New Celtic Woman special

[Geoff Withnell]

Just finished listening to a new Celtic Woman special on PBS. They have often had an Irish piper, but this show has a number of Scottish pipers, in various kilts. I am afraid I could not identify which tartans. Very nicely done however. The Celtic Woman group is Irish. Nice to see a little pan-Celtic solidarity (says the American of Welsh, Irish, Scottish and even a trace of Cornwall heritage)

My wife and I like the Celtic Women, she is scanning the channels as I type to try to find if the program will be aired again.

If it is begging week, you will see it often.

We just saw Celtic Woman a few weeks ago in Bakersfield. Nice show.

I agree it's good to see some cooperation among celts—we don't have a history of doing that. However, in Spokane things are different. Celtic Music Spokane (an organization that I started while I was president of the St Andrew's Society) has both Irish and Scottish groups who perform at the Bing Theater. I''m very proud of this group and how they have grown into the primer music sponsoring group for the whole Celtic community here.

I keep waiting for that little one with the fiddle to poke somebody's eye out with the end of the bow while she's dancing around.

We watched a little bit of the new show last night, Songs from the Heart. Is it me or are the vocals in this show recorded. They sound so studio-like. The whole thought of it kind of spoiled the moment and 30 minutes in, we were watching something else.

It's definitely not prerecorded. At least not at their live shows (and I'm very confident not on what they show on PBS).

The reason I think it's prerecorded is that there is no wind noise, no mic-moving-against-something noise, and no fluctuation in the voice as the singers dance and move.
Maybe it's not prerecorded. If that's the case, then they're far more talented than I thought!

That little one is dangerous! Several times during the live show, I was fearful for the other musicians on stage. She nearly took out the uilleann piper's head off a few times. She's like an insane muppet or something.
