There's something healing about Irish music I don't get from any other genre. It just cleanses my soul somehow.
It is born of pain and suffering, infused with passion and belief, blessed with love and soul.
@@annek1226 You have to go through a potato famine or two to understand...
I don't know it's kind of cheery, Old Norse music and Serbian folk are very depressing, but you would be to if you were stuck in that landscape.
me to...its very hard to explain to people how & why! Don't forget the dancing!
Not all there songs are Irish that why they are called Celtic woman not Irish woman I have heard a few Scottish and one that was gypsy not trying to troll just to let you know that is all
Wow! This made me feel so proud to be Irish and I'm not even Irish.
Being Irish is what you feel from the soul
@@columbannon9134 You're not wrong but that's a weird way of saying Dutch
@@cpeterso wat bedoel u mijn vriend?
:D
I am from the UK. I love the Irish people,its culture and its music. I would love to visit Ireland one day.
I love how these girls Always seem to have the time of their lives when they're on stage. Especially the Violinist. There's no denying that XD
She was the longest last member last I checked! Her name is Mairead I believe, and DONT quote me on this but I believe her husband actually helped found Celtic Woman. Sadly she left CW to pursue her own career, however their new violinist is also very lively and very skilled :)!
Her name is Méraiéd
Or something like that.
@@achiivement Máiréad Nesbitt and Tara McNeill is the current one.
@@achiivement I found maried was more energetic in her older performances while her latest one she seems to have lost a bit off the energy she use to have you can tell the difference
I’d love to see a violin off between the Celtic Woman violinist and Lyndsey Sterling not to see who’d win, just for a good show
Agreed
definitely
no way. mairead is way outta lyndsey's range cause shes been doing for many years since a young child...
Also Mairead is technically way better than Lindsey Stirling. Her play is rather sloppy.
@@salembookworm yep!!
imagine feeling like a proud irish sailor while being italian
The Roman Empire called Ireland "the land of winter" and so Caesar didn't bother attacking Hibernia.
"Hibernia" is the same word as "Hibernate".
Im black and I feel like one
I’m Irish and Italian. Don’t have to pretend more than the sailor part.
The small bit of Irish in me is proud 😌
Same with hungarian
Music proves its universality in the way it makes us feel. I am Spanish and Flamenco makes me want to cry of passion, Irish music makes my heart dance till my feet can follow, Nordic and North European music makes me feel brave and powerful, African musics make my heart beat to their rythms, Desi music takes me to a world of emotions, East Asian music make me feel impossibly graceful and elegant... There is no music that makes us indifferent. Music is the language of the souls, way more than what any literature can be, and because of it, it can share emotions that could not be shared in any other way. Music is the cleansing of the souls, and the easiest way to tie everyone together emotionally. It is an experience that can be felt alone or as part of something much humanely bigger. Music does not discriminate, and makes us all equals when it joins us in one same feeling at one same time. Music is magic
Most eloquent response.
I guess that’s part of why music is on the Voyager’s Golden Record
Прекрасен е ирландския фолклор, одухотворява те, пречиства ,възвисява, така както уникалния БЪЛГАРСКИ фолклор и изкуство!!! Я, вижте и чуйте поне малко от него , и ще разберете за какво Ви говоря!!!😘
Hear hear!
Music IS magic
Thank you for describing so well
This has to be the most classy way of saying, I want to party all night.
Complete agreement
but the night wouldn't be long enough for this party
"James9 months ago (edited)
but the night wouldn't be long enough for this party"
Quite right, from what i can tell this song has a very Fae vibe even if it isn't talking about them directly, and is likely a reference to the Eternal Dance at least obliquely.
XD that's gold!
Lizl Niemand Love your profile picture/avatar! :D ♥
0:49 "We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled."
LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE!!!!
that's awesome! it looks like he's pressing the drum to change how tight it is, changing the sound...amazing!
@@katl8825 yes and he also uses fingerpicks on the inside of the drum...
"I will now proceed to swan dive into the concrete."
Sometimes it's difficult to believe that she's actually playing the violin while she's dancing joyfully. I can't imagine whether we'd be able to do that or not. Probably not.
