 | | October, 2008, Volume 13 | Hello to everyone
Europe treated the Celtic Woman ladies very kindly this Fall, with standing ovations and sell-out shows all across the board. We want to thank all our fans for showing such strong support for our show. The girls all had an amazing time and throroughly enjoyed every last performance. And for those of you who didn't get a chance to experience the show, not to worry, we will be back soon with an even greater show just for you!
We've gotten some fantastic feedback and fanmail from you all, and just thought it would be great to share some of your lovely comments with the rest of the Celtic Woman fans:
Last Saturday I saw Celtic Woman in concert for the first time at Philipshalle Dusseldorf.
Thank you so much for this wonderful evening, I don't know how many times I had tears in my eyes! In my life I have visited more than 150 concerts but the voices of Celtic Woman are the best I've ever heard on stage. I hope that they will return soon! –Christian Niestrath, Germany
I went to your show in Salzburg yesterday with my wife and would like to say THANK YOU! What you do is really great.With your music and especially your voices you touched not only our hearts but our souls too! -Sabine and Manfred, Germany
In the meantime, it looks like magic is in the air…
| New pictures from performance at Japan's 21st JAL Kyoto Otobutai 2008
Check out some absolutely captivating pictures of the girls performing at the premier music event, which was held in September. Lynn, Chloe, Máiréad, Alex and Órla were honoured to have the opportunity to perform at the majestic Byodo-in Temple, also one of UNESCO's World Heritage sites. Click here for slideshow
| Can you spot the difference?
Our very own Tinkerbell, Máiréad, was in LA for the premiere of Disney's new animated film after lending her musical talent to the soundtrack.
Composer Joel McNeely was searching for a unifying component for the film's score when he saw Máiréad's performance on a PBS special. He immediately knew her captivating combination of expressive Celtic style and full-bodied classical sound would provide the perfect complement to his rich score. McNeely composed music specifically to fit Máiréad's distinctive style, and collaborated with the soloist to further polish the music for Celtic authenticity. The result is an old world, ethereal overtone filled with heartfelt emotion and color, which is particularly evident in Máiréad's inspired, lyrical solo performances throughout Tinker Bell.
What Máiréad has to say:
"I am so honoured to have played on the beautiful Joel McNeely score of Tinker Bell. I enjoyed every second of it and I know everyone who sees and hears the movie will be absolutely enchanted! Music is the heart and soul of a film in telling the story from an emotional sense and I think people know instantly when someone is sad or happy or excited from the music – it's so important. I had a great time doing it. There are lots of different styles to play -- it's lyrical, it's fun and there are some real 'stormers' of tracks. So it fits my style well."
