Title: Number of Celtic concerts attended
Post by: Kimberly AJ on January 27, 2013, 07:23AM
Besides Celtic Woman, I think some of us have attended different Celtic concerts like Celtic Thunder. I went to the Celtic Woman concert six times and the Celtic Thunder one once. Can anyone tell me how many Celtic concerts they've attended?

I have been to 3 Celtic Thunder shows. Also seen Natalie MacMaster, Altan and Cherish the Ladies in concert. Had tickets for Clannad and Eileen Ivers but my bad foot forced me to miss those!  >:(

I also had a ticket for Anuna when they came to town several years ago, but they changed the venue and no one thought to announce it. When I did find out and learned where they moved the concert to, it wasn't that far but I didn't know the area and hoped to take a bus, but buses didn't run out there! So they did give me a refund on my ticket and didn't even argue it. But I don't think it was Anuna's fault. I think the venue should have clearly announced what had happened.

I have also seen Riverdance twice and Lord of the Dance once, until this March when I will see LotD twice in one day, from the same seat both shows!

Also, forgot this so had to add and edit : Been to a couple Orla solo shows and her Nashville recording with Meav.

NOT NEARLY ENOUGH!! ;)


I think Cash has been to a few Celtic Woman shows, too. :)

I have seen CW 24 times, including 3 with The High Kings as the opening act.  At one of the shows, our friend Kimberly was in the front row and met Chloe (for the first time) and Mairead at the meet and greet.  That was a very special evening. :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

My town has had a good lot of Irish/Celtic musicians performing here in the last few years.  We've had the Irish Chamber Orchestra and Natalie MacMaster, and Lord of the Dance will also be performing next month. 

Despite this, I've only managed to see a handful of shows. I've been to two Celtic Woman concerts--A New Journey, and Isle of Hope.  I was planning on seeing them for Songs of the Heart, but my college funds wouldn't let me.  Same reason why I can't see them this year.  ::)  I also got to see Riverdance back in May--I very much enjoyed that. ;D

Well, i've been around a lot, and so I've seen a lot. Of course, I attended Celtic Woman's Paris concert (curiously, one of the other students in my irish dance class was also at this concert).

As for other shows, I've seen Riverdance (four times), Lord of the Dance, Rhythm of the Dance, Magic of the Dance, Gaelforce Dance, Spirit of Ireland, To Dance on the Moon, Dancing on Dangerous Ground, Celtic Legends, Irish Legends, Irish Celtic and the first two St. Patrick Day's concerts in the Stade de France.

Artists: Let me see: Gilles Servat, Carlos Nuñez, Susanna Seivane, Altan, the Chieftains (twice), the Dubliners, Gaelic Storm (the last two at EuroDisney), Grand Dérangement (three times), Vishten (twice). I may have forgotten a few, but it will probably come back to me later.

Edit: What did I tell you: How could I forget Tri Yann ?

I've been to Riverdance three times (the first two with Lisa Kelly) and Lord of the Dance three times, all at the Clemens Center in Elmira.
Prior to this year, I had been to five Celtic Woman concerts. So far this year, I have been to five more with Bethel to come.
This year, I also saw Celtic Nights with Una Pedreschi.