Only other person I know of that can pull that off is Lindsey Stirling
She is only miming I guess it would be impossible otherwise
singers too I bet
@@d.r.9888 singers in this show were entirely lip syncing the songs. The only bits that is actually them is the "yips"
Máiréad Nesbitt got together with Hillary Klug (American violinist) with both dancing and playing the fiddle simultaneously. It is awesome to see.
I kind of feel this should be danced to. The poor audience is all stuck sitting down.
I thought exactly the same!
Stephen Wigmore every time I listen to this I want to dance, I feel sorry for the audience
Falgorn A I was in the audience. I was dancing in my seat. The entire concert.
But look, even the old people are wide awake & clapping 😊
It makes me happy to see the only “complaint” of this that the peeps can’t dance xD also I agree I love just bouncing around to this song,it’s too hard to just sit still
All of these girls are incredible in their own right, yet Máiréad (violinist) dancing and spinning as she plays just brings me pure joy. She thoroughly enjoys music and she really shines ❤️
Keeping up with all the member changes has got to be the hardest part of following this group.
sergel02 not if your a fan follower ; )!*
Just sit back and enjoy the amazing music.
I think it's dealing with the member changes
Agreed. I went to their show 05/12/19 in Calgary, Canada. Even the drummers all changed. That cool guy in the beginning is not there.
All you have to remember is that they're all gorgeous....
Wait a second. You’re telling me the violinist for Celtic Woman used to be one of the violinists in Lord of the Dance?!
It's a very small country.Everybody in little Ireland swaps jobs all the time.
Even better, she was one of the founding members of Lord of the dance!
@@margiebranagh8644 Mairead also helped found Celtic Woman if I'm not mistaken.
@@mikeylazovich3262 you're not mistaken 🙂
They have the spirit of the fairy folk in their homeland.
Níl Sé'n Lá"
Chuaigh mé isteach i dteach aréir
is d'iarr mé cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna.
Is é dúirt sí liom "Ní bhfaighidh tú deor.
Buail an bóthar is gabh abhaile
I came by a house last night
And told the woman I am staying
I said to her:
"The moon is bright and my fiddles tuned for playing"
Tell me that the night is long
Tell me that the moon is glowing
Fill my glass I'll sing a song
And will start the music flowing
Never mind the rising light
There's no sign of day or dawning
In my heart it's still the night
And we'll stay here till the morning
[Chorus:]
Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá,
níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin,
níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,
solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
It's not day nor yet awhile
I can see the starlight shining
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill,
solas ard atá sa ghealaigh.
Fill the glasses one more time
And never heed the empty bottle
Turn the water into wine
And turn the party up full throttle
Don't go out into the cold
Where the wind and rain are blowing
For the fire is flaming gold
And in here the music's flowing
[Chorus]
Tell me that the night is long
Tell me that the moon is gleaming
Fill my glass, I’ll sing a song
And we'll keep the music streaming
Until all the songs are sung
[Chorus 2x]
[Drum Solo]
[Chorus 2x]
I love watching Ray Fean, he always seems to really get into the music! Him and Mairead pretty much bring the life into the whole group, in my opinion. But the others are still great, and their voices are amazing! :)
Ray is definitely underappreciated
Is he the drummer?
@@shaunnewton3693 he totally is quite the character xd!!
ikr not many do that like he did. my lord the drummer CW has now seems motionless and not enjoying himself while you have ray doing his fancy drum tricks in his solos...
Hes currently the drummer in Come From Away in the West End.
Man..the work with violin was amazing...that's pretty tough as it is...and playing while moving so much is simply amazing!!
Yes! Mairead Nesbitt has been playing since she was 6 years old. She played in Michael Flatleys "Lord of the Dance" and "Feet of Flames" Irish dancing productions in the '90's. Currently, she is the last member of the original Celtic Woman that began in 2005. A lot of the fun of their performances is watching her play and dance around the stage.
If you watch Lindsey Stirling then you will see how hard it actually is!
@Lolatron While certainly true, you must keep in mind the Celtic (Irish in my case) aspect here...Mairead is truly amazing in her venue.
