I've been wondering about this too... I came across these White House photographs (some featuring Celtic Woman - ya-hoo!!!) this evening; I found them at the Orlando Irish Site. I apologize if someone has already posted this (I searched the Forum and did not see any references).
Excerpt from the site:

Ted Kennedy, John Desmond, Prime Minister Bertie Ahern and Ambassador Noel Fahey and wife, Ann Byrnes his aide and staff, Justice Antonin Scalia, "Celtic Woman" who performed for President Bush and guests at the White House, President Bush after the concert, US Marine Corp sextet, Congressman Chris Smith of New Jersey, Sir Hugh Orde Chief Constable of Northern Ireland and aide, Jim Bomford, Margaret Delacour Northern Ireland Activist, Byron Underwood, Nick Gutierrez, Grant Lally, Irish GOP members and Seal of the President of the United States Here's the link:

It's just a matter of finding out who did the shooting...
I POSTED THE FOLLOWING BEFORE I READ WOODY'S POST.
I GOT THOSE PICS IN MARCH FROM JOHN DESMOND, WHO WAS OUR REPRESENTATIVE INVITED TO THE WHITE HOUSE St. PATRICK'S PARTY. A friend of mine did! (Unofficially) He was invited as a member of the AOH (Ancient Order of Hibernians) and took some photographs which he sent to me. They were general shots of Pres Bush and the crowd, but you can see the CW ladies in the background. |

Now, if only someone could find a video -- or if CW could post a vid recording of the performance themselves, when the official site is updated...

The first few pics are at the Irish Ambassador's residence. The guy speaking who is not wearing a green tie is Bertie Ahern, An Taoiseach. The girls are seen in the White House. John said there was no video recording. |

What a pity. CW should at least have had one of their extended team members video this historic event for posterity. Just out of curiosity, who is John? |

He is John Desmond, Treasurer of the Irish American Cultural Society of Central Florida, which I usually refer to as "our Irish Club". I was President from 1998 to 2000 but didn't get an invite to the White House!  John is also a member of AOH (Ancient Order of Hibernians) and the Florida Republicans. He is on the left in this photo:  |

As I said, John Desmond is on the left. (He was born in Cork, came to the USA as a child) He sends me e-mails almost every day on Irish matters. We don't always agree but we have some lively debates! He is at all our events, ceilí etc. I haven't a clue who the others are......I'll have to ask John. The photos were taken with his camera. The one with the green hankie has to be an American politician!  I don't get the "Gryffindor?  ? yes I know it's a house in Hogwarts....Harry Potter etc..... |

At last! Here's a picture of Chloe and the girls with the President of the United States!  I love Chloe's hairstyle in this performance. She really outdid herself in beauty for this very special occasion. Too bad there isn't a video. Picture from the amazing new Celtic Woman site, of course... |
