I hear they're wonderful! I'm with you on the fainting! I keep thinking that I would faint too, but I have some questions ready so that will help! Thanks for sharing.
Regards,

I haven't seen any PBS shows yet, but I did attend the closing ceremonies of the winter Olympics! What a lot of fun! It was absolutely unreal to be sitting there - and wearing moose antlers, of all things! I don't know if I would have liked it as much if I were watching it at home on tv, but it was a blast to be there in person. Home again now and looking forward to watching & pledging during the PBS show this week!

How can the millions of YOUR supporters, as well as the adoring fans of Celtic Thunder, ever relate to you how grateful we are for every ounce of hard work and planning that you do to bring the world the very best entertainment...hands down? There aren't enough words.

My love of celtic music began with Riverdance, then on to Celtic Woman, The High Kings and now Celtic Thunder: my Scotch-Irish ancestors settled in the deep Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina and they brought their musical heritage with them, quietly sharing their songs and dances with the native Cherokee Indians and other early settlers. These lovely jigs and reels can still be found back in those remote hills and valleys to this day.

Your work, Sharon, with Phil Coulter is brilliant and your reach for perfection with each new show stands high. I can only repeat what I posted on Damian's blog...it's pure JOY to watch him mature into adulthood; one new song after another keeps him reaching more and more to polish those deepening tones and it's breathtaking to both watch and listen to him grow into a fabulous singer. You have put together such a fine team of musicians and it's pleasing to see you add more voices and performers to the mix. I'm just wearing out the CT dvds and cds and can hardly wait to pre-order the STORM discs.

Please know that the addition of "The Story So Far" is so very much appreciated...we are eager to share in the team's progress from those initial auditions to the place they are today. As you are able, please continue to include updated interviews with the team members on future dvds - for those of us who will never be able to see a live show and participate in the 'meet 'n greets', it fulfills a need for us to feel like we're right there in the middle of all the excitement of the shows.

Don't pay too much attention to the critics who scream that the songs are not all Irish anymore - your sense of making the song selections extremely entertaining is right on track...let those people buy the High Kings dvd if all they want are Irish tunes. George is right - you know what the audience wants to see and hear and you're going with your best instincts...keep up the good work, Sharon. We love the oldies and the goodies...and we love Phil Coulter's creations...it's all pure 'magic'.

Sincerely, an devoted Ohio/USA fan,

Are there Canadian concert dates known yet? How does one go about getting M&G tickets for these shows once they are posted? I really don't want to lose the chance this time round too! Please help me Sharon!
Tanya-

hi sharron,
i get to watch the guys on pbs on the 2nd here in florida.
i really would love to meet the guys. hoping to get the meet and greet.
but not sure how it works. or if i can get 4 tickets together with it.
sure would like to know. thanks

Sharon,

CT will be performing in Everett, WA on 30 Oct I learned watching PBS. This is during football season and I have two sons who play American Football, one in college and one in high school. My eldest has a game that day on the other side of the mountains in WA. When will the tour schedule post so I can see if I can make it to a different show out here? Maybe Portland or with luck CT will perform a couple of nights again in western WA and I can catch them on a different date. This past year I was lucky to catch their first show in Seattle as it was during the week, the next day was Veteran's Day and being a Veteran (retired US Air Force) it was the perfect gift for me!

Hope the schedule posts soon! Thanks for all you do and am sure all the promos are going well, everyone I talk to loves these guys and their music, or maybe I'm just intimidating and/or convincing when I talk about them. CT is awesome and we'll just go with that!

Thanks a bunch,

Roberta

Thanks for all of your work and talent. So very many people enjoy Celtic Thunder and appreciate all that you and the GUYS do for your fans.

Paul and Damian were great on PBS Jacksonville, FL. Wish I had found out sooner but was able to see them after checking on Paul's site.

Last year my sister flew down from Richmond Virginia to Jacksonville, FL to give me a special Birthday Present, Celtic Thunder tickets. We had a BLAST and look forward to being with each other AGAIN in November. We don't get to see each other very often and this has become a wonderful tradition. The music and antics are so uplifting and just plain FUN. I bought her a copy of the first Celtic Thunder DVD a couple of years ago after I watched it on PBS and she got hooked. She told me that she was more excited coming to see them last year than she was when she went to see the Beatles!!! That's some vote of confidence. Thanks again for all that ALL of you do.

PS: Is the pre-show meet and greet available other than through PBS? That price could pretty steep for many.

Good morning, Sharon. You are a master planner to be able pull off all of these PBS stops. Fans everywhere appreciate all you do to keep Celtic Thunder moving along. We really appreciated and enjoyed the Baltimore stop last night. It was good to see Neil "Up close and Personal". He is almost as "adorable" as Damian, though Damian will always hold that title for me. Will re-watch the pledge breaks many times. Give everyone our love and keep everyone healthy. October 15th in Baltimore is on the kitchen calendar. See you there. MLD