I'd tried to search for the video, but in one interview she talks about using a different bow hold when she is playing traditional style than when she is playing classical style.
i love her dress
Mairead Nesbitt is one that could make you smile on your worst day with her smile and the personalty she shows with her music.Beauty elegance,grace and talent
Love Ray Fean's opening solo, then Mairead comes out, and the two play off of each others energy. Funny when Chloe comes out and makes a sad face while throwing her arms up, while Ray and Mairead keep playing. So much energy in this performance, and they are having so much fun as well, I miss that part of CW.
I love how they always interact with the crowd or their crew
totally its part of the CW concert experience!! JUST AMAZING!!!!
I saw them last night at the start of their “Postcards” tour. Many new players but perhaps one of the best shows I have ever seen. I’ve seen hundreds of bands and every genre. This group was wonderful. Truly.
Just saw them this past Tuesday at the Altria in Richmond. Different lineup, but loved seeing Chloe, and the whole show was fabulous. So much energy, just pure joy on the stage.
I've always wanted to see them perform
The redhead reminds me of Merida from Brave! The girls are so good.
Cecily Angel Lent l
Isnt merida scottish?
@@lauryngillies7368 She just means her appearance.
@@pandoratonks4429 i know i was asking a question
@@lauryngillies7368 Ohhh, okay.
This is why music is an art. When you combine multiple random sounds together it’s just noise but when you combine sounds that compliment each other it is music.
3:56 Just to make every Mairead N. fan (including me) sad/happy, she is so adorable in this scene
These are my favorite dresses out of all the ones I've seen them wear.
Melody Fussell they are some of my favs
Looks like they finally found a good designer!
Mine too. They're so simple but beautiful too
I really love the fact that this video shows the talent of everyone and how Ray entertains the audience haha
This new arrangement of Nil Se'n La is awesome especially the acapella part !
I honestly never thought that the ladies(and Gentlemen) of Celtic Woman could top the previous specials but with this latest special they indeed have-thank you so much(and good to see you again,Chloe)!!
I also liked the fact (as an actor myself) that the producers/directors took advantage of the ladies' experience as actresses -it made for a much more exciting experience for the live audience as well as us watching at home!! (P.S.:for the lucky audience member in the crowd in the Notre Dame Ballcap,I envy you sir, for being the object of Lisa Lambe's attention!! That cap would be in a glass case if it were mine!!)
I can't quite figure out when ray left the band. Marmaduke was in my neck of the US for a bit with her husband. Not sure about presently though.
I miss Lisa Lambe so much in Celtic Woman :( But her solo projects are just amazing! Such a talented woman!! ☺️💕
she's a gem ❤
I am from Morocco and love the Irish music and dance as well, but when I see my 6 years old boy trying to repeat the chorus of this song, it warms my heart. got it visit Ireland once this pandemic is over inchallah.
Pls come!
Inshallah, I hope you. Irish girl here and my best friend is from Morocco. You are most welcome
The drummer always looks so proud of the girls as they sing and dance. Wholesome af
Ray Fean was one hell of a badass drummer!! he always interacted and played allong with them in the show especially Mairead!! the drummer they have now is not nearly as energetic and interactive with the girls...
At 2:00 to 3:50 ish,it’s probably the best feeling ever cause there’s just happy upbeat music,smiles and dancing and laughing for the solid 2 ish minutes,definitely something I want to do
Oh and clapping haha
I just love how the choir gets scolded. It's too cute!
Sarah Danielle when the girls came out I was like "oh no they're busted"😮
Their energy transcends screens and speakers. I can only imagine experiencing it live. Almost crying of emotions. Damn irish music..
proud of my irish heritage!!!!!! beautiful
As am I!
michelle kearsey me too.
Me too
yes yo should be. greeting from Bali island
I'm not a Mick but I like the music
Is Máiréad not the most amazing and beautiful violinist ever! I love Celtic Woman. I'm Irish, and absolutely love this!!!
The best thing about this group is that it showcases and celebrates the unique individuality of their artists. Every new member brings something refreshing to the band, which is pretty awesome. Having said that, though, this has been my favourite ensemble so far.
I've ben a Celtic Woman fan for a long time - perhaps because of my English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh family history. Celtic Woman always tugs at my heartstrings.
English isn’t Celtic it’s Anglo Saxon different type of people but I understand what u mean
For me Irish music and dance is in a completely different galaxy to anything else! I am from the UK!
