Great sound, interesting lyrics in spots. Now, the whole neighborhood is listening and watching and trying to get more copies and tickets to the live show!

Rating: - Celtic Thunder No. 1 Fan
Celtic Thunder: The Show This is absolutely the best DVD I have ever purchsed. I try to play it at least 4 or 5 times/week, even if I can just hear the music. I have never heard such talented singers in one show. I would love to see their show live.
