Great video, Marc! I'm glad you got to meet some of the girls! And Chloë was so sweet to you! How amazing! Thanks for sharing!
I was there too, in the theater, I mean. Couldn't go to the stage door because I had a long way to go to my home, and as I had to wake up at 4 am today, I needed all the sleep I could get.
First, let's get the not so good out of the way: first, there was not very much advertising of the concert. It was not even listed in Pariscope this week (for our british friends, it would be like doing a concert in London and not listing it in Time Out). To the point where I was worried not enough people were to come. But thankfully, come they did, even if some seats stayed vacant. Second, I'm sure a lot more merchandise could have been sold if people could have payed by credit card. Myself, I had to go out of the theater, find an ATM (something which, to my surprise, was pretty rare in the neighbourhood), and come back to the theater in order to buy the programme. The things we do for Celtic Woman !
But I have to say, it's worth it, every step of the way. Wonderful concert, from start to finish. And I had a good seat: stage left (in front of Ray and Brian, sixth row. A night to remember (I had a few this week, with South Pacific and Wicked in London), for all the good reasons. Gorgeous and talented singers, great musicians, beautiful staging, great songs and tunes. And I can't wait to have Walking the Night, My Heart was Home Again and Give Me Your Hand on the next CD (BTW, can somebody tell me the name of the tune that links Malking the Night and Give me your Hand? I know it's something by O'Carolan, but I can't remember the title). A great night by all accounts. Let's hope the girls will be back soon, for a longer stay in a bigger theater (The Palais des Congrès comes to mind here). Now, I will recover from the short night and the harsh morning.
Great write-up, Gerard! Glad you had a good time!
To answer your question, I believe the song is called "Tabhair Dom Do Lámh."