I have watched their live performances for 7 years now (from television and internet) and I love how they play "the old classics" yet there is always something new. Yes, new singers but the songs change, the act playes, the players are the same but they know these through and trough and I love how they just have fun it. Not only Ray and Mairead, I always look the old ones in the background too.
Why is everyone talking about live singing? Who cares? I don't... I enjoy this performance... Live or not, these are the most awesome girls doing the most awesome perfomance JUST ENJOY, people!
You are totally right,even if they were synching doesn't matter ,it is their voices that they are synching.
Yes, you're completely right. I wished that more people thought like that ;)
I like live version with video:)
because effort.
the reason i went to look for the live was because i wanted to know if they can manage that level of harmonics without a machine. some people can but the level of harmonics between them is...well...perfect. if it was done without the aid of a machine it would be a sign of incredible talent. the synchronization of the harmonics of the different singers and the band is amazing if unaided, but if a machine is involved it requires a much lower amount of talent, and effort.
one of the most important things in art is the effort involved in its creation, it's why the original painting of the mona lisa is more valuable than a digital reproduction.
was another painting i had seen some time ago but can't seem to find, renaissance i believe a highly detailed painting of a courtyard and in one of the windows is a guy painting another painting. THAT takes skill, but a photograph of the same scene would not require much skill.
@@tuseroni6085 Here's a thought, why don't YOU do that choreo and sing it live yourself, ya know, be the change you want and all that shit. Renaissance paintings and stage performances are two very different things and comparing them is like comparing fruits and vegetables. Yea, they're plants (in this case, forms of art), but the flavors are vastly different. You're comparing orignals to mock pieces, something that has no comparison here on a performance piece. Now, this stage as a WHOLE is an art piece and you're about to be like "there's no effort" because you feel they "lip synched". LOOK AT THE WHOLE PERFORMANCE and try to fucking tell me there's a lack of effort again. NEWS FLASH: EVEN BROADWAY STARS LIPSYNCH! *gasp* shocker, i know. Oh and BTW, since you obviously don't know, professionally, for a performance to be considered "live", only 70% of vocals need to actually be live, which, it would seem, was done in this performance. But, right, "effort". 🤔🤔🤔 you should put "effort" into some schooling, or working and make something of yourself instead of bitching about people who already have.
My favorite thing ever is the guy at 6:10 who's really getting into it. I love it ❤
What guy?
Wait now i see the guy from some reason i click it makes me go to 6:15 but it wouldnt matter any way lads its actually 6:08
I love Ray's solo also when Mairead shows up it's amazing how well the music goes together
I am half Irish and this song has been an absolute classic with Celtic Woman. I love the fiddle in this song. And my most favorite part of the whole song is the small gradual swell with the gorgeous harmonies at 4:50-5:10. Beautiful.
I had no intention of watching this after enjoying the first 2 minutes...
...and, yet, here I am at the end of the 7:55. Absolutely brilliant.
All these women are beautiful, but...If they were as beautiful as the music they make together, they would be nothing less than magical Elves! Their voices and the music moves my very soul!
My God the dude has rythm! :D
I just Love him !
Rhythm and looks. ;)
He’s pretty fly for a white guy! Lol
That’s the Irish for ya
There’s a reason Ireland is the birthplace of fairy tales. It’s music trasports you to another world of magic & fantasy❤️❤️❤️
I didn't think that anything could ever come close to Generation 1 and Generation 2 Celtic Woman but this just did. Amazing, simply amazing!
I wish Lindsey Stirling and Mairaed (probably butchered her name) would do a colab
That would be a beautiful collaboration! :o
muselessmusician they totally should!!!
YEEEEESSSS!!!!!
I strongly Agree!
this should happen asap
i just love this duel between these 2!! Ray and Mairead always connected and teased eachother back and forth in their shows its so fun watching them!!
this is the moment when I hate being a broke college student; no money for concert tickets
I feel ya
It's worse when the closest upcoming show to you is about 2000 miles over sea and are super broke
I'm a "gainfully employed adult" and I can't afford them either.
TH-cam
Its okay bud. You could be a broke college student during a pandemic with no concerts to con your way int
I like this arrangement, especially Ray's solo, but I really love the hug-me dresses in the original "Songs From the Heart" version. Thank whatever gods there be for digital recording.
