CELTIC THUNDER – ‘LEGACY VOL 1’
Legacy is an exciting live show that celebrates the influence of Irish and Celtic music around the world and the imprint that such music has made. Lively, fast paced and upbeat songs A Place in The Choir, Galway Girl and Raggle Taggle Gypsy represent the fun loving nature of the Irish while the slower classic ballads Black Velvet Band, Noreen and Mountains of Mourne play to their nostalgic and romantic side. Featuring all new recordings, the songs on Legacy are varied in style and run the gamut from classic Irish folk songs and ballads such as Danny Boy and Buachaille On Eirne to the more contemporary hits Falling Slowly and Ride On and rousing anthems Caledonia and Ireland’s Call.
Legacy finds Celtic Thunder soloists Colm Keegan, Keith Harkin, Ryan Kelly, Emmett O’Hanlon and Neil Byrne reunited with guest artist Damian McGinty, an original member of Celtic Thunder who went on to win Fox’s “The Glee Project” before landing a recurring role (as “Rory Flanagan”) in the hit series “Glee!”
Legacy offers music lovers a wide variety of solo selections and fan favorites, all newly recorded to reflect the current cast on Legacy. The Celtic Thunder vocalists are backed by the eight-piece Celtic Thunder Band on strings, guitars, percussion, whistles, pipes and more, led by musical director is David Munro, who also plays keyboards in the show. Celtic Thunder continues to extensively tour the USA, Canada and Australia and New Zealand.
