Biography

CELTIC THUNDER, a brand-new show created and produced by Sharon Browne, made its debut in the U.S. with a public television special airing on local stations nationwide in March 2008.

Product Description

Overture and beginners please... Strike up the band... Stand by for Celtic Thunder... and It s Entertainment . This stylish and high energy trip through some of the great songs of the last 30 years is pure showbiz! It is a tribute from Celtic Thunder to the legacy they have inherited from the great entertainers of the past, and a mark of how far they themselves have travelled as performers, in a few short years. It evokes an era of big bands and boulevards, top hats and tails and singing and dancin in the rain! It makes for irresistible listening as the principals from this generation pay their respects to the stars of an earlier time. In the true tradition of variety the music covers a mix of styles, of songs and of singers, as the lads salute their musical heroes- from Fred Astaire to Neil Diamond, from Jim Croce to Chicago, from Michael Buble to The Beach Boys!
Each member features with two songs, one a serious workout, the other a bit of pure fun and a chance to let the hair down! These lighter choices have George stomping around to The Proclaimer s My Life With You , while Ryan takes on the persona of a Chicago gangster with Bad, Bad Leroy Brown . Keith slips right into character with a Surfer Medley and Damian becomes a bit of a boulevardier with Standing On The Corner . Paul steps up to the plate as an accomplished song and dance man with the rooty-tooty Doo Wacka Doo , specially written by Phil Coulter. One big surprise package is guitarist Neil who not only joins Ryan and Keith in a haunting, close harmony version of Leonard Cohen s Hallelujah but also delivers a superb, soulful solo on the Disney classic When You Wish Upon A Star . The show is rounded off by a couple of ensemble numbers, featuring all six singers, the perennial Amazing Grace and U2 s anthemic Still Haven t Found What I m Looking For . All in all, this is an inspired celebration of wonderful songs and great singers, an uplifting feel-good package that is the perfect antidote to the recession blues!

5.0 out of 5 stars Change can be hard but..., February 15, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: It's Entertainment! (Audio CD)
I've heard many say they are disappointed with the direction they feel Celtic Thunder is going with the release of It's Entertainment. I say drop all the notions of what you think Celtic Thunder is or should be and embrace this small step in the journey. Change, variation, mixing things up; it is all necessary for growth. Give it a chance and I believe you will be pleasantly surprised. These men have real, raw talent and it shines brighter then ever here!

Damian wows again with his continued vocal maturity and growth, delivering a solid, flawless version of Home. With Standing On The Corner his impish, charming side comes to the front in a playful performance that leaves you smiling.

Paul puts aside the powerhouse ballads for a bit of lighter fare. He enchants with Doo Whacka Doo a rollicking tribute to the good old songs of yesterday, and compels us to dance with the alluring, flirty Sway.

Keith starts out with Hard to Say I'm Sorry which, while pleasant and romantic, does not do his voice or ability justice. When he cuts loose with Surfer Medley it is Keith at his best! It's funky, fun and free, with rip-snorting guitar playing that just makes you want to get down and boogie!

Ryan's Bad Bad Leroy Brown is entertaining and suits his voice but it's in Everything I Do that he really stands out. He puts perfect emotion and passion into the song and the delivery is silky smooth and believable.

George is as steady and dependable as ever. Hello Again showcases his softer, mellower side while Life With You is a lively, lighthearted diversion from his usual ballads.

Neil proves with When You Wish Upon a Star that he is more then an all-star musician, he is a brilliant vocalist as well.

Just Like Jesse James seems a bit out of place here if you have not watched the It's Entertainment show. However, I find myself enjoying it more every time I listen.

The trio of Ryan, Keith and Neil amaze with the stunning Hallelujah. My one complaint-it isn't long enough!
Amazing Grace with all six guys is the best version I think I've ever heard. The movement and blending of their voices is gorgeous and so polished.

All in all this is a wonderful album and I look forward to whatever Celtic Thunder does next!

5.0 out of 5 stars You won't be sorry!!, February 9, 2010
This review is from: It's Entertainment! (Audio CD)
It was March 2008 when I first heard Celtic Thunder... and two years later, they are still bringing magic to the recording studio!! This CD is no exception... a sort of bandstand tribute to classics of the past few decades, this is a music collection that is fun, vibrant, and poignant.

After a few listens through, I already have far too many favorites than I could count! George delights in both the driving My Life With You and the more tender Hello Again (definitely one of my favorites on the CD!!!). Damian retains his boyish charm in Standing on the Corner. Keith brings the fun of the '60s back with the Surfer Medley. Paul dances his way through both solo numbers... Doo Whacka Doo and Sway (which makes me want to go dance WITH him). The newest member to the ensemble, Neil, croons a gentle When You Wish Upon a Star that seems just perfect for his voice. Ryan puts a big smile on my face with Bad Bad Leroy Brown, and then contrasts it with the romantic Everything I Do, something I've wanted to hear for quite some time!! Absolutely beautiful.

But that's not all... Each of the ensemble numbers are truly amazing in their harmonies. Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For is energetic, Amazing Grace is hauntingly beautiful.. and Hallelujah (performed by Neil, Ryan, and Keith) moves me to tears.

I highly recommend this CD! You'll love it!!
