Got the good news in my email box today (and just saw the postings about Brendan)  -   ALL RIGHT, CELTIC WOMAN !!!!!!!!!!!       

And, YEAY, Brendan !!!!!!!!!!

WE WON, in both catagories !!!!!!!!!!!     

[irishgirl]

Eoghan O'Neill, CW's bass player, also won with his band Moving Hearts and Tommy Martin, CW's uilleann piper, flute and whistle player, also tours with Teada (best young traditional act) often.  This is a testament to how talented the band members are as well as the girls!

[Jeanine]

Terrific!  Congratulations to them as well!!
