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.

Celtic Thunder: The Show
I saw this group on CPTV. I just fell in love with them. I listen to the CD on my way to work everyday. I just can't get enough of it. I put the video on when I'm working on my computer which is almost always. They are just great. What I like the most is that there is a story with each song - just beautiful. They all have beautiful voices. I want so much to see them in person in our area (Connecticut).
Rating: - Compelling Listening
Wonderful CD! A lot of variety in content. Each voice featured nicely. I would have enjoyed a few more songs with all singing together instead of so many solos, but this was great, too.
Rating: - Lots of Talent here
These guys can really sing. This album is well produced and the music is great. There is also a video which is really entertaining as well. It's refreshing and different, sets a great mood.
Rating: - Wonderful mix of talent and songs
You'll love both the CD and DVD of Celtic Thunder. Music is a mix of known favorites and new ones. Each of the 5 singers has a distinct style. Great listening and viewing.
Rating: - I'm in "LOVE" with Celtic Thunder
I watched the PBS special on Celtic Thunder and fell in love. I decided to order their CD after a month of going on-line and listening to snipets of songs. I am so glad I ordered it and received it this week. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to swoon over the music and want to listen over and over again to amazing voices.
