Celtic Woman--Voices Like Angels

69

By Athlyn Green

From the very beginning, the group, Celtic Woman, has been a success, holding the coveted Number 1 position on the Billboard World Music Charts for an astonishing 95 weeks.

And it's not surprising. Combine haunting violin music with angelic voices and you have music that transcends boundaries and connects to a worldwide audience. Celtic Woman concerts are met with enthusiasm and awe and Celtic Woman CDs have gone Platinum and Gold.

The group was the brainchild of David Downes (Musical Composer-Director) and Dave Kavanagh (Executive Producer).

Hi, Athlyn, I have just spent the last half hour reading and listening to these gorgeous voices. I can't believe I had not heard of them. I collect Celtic music, and somehow I missed these. The funny story behind this was that thank goodness for the new hub karma thing. I was just linking one of my key words to a list, and like you do, I ran my cursor down the list and spotted yours. it came up, and out of curiousity I clicked on the first song, you raise me up, and of course i thought it was so fantastic without thinking I clicked the link before it started playing again. The funny thing was that i had just started to do another word when out of the pc, the lovely voices started singing! and I could'nt find it! I waited till I had finished the page and quickly clicked on the word and found you! ha ha so I am not letting you get away again! I am definetly going to buy some of their music. thanks for the great hub. thanks nell

Hi Athlyn,

Until I saw the PBS special, I had not even heard of them before and now I am absolutely hooked and looking at the related hubs links on this page, I'm going to read their bios as well.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful music and these videos with us. Now, I will have to go out and find one of their CDs! This group is really inspiring.

It is so refreshing to hear beautiful, unspoiled women's voices singing lovely melodies that uplift and inspire. We don't find enough of that, these days.