Oops, I hadn't yet seen the "Teir Abhaile Riu" from this concert, where they wore the original Nil Sen La dresses. This is the only CW concert that has two ceili songs.
This was Celtic woman dream team!
We saw the new group in April 2024 and while they were good, i agree this combination was the deeam team.
I've never seen portly male dancers before. I do love the sound of the Gaelic. It has a music to it without instruments
They make Gaelic sound great
Our Irish language is called Gaeilge pronounced Gale-Geh
I'm Scottish and I love these songs!
Alix Jamieson they sing Scottish songs as well.
My God this concert must have been a blast to see in person
I love this violinist so much, she literally inspired me to start playing again she’s honestly amazing 😍
the first four minutes were heaven for me. the rest, well, is there such a thing as upgraded heaven?
I love how they are having a dance party before it starts. great song!
I could listen to Celtic Woman all day, all year or for a lifetime I will never get tired of them. Keep up the good work ladies as well as your staff. Applause from Minnesota.
I love mairead she’s so funny I love when she slap the main drummer even though she was playing along as well ❤😂❤
Lisa Lambe looks like Merida from Brave.
I thought the same thing! o.o
It's the hair. Gotta love that red hair.
khfan4life365 she irish😁 merida is also irish😀
Merida is actually Scottish.........
[Code Blue] Yt Moonstream no she’s Scottish lmao easy mistake for someone who doesn’t know Scotland or Ireland that well xox
Ray Fean. God, that drummer is amazing!
I nearly cried, ngl. Midway, it just hit me that this is humanity. This is our best. Hundreds of years of oppression, and they write the most enjoyable song you can imagine just to party, because they can't be held down.
I do love the ladies who are performing now, especially Lisa Lambe(love her!) and Susan, but I DO miss the originals! This is one of my favorite songs.....heck, they are ALL my fav songs! It's also so cool to see the grown up Chloe! She is so beautiful and has finally come out her shyness! And Mariead is amazing as always!
When the violin started to play it reminded me King Arthur's soundtrack. I love the movie because of it. ❤ This song is so good and the performance only makes it even more perfect.
The guy in the blue shirt… 1:12 2:31 2:56 3:16 6:07 7:09 was having the time of his life! He really made my day lol
Mairead Nesbitt has my heart from the first time I laid eyes on her ♥️💯. Her violin is as beautiful as her.
Go Ray! I love the part where he looks up at the drum stick and starts "playing" the drums in the air! So cute!
So, I'm confused here. I thought Chloe left Celtic Woman middle of last year but she's on this DVD. Don't get me wrong, I HOPE she comes back soon but I was curious if she just came back to do the DVD?
Stephanie Eisenstaedt This was a recording of the South Bend, Indiana performance in last year's (2013) "Emerald Isle" tour. Chloe didn't leave Celtic Woman until after the tour ended, so she is in this performance. She wasn't in the Christmas concert and is not touring with Celtic Woman right now. There is no indication that she will be back in the lineup anytime soon, although I suppose that could change.
Thank you!
Foot tapped the whole way through this! Much love from England....I enjoyed every second!
Love from India, this is now on my bucket list. Please visit San Fransisco.
You aren't alone ...
Mairead is unreal. We love Celtic women. They are all fantastic as they share Irish culture throughout the world .
Oh Lord.. they're all beutiful, but the violinist is beyond beutiful... she's an angel and more
I absolutely love the thing Irish..and maybe Scottish people do in songs....their shrieking and shouting and their chirping sounds! My favorite of the new ones is the sassy Red-Head with a River Song approved Tangle. I don't know who she is...or how long she's been/has been, with the group but she is by far my favorite~ Her role in Teir Abhaile Riu was hilarious!
God, Ray Fean is such a rock star.
+Ivene nesbitt I'm wondering what that thing between Ray and Mairead was. sounds like a musical duel that led into Nil Sen la. That swat to the head of one of the guys in the osono chorus by Lisa Lambe was interesting.
+Ivene nesbitt Close, when he was 12 he was in a "rockabilly" band in Ireland...
