On Thursday April 16Th Gerald and I went to a Celtic Woman Concert. I know it doesn't sound very cool but they are amazing. I would love to have a voice like that. There are 4 women who sing and a violinist or fiddler. When they sing it sounds absolutely effortless. Photography wasn't allowed during the show unfortunately. The tickets were a bit expensive but it was well worth it. The violinist is unbelievable. She dances and plays without ever missing a note. She played so hard she broke her bow and had to get another one toward the end of the show. I recommend it to anyone. Below is a little about them from wikipedia.
Celtic Woman is a musical ensemble comprising five Irish female artists: vocalists Chloë Agnew, Lynn Hilary, Lisa Kelly, Alex Sharpe and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt. The group's repertoire ranges from traditional Celtic tunes to modern songs. To date, the group has released four albums, Celtic Woman, Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration, Celtic Woman: A New Journey and Celtic Woman: The Greatest Journey and have undertaken a number of world tours.
The foundation for Celtic music's popularity outside of Ireland and Europe was previously set by artists Enya and Clannad, along with stage shows Riverdance and Lord of the Dance. To this end, Celtic Woman has been referred to as "Riverdance for the voice."[1]

I've heard a lot of their songs and they ARE very talented. We watched one of their concerts on tv a while back. Pretty cool girls. Paul Pierson is a HUGE fan of them. I wonder if he took Arlen to see them.
