I was wanting to see and hear Lisa Kelly
again, so I pulled the
Songs From the Heart DVD down from the shelf, and I realized that I hadn't watched it in a very long time. This show is
full of excellent performances of so many great songs. If you haven't watched it lately, do yourself a favor. Several songs are included in the
Emerald tour and have not lost any impact with the renditions of today's line-up; but it's a treat to see and hear LisaK, Alex, Chloe, and (for those of us who won't get to see her return) Lynn -- and OF COURSE MaireadN.
I knew I was lucky to get to see the
SFtH tour several times
, but I'm not sure I realized at the time how
absolutely special that group of girls was. Don't take that the wrong way -- I loooove the 2014 Celtic Woman and every other line-up they've ever had. There seems to be a steady stream of talented Irish women who don't mind performing 300-or-so days a year
; and lucky for us, David Downes (or whoever the talent scout is) knows where to find 'em.
BUT back to the thread
... "Fields of Gold", "Goodnight, My Angel" and "Galway Bay" are my favorite songs from this show.