+drmayeda1 From a performance standpoint it was carefully planned for comedy and to give the girls a chance to change dresses maybe (I don't know the song order, so couldn't say for sure) but beautifully done and great to watch
meirasanya
You are exactly right, especially since this was the only song sung wearing these dresses. Most of the time the "girls" change while Mairead plays solo violin pieces...
I’v seen them at MORRIS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER UNBELIEVABLE CONCERT I HAVE EVER SEEN SIMPLY UNREAL JUST DOES’NT STOP I WILL REMEMBER IT FOREVER
If you are of European descent, this music is in your DNA. Your body is remembering. It's absolutely beautiful. We should all remember where we come from and be very, very proud of our amazing culture.
Beautiful. All the best from Your greatest fan from Poland.
That moment when you were planning to just leave the song playing in another tab while you did something else, but instead you're watching the whole video... multiple times.
It’s it me or is the violinist just amazing! Like this whole thing tells a story with words and her words are the strings. If that makes any sense
I saw Lord of the Dance in my city ages ago which was amazing but this one, wow, I just love it! Oh yes!
Hey I live in Indiana. Didn't know anyone in this state liked performances like this
They're Irish and were touring in USA. Trust me, only Ireland could have a group like this.
PBS got a lot of exposure for them here in the US. I took my wife to see them in Louisville 6-7 years ago; they were packing houses back then. We actually got to meet Chloe backstage in Ashland, KY a couple of weeks ago.
Hey, J3N93W, I was there ,too. I was the guy in the blue coat who had meet Chloe in Cincinnati in Dec. Isn't she one of the sweetest people you would ever want to meet? A beautiful and talented Irish lassie, indeed.
She's wonderful, possibly one of the most charming celebrities I've ever met. I had gotten my wife tickets to see her at this Ashland show, and her dad died unexpectedly 2 days before the show. So meeting Chloe was a definite high point in an otherwise terrible week. It's nice that some performers are still accessible to their fans, I know we won't soon forget it.
For me it's a tossup between her and Lisa Lambe. I met Lisa (and her hubby Simon Morgan) in Nashville, TN in Aug. 2015 at a place called The Sutler Saloon. She was promoting her fist solo album since leaving the group the year before. Believe me, she is also sweet and loving and loves to hug people.
The music is something else and performance second to none.
I love Lisa Lambe's red crazy curly hair and mairead is so adorable!!!!
I am so in love with Lisa! My heart flips and flops, jump and races, and a host of things its never done before ! If i ever got to meet her, i would pass out! Alas it shall never happen and my heart is sad!!
I have never seen anything thats so listenable and watchable than Celtic Women
Its magical and so full of Irish soul.
Wow!
I've been missing something as amazing and breathtaking as this my whole life.
I am pleased I've found such good music!
İ live in Turkey but i love celtic (scottish) songs and this song.
This is not Scottish song it Irish song
I've watched this at least 15 times....there are soulful witches in Earth and I've witnessed the beauty
日本人です。
青いドレスの金髪の方が終始、イキイキと楽器を弾いていらっしゃるのを見て、心が温かくなりました☺️皆さんの歌声に癒されます💕
@ 0:19 This guy is one of my absolute favorite drummers.
I saw this performed live and I felt we (the audience) should've had some drinks and been partying
When I’m grounding I definitely have them playing☺️ Celtic woman
I just love that these girls aren't embarrassed to just let loose and have fun it gives the song so much more vibrance and life
Really wish Mairead and Ray recorded the beginning. Its so addicting
This is the first concert DVD where the girls are OBVIOUSLY live and there's no room for debate.
The first part is live indeed, but at a certain point I'm pretty sure it's not. The girls are exceptional, but no one can dance like that and still sound flawless like the studio version, not even the best trained singer.
***** Actually, The girls are not always live, and on the DVDs the audio is always dubbed to get rid of any flaws (hard breathing, missed notes), or difficulty with the audio. In the case of a DVD, the live audience may very well be hearing the girls live, but the home audience is more than likely hearing either completely dubbed audio, or a mixture of the two.
When performing live, the girls do a combination of lip synching and singing live. For instance: The fans sitting in the first few rows are hearing the girls' projected, raw voices. Straight up, live vocals. But, as we get further out into the crowd, we hear not only live audio, but also pre-recorded tracks, or studio audio. This sort of helps the girls voices to "blend".
