Quoted: Great thread! Roo, I know what you mean about Dolories O'Riordan - beautiful voice!  I'm a big fan of Andrea Corr as well, and her sisters, Sharon and Caroline.   I love Irish music - everything from traditional to punk.   Gotta love Irish women!

I used to have this recurring dream where I was locked in a cabin with Dolores O' Riordan and The Corrs. But now that I am getting older, it's just Dolores.

Quoted: Have any of you seen the show on Georgia Public Broadcasting called "Celtic Woman"? That's some good music from some FINE women! I normally don't watch that sort of thing but I've watched the same show 3 times now!

da Girlies are HOT!

Wow!
I thought that I was the only gun lover in the world that loved the Celtic Woman shows.
I have the first show on dvd and cd. Haven't gotten the new show on dvd YET. Just today I recieved my tickets in the mail for the Charlotte N.C. "Celtic Woman" show in March.
Lisa Kelly is my favorite of the group. Especially when she sings "Send me a song" and "May it be". I think Lisa is one of the most beautiful women in the world. Lisa'a smile and voice absolutely makes my legs weak.
The fiddle player Mairead also appears in Michael Flatley's "Feet of Flames" which is an awesome display of Irish dance and music.
Clannad's lead singer is Maire Brennan (pronounced Moya) She's Enya's older sister.
If you want to check out someone else, check out Joanna Hogg. She has a solo album but her main gig is the lead singer for a group called Iona. I have all of Iona's albums.Thev'e been around for about 15 years
Here's a couple of links to some Iona videos

Enjoy and keep this thread going
Irish Chicks Rule!

It was “The Last Rose of Summer”, with Hayley Westenra (who apparently is new to the group and is from New Zealand). She strolled out by herself - looking like a skinny, bashful schoolgirl with wet hair. I thought to myself:  “This is going to be terrible!”   She stated to sing. I melted into a puddle on the floor!   Got it on tape now.  I really need to transfer it to DVD before I wear out the tape. The two drummers in the show appear to be bikers!

Seriously....you should check out her work. Two albums so far....Pure and Odyssey. Oddly enough caught an ad for her on Fox News Channel two years ago and just had to order Pure. My dear Lord but can she sing! Beautiful, beautiful voice, and she works through a lot of different arrangements over the course of each album. So far 'Across the Universe of Time' from Pure and 'Prayer' from Odyssey are vying for my favorite song.

True story - I had tickets to see her up in NYC a while back, which was a big thing because she's done maybe four events stateside. A week after I purchased them, my best friend (who didn't know about the event) finalized the plans for his wedding, and the rehearsal was planned for that very evening, and I couldn't skip out because I was the best man! I'm still a bit miffed about missing it......

You guys are all a bunch of dorks. I can just see you guys driving around in your cars listening to celtic woman songs..

Yes because appreciating somebody that knows how to use their voice as an instrument as opposed to the crap that passes for music these days is dumb right.

For your penance you must post 4 pics of Dolores O'Riordan in this thread, nice pics.

Marie Brennen and her sister Enya are my favs.

Quoted: There is no end to the praises of Irish women.

No end to their detrements either.

This Dub married a Californian. My Best Man's from Limerick. He's said he's given up on Irish lasses and is targetting Americans as well. For starters, before going up to a good-looking Irish girl, you need to have written permission from the Pope.

NTM

Permission from the Pope is not a problem. I'm Catholic (kinda)
Look to the right of the Pope, thats me.
I am trying to import an Irish girl, or I will go get one.
Dated a few when I lived overseas, best ever.

OK, for the record.....

I think red haired Irish Lass's are Very hot!
I do enjoy Irish/Celtic music..being Irish/Scottish.
I do get goosebumps when the fifes, pipes, and drums march past or are played.
I do think that the women/girls in "The Celtic Women" have great voices.


BUT!............

The amount of "Processing" being done to the voices, and to a lesser degree the music, in that show, just makes it imposable for me to listen to. It actually ruins the beauty of the voices for me....AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!

Single Malt or Blend?
Most Scots I know would pop you if you called them "Scotch."
Ever been to Ireland or Scotland? Because you live in AMERICA. And placing her third on your list behind countries your ancestors left (probably to avoid English oppression) is just wrong, IMHO.

