Last Monday, March 17, St Patrick's Day, B .and I attended a Celtic Woman's concert.  B. bought the tickets last October for my birthday after seeing their concert on public television.  At the time he was totally entranced with the fiddler who danced and leaped all over the stage with her long blond hair flying all while playing her violin.  He was even more delighted to see her in person at the concert.  I enjoyed her music very much.  I wasn't as enthralled with her dancing around and hair flipping as he was! 

That being said, I enjoyed the music very much.  The four singers sang with a blend of voices that you usually hear in voices from the same family.  All of them were accomplished soloists and the backup voices of four men and four woman made many of the accapella numbers extremely beautiful to hear.  I also was amazed at how much depth the percussionists added to the numbers.  The variety of instruments and the skill of the two men playing them was amazing.

The audience was also interesting to observe.  The average age of the attendees was probably 50.  There was more grey hair to be seen then I had ever seen in one place before!  I also only saw one black person in the entire audience of hundred's of people. 

I am glad that I had this opportunity to see the group in person.  Now I will be perfectly content to buy a DVD of their concert and watch it in the comfort of my family room!

Loey thinks they are lip-sincing to pre-recorded music.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!
