Album Description
For Celtic Thunder, Sharon Browne has teamed up with Grammy-nominated Irish songwriting and composing veteran Phil Coulter to produce a show that includes an eclectic mix of songs ranging from the traditional "Mountains of Mourne" and "Come By the Hills" to international hits such as "Brothers in Arms" and "Desperado," as well as original compositions by Coulter, who has written hits for Elvis Presley ("My Boy") and the Bay City Rollers, and performed with Van Morrison, Tom Jones, and the Rolling Stones. The ensemble numbers in Celtic Thunder reflect the power of the vocalists, who range in age from 14 to 40, and feature songs that celebrate a common Celtic heritage.

Number 1 new group of singers December 1, 2008
Celtic Thunder is a very uplifting group. Fun to watch. Very talented group of singers. Now days this is hard to find in a group of singers.
 Celtic Thunder DVD November 24, 2008

I can't rate the show here because we could not watch it because the DVD would not get past the FBI disclaimer. Our DVD player is not the problem as we watched DVD's all weekend with no problem. We sent back the first one and they sent a replacement, but it did the very same thing. The quality of the DVD is awful and even though we were looking forward to the show, we simply can't get it to play. Things were so much better on the old VHS format because you did not have a device that hangs up on the FBI disclaimer for 5 minutes before the player shuts it off.
Outstanding November 23, 2008
I watched this on TV, enjoyed it so much I had to have the DVD so I can watch it whenever I need my fix. I enjoy all of the music and highly recommend it.
"Celtic," maybe, but not very Irish November 23, 2008

This show is a sappy, over-the-top, pseudo-Irish show intended for American audiences, people who would not know Irish music if it bit them on the leg. It is basically a Broadway-style show, big production, what looks like lip-synched singing, etc.
Do NOT confuse this show with Irish music. This is Americanized semi-Irish stuff. If you like big, Broadway shows, you might like this. If you like Irish music, especially Irish traditional music, don't waste your time.
Do Not Must This Show! November 20, 2008
I have been reading through some of the several thousand reviews people have taken the time to write. You'll notice the things people keep saying are how talented the vocalists are, how beautiful the music is and how they watch the DVD over and over again. Be aware, the DVD is nothing compared to the live show. It's the difference between watching TV and experiencing reality. Whatever you have to do, go see the show! Buy this DVD and the two CD's. I saw the group perform here in Florida last week. I have seen hundreds of groups perform but this was the best show I have seen. Take a back seat Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, Hank Jr. and everyone else. I truely feel sorry for anyone who has not seen this show.
I was concerned about what may have happened to Damian's voice between 14 and 16. I was delighted to find that his voice is still the same. I have been trying to think of a male vocalist with a more beautiful voice but without success.
Everyone I know who had seen the show will use one word to describe it - "Beautiful". Beautiful music and beautiful voices. All the great things said in all these reviews are 100% correct. I credit Phil Coulter for a good deal of the success as he helped select the group members and picked the tunes (he wrote most of them). I hope we will soon be treated to more CD's followed by a second tour. I can't imagine how they could top this one but I will be there. I will never pass up a chance to see these guys perform especially Damian. I was very disappointed that they were so poorly promoted by PBS.
