Title: Is My Land originally CT song Post by: BlueAquaOcean on June 08, 2016, 10:50PM I wondered about this
Title: Re: Is My Land originally CT song Post by: Celtic Chan on June 09, 2016, 08:05AM I'm not sure who the original artist is, but I know that Órla covered the song before Celtic Thunder did. ;)

Title: Re: Is My Land originally CT song Post by: rfcw on June 09, 2016, 09:43AM At first I wasn't too thrilled finding out CW would sing it having heard all the previous versions!
Nevermind, CW made it so Beautiful esp with Susan, it blew the roof of CW history once again!!! I don't know it's traditional but by now with CW covering it, it's bound to be more famous just like Orinoco Flow since Enya. Title: Re: Is My Land originally CT song Post by: Celtic Chan on June 09, 2016, 10:10AM Artists who have sang "My Land":
Secret Garden: Inside I'm Singing (2007) Órla Fallon: Distant Shore CD (2009) / My Land CD and DVD (2011) Paul Byrom: This is the Moment (2011) Celtic Thunder: Mythology CD and DVD (2013) Celtic Woman: Destiny CD and DVD (2015) There have been a few artists who have sung "My Land" before Celtic Thunder ever did. Title: Re: Is My Land originally CT song Post by: ShiningBright on June 09, 2016, 11:17AM Ha! Then Wikipedia was wrong and Brendan wrote it for Secret Garden, which makes muchmore sense.
Title: Re: Is My Land originally CT song Post by: CWazyTom on June 09, 2016, 08:12PM Brandon Graham's been involved with a LOT of our favorite Celitc Woman songs over the years.
Here are the ones I can think of. Can you think of any more? - My Land - The Voice - O America - You Raise Me Up - Sometimes a Prayer Will Do - Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears - Christmas Pipes - The Blessing - Sing Out! - The Call - The Soft Goodbye On the Destiny tour show that I saw, the girls actually acknowledged just how important he's been to Celtic Woman ("a great friend" to the group is how Susan described him) which I thought was really classy! |