They would, but they're probably not retards and would know what I'm talking about... The term Scotch-Irish is an Americanism, used by historians to separate the Irish Presbyterian migration from the later Irish Catholic migration of the 19th century but it was first used back in 1573. This unusual term refers to those Presbyterian Scots who settled in Ulster (modern-day Northern Ireland) during the seventeenth century. From these 200,000 original settlers, many are still in Ulster but up to 2 million of their descendants eventually reached North America. Today they number an estimated 27.2 million. The terms "Ulster -Scot" or Ulster Irish" do not seem to fill the need as well as Scotch Irish. Ever been to Ireland or Scotland? Because you live in AMERICA. And placing her third on your list behind countries your ancestors left (probably to avoid English oppression) is just wrong, IMHO.

"We took with us our religion and our schools, and those in Pennsylvania extended their settlements across the mountains and down the valley into Maryland and Virginia. When we gained a foothold, by our thrift, energy, enterprise and when we made our settlements important, we exercised influence in colonial affairs. When this point was gained we brought into public life an element directly antagonistic to the established order of things, and no one can deny that we were instrumental in bringing about the War for Independence, which we loyally supported.

We lived, increased, spread out over the south and west, and carried into Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas our democratic principles of human equality, of the responsibility of the governor to the governed, and of the supremacy of conscience over all established forms of thought, government, or worship. The American West was romantic only to people who write and read about it. There was nothing gentle about small log cabins with no windows, women dying of the black vomit of milk sickness, or a million passenger pigeons devouring one's hard-planted crops. Somehow we made it to Dixie. We liked to drink and brawl. We liked to fight and loved politics, which explains a long list of Scotch-Irish soldiers and politicians such as John C. Calhoun, Jeff Davis, Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, "Stonewall" Jackson, William McKinley, and Ulysses Grant, 27 in America, and others in Canada and Australia in later generations."

I am Scotch Irish/Irish/Scottish/and a little bit of English/Indian. I have fair skin and red tinged brown hair. I am a decendent of the Gael and Celts of the British Isles.

I can not change my race and therefore, it is what defines me first. I am proud of the heritage of my people and take a great interest in learning about their history and the history of my ancestors.

I am a Texan before an American. America is a country of United States, one of those being the state my family has lived in for generations. I am a propenent for state's rights and will defend Texas til the end be damned to the rest of the US if need be.

In Texas I am Scotch-Irish.
In America I am Texan.
In the world I am American.

I hang a US, Texas, CSA, Ireland and Scotland flag in my house. All are my heritage and all I am very proud of.

Do you see the irony here?
Also...to dispel ANOTHER fallacy...Celts are not all ruddy complexioned. That is also an Americanized idea. "Black Celts" are the norm...meaning dark skinned and haired.
The reason Scots were thought to be "red-shanked" was because they wore the feile mor (great plaid) and often nothing on their legs which would get abused traversing the harsh land.
I'm not trying to give to a hard time here, T-M. I spent seven years with a Scots living history organization. I know more about Alba's history than I do about my Italian/Irish/Armenian heritage. But I still feel my priority is to my country NOT my ancestry. YMMV

Quoted: While drinking many beers in Palma, Mallorca I met a sexy redhead Irish chick I used this line on her... "You speak pretty good English for an Irish chick." Wasn't until the next day when I sobered up did I realize why she found it so funny. Oh well, it worked out fine in the end.

[hijack]
Ever been to "Maggies" there? A little bar run by two women, one English, one Irish.
Got in a "drinking contest" there in 1977 with a hot Swedish girl. We were drinking shots of tequela. Halfway into the "competition" I was licking the salt off her "breasts" and we had a little "side bet" IYKWIM.
I "won," she passed out. I passed out shortly after her. Her girlfriends took her back to their hotel and my shipmates took me back to the ship. Damn it! I never did get to collect on that bet. Ah! Palma.........[hijack]

I will firebomb his car too.

Just to be clear it isnt me that hates Texas and the Irish.

Signal processing to be more exact. Echo, gate, reverb, filter. I think, for songs such as Orinoco Flow, they were trying to replicate the heavy echoes as in the Enya recording.

Their version of Oranoco Flow is superior to that of Enya's.

"Sail away, sail away, sail away."

Is that the song?

Also, I didn't realize Enya sang "Yoko Ono Flow". +

I just bought tickets this evening for their Feb 22nd show in Roanoke. Should be great...

I don't hate Texas and I don't hate the Irish. allthought My being Orange we have had are differances.

Yes, I watched more than a few times. Good music. They air it pretty often too.

Add Chorus/delay to your list and I'd say you were right in the ballpark.

It's so grating to my ears, that i just can not listen to the show/music at all.

Too many years behind recording consoles I guess.

I saw them live in Chicago earlier this year or last fall (i forget which). Simply amazing. Voices of angels.
