Looking for Celtic Woman in KC in 2008?
Celtic Woman is of course several women, a kind of an operatic girl-band of big Irish musical stuff in flowing evening dresses amidst flowing swirls of Celtic paraphernalia and orchestral smoke. It’s perfect for a date, or for your mother. Better again is to bring somebody else’s mother as your date.
In case you missed the arrival of this latest Celtic Supershow following in the wake of Riverdance, Celtic Woman are singers Méav, Orla, Lisa, Chloe, and more recently Hayley, along with former All-Ireland fiddle champion, Máiréad, all led by composer and musical director, David Downes.
And lest you think I’m laughing at them, or they can’t sing, well I’m not, and they most certanly can. There is some very serious experience in there, and my favourite is the young New Zealand soprano Hayley Westenra whose PURE is the best selling album of all time in New Zealand (Parents from Ireland, Stan can pick her). There’s a nice video that plays automatically on her website. Or try Scarborough Fair HERE on YouTube
At this stage I think they have all released solo albums titled only by their first names, like Elvis and Eddie
The girls are rehearsing in Dublin right now before beginning on an extensive tour of the US, Celtic Woman, A New Journey, which opens on Valentine’s Day in Florida and goes on to include St Patricks Day (in New York of course), and their Kansas City appearance in between shows in St Louis (April 22) and Little Rock (April 25). And then it seems to go on forever. All the dates are on their website
And because the legend that is Celtic Woman was born on PBS you’ll want to keep an eye on KCPT for your tickets - though you do have the usual option of paying extortionate service fees by using Ticketmaster.
Here’s Celtic Woman on the Late Late back in 2005, fifty weeks before their album was replaced at the top of Billboard’s World Music Charts - by the Christmas Celtic Woman album. Oh and Méav isn’t in this because I think she was at home looking after the babbie.
The Music Hall is located at 301 W. 13th Street (13th & Central) in downtown Kansas City, Missouri, 64105.