Also, some songs are live, and others are not, and parts of songs are live while the whole thing is not.
For example: Susan may sing Caledonia live, but she may sing The Voice with playback due to its vocal difficulty and the fact that she's probably tired as hell. (The Voice is a very difficult song). Also, she may start out singing The Voice live, but end up using playback toward the middle of the song.
Mairead's ALWAYS playing her violin, but the sound of the violin is being amplified and played through speakers further out into the audience.
These girls are all extremely well trained vocalists, but think about it. They run a pretty damn vigorous tour schedule which takes a toll on their voices. Therefore, lip synching at certain points is necessary.
Pernell Parker
I mostly agree, although I'm not sure that they would mix live and recorded in a live event. Speaking as a live engineer who has been mixing since the age of 7; mixing a recorded track and a live track is an absolute nightmare, which almost never turns out the way you expect it to. I have worked events where we have a recorded vocal mix on a separate channel from the live mix, but it is only used for backup (singer starts loosing their voice, mic goes dead, etc.). I don't claim to be as good as the celtic woman engineers, but I am pretty darn sure they don't mix recorded and live.
I am pretty sure the girls are good enough to pull those vocals... even on the local level that I work, I've run into a few vocalists that can pull off keeping a steady vocal with a lot of movement. I just finished a youth theater gig where one of the girls was flipped into the air while singing, and if you weren't looking for it, you wouldn't notice any variance in her vocal... speaking as the engineer, it was 100% live... if a local kid can do that, I can only imagine what these world famous musicians can do. That being said, most of their previous albums I believe were studio recordings synced with live video (even though I think they were just as good live as in the recording). The reason I am so sure of this is the mics. They are using wireless mics, but the recordings don't sound like they used wireless mics (analog systems tend to have excess noise, and digital systems sound compressed). Their previous videos didn't have excess noise, and they didn't sound compressed, leaving me to believe they were recorded with wired mics. This video I could believe is live, since the vocals do sound compressed at times. It is also possible that they used mostly live, and edited in studio recordings during rough patches like Pernell Parker suggested.
Anyway... believe me or don't... I'm not trying to subtract from the singers any... more or less saying "who cares?!". No matter if it's recorded in a studio or live, it's great music, and I look forward to their next album.
How about that: my second comment has been deleted. Looks like someone is afraid of the truth.

Who said it was you who deleted my comment? :)
Secondly, in my comment there was a video from the SFTH tour which PROVES the lyp sinc on tour - at least for some of the songs, not all of them of course.
As for the dvds, I'm sure they are live recorded. BUT, when they are released, it's crystal clear that we don't hear the same performance. Is it clearly replaced, in many segments, by the studio recording. For instance, in this video the first part without music is totally live. Then, what we hear is the studio version. I mean, come on, try to compare them and use your ears.
Now let's see if this comment wil be deleted too :)
the man in the striped shirt is living his best life and im here for it
Mairead’s talent and skill is phenomenal and she’s one of the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen
I love being a part of such a colorful and happy people that is the Irish, Gaelic is such a beautiful yet primal language and our music is as you see here the lifeblood of the Irish people and it's easy to see that.
Are u really irish?
Hmm. You said Gaelic. That gives you away
From Google:
"The term “Gaelic”, as a language, applies only to the language of Scotland. If you're not in Ireland, it is permissible to refer to the language as Irish Gaelic to differentiate it from Scottish Gaelic, but when you're in the Emerald Isle, simply refer to the language as either Irish or its native name, Gaeilge."
Tl;dr, OP is a dirty liar that is either not Irish or very uneducated
Band/dancers: *partying with the audience*
Vocalists: exCUSE me? All of you out the spotlight now, I mean it shoo!
That's literally what the first 3 minutes were
@Vanessa Stoffel That's the vibe I got as well

There’s just something eclectic about meriad I think that’s her name. The little violin player. She plays dances and always has the most beautiful smile. Fav part of this song is when she goes over to dance with the blonde.
I adore the drummer 😍They don"t mention the band members names They enhance the voices of the singers. I enjoy looking at the expressions of audiences faces. They are mesmerized by the music and the beauty of the women.
