For Celtic Thunder, Sharon Browne has teamed up with Grammy-nominated Irish songwriting and composing veteran Phil Coulter to produce a show that includes an eclectic mix of songs ranging from the traditional "Mountains of Mourne" and "Come By the Hills" to international hits such as "Brothers in Arms" and "Desperado," as well as original compositions by Coulter, who has written hits for Elvis Presley ("My Boy") and the Bay City Rollers, and performed with Van Morrison, Tom Jones, and the Rolling Stones. The ensemble numbers in Celtic Thunder reflect the power of the vocalists, who range in age from 14 to 40, and feature songs that celebrate a common Celtic heritage.

Very talented:
This DVD is enjoyed by everyone that sees it. We gave several as gifts last year and everyone has enjoyed them. The PBS special whets your appetite to see the entire show. The entire cast from the 5 guys to the musicians are very versatile and talented. You will not regret buying this. We are looking forward to their next DVD.
Celtic Thunder:
This was the most wonderful show I have seen on TV or on live stage. I have purchased several DVDs to give to friends and family. My g.daughter and her little friends all love it. They particularly love Damien, who was fourteen when the show was first shown on PBS, but they also have a fondness for Keith, who was about five years older. I like all of them as they are a fantastic ensemble, but I must admit I have a liking for Ryan--the "bad boy." Recently, I was able to take my college g.son to Little Rock... more info
Keltic Thunder:
Quality is A-one. Was at the concert and the Video is almost as good as being there. Unbelievable value for the money.
Celtic Thunder -the show:
This show was fantastic live and it is wonderful to be able to watch them whenever I want and also see the stars talk about themselves. I would recommend this to anyone whether Celtic or not. An excelent show.
