Celtic Thunder: Celebrate Your Favorite Songs

About this event

In 2007 producer Sharon Browne filmed the first ever Celtic Thunder show at the Helix in Dublin, Ireland. The concept was to feature a group of men from Ireland and Scotland, who range in age from 21 to 42, and feature songs that celebrate a common Celtic heritage. The resulting show included an eclectic mix of songs ranging from the traditional to international hits and some original pieces along the way. The current cast of Celtic Thunder is made up of diverse performers, Emmet Cahill, Neil Byrne, Damian McGinty and Ronan Scolard. The members of Celtic Thunder are each a powerhouse in both their solo and ensemble songs.

A full US and Canada tour followed in the fall of that year, along with a second CD from the Show called “Act II”.

The first Celtic Thunder Christmas CD and DVD were also released in October 2010. Two more releases followed in 2011 for Celtic Thunder, Heritage in Feb ’11 and Storm, their first theatrical production in August 2011. Celtic Thunder also took the Heritage show on tour in the US that year. February 2013 saw the show return to the Helix in Dublin to film their 9thDVD and 10thCD entitled “Mythology” which presented a perfect blend of entertainment, ideology, and Gaelic spirituality, providing a modern twist on the old Celtic storytelling tradition.
