Reminds me a little of Mary O'Hara but she is definitely her own person.

Great.

Singer and harpist from Celtic Woman, Orla has one of the most beautiful and 'haunting' voices you will ever hear. Hard to describe how popular she is in Ireland, let's just say 'a household name' comes close. Check her out at CELTICWOMAN.COM.

I guess you don't get it, AWG. Mudcat is a website mostly for people who make music. We're fans, too, but in moderation.

You could talk about all the Celtic Woman performers in the ongoing Celtic Woman thread, and that would be fine. To start a thread about one favorite performer like Lisa Kelly would be a bit overboard, but would be reasonably acceptable. Trouble is, some wag would get really obnoxious and make fun of you by starting separate threads in rapid succession for each and every performer in the group.


But you beat them to the punch.

Meav, probably the best pure soprano on earth. Now a member of Celtic Woman, and spreading her talent and beauty around the world. If you heard her, you might think you died and were listening to an Angel in Heaven. Check her out at CELTICWOMAN.COM.

The youngest member of Celtic Woman, at only 17 years old. Performing since the age of 6, first album at 12, practically a household name in Ireland. The grace and maturity of a woman much older, and a voice you won't believe until you hear it. Check her out at CELTICWOMAN.COM.

A thread for those just 'itching' to talk about Celtic Woman's fiddler, the amazingly talented and equally beautiful Mairead Nesbitt. All Ireland fiddle champion, a list of accolades a mile long, and now touring the Country with Celtic Woman. Check her out at CELTICWOMAN.COM.

Playboy bunny? C'mon Joe. Lisa is a talented artist, not a Hugh Hefner creation. She should be an inspiration to you so that you want to make more music for yourself.

When I hear a voice like that, I know that there's something to aspire to.

Don't get me wrong - I enjoyed the first PBS video and bought the first Celtic Woman CD, and I went out and bought the second DVD as soon as it came out - but I hate myself (and I hate PBS) for buying into such crass commercialism...

See what I mean ?? By the way Joe, I see potential in your 'bunnies' idea. Hmmm...

Well, I guess there's no doubt that Lisa Kelly is pretty and that she has a beautiful voice, and that she's very marketable. I see from her Website that she was a vocalist for Riverdance before joining the Celtic Woman ensemble. So, she is a very good example of the marketing of so-called "Irish" music. Why should we bother making music ourselves, when we can have Playboy bunnies doing it for us?

Besides all that, I can see that she needs somebody with spelling ability to fix up her Website.

But yes, it IS enjoyable to listen to her.

Hey Frank, nice to hear from someone 'positive'. It's probably only a matter of time before the 'others' get here. Anyhow, check out the link above (celticwoman.com), lots of info about Lisa. Very famous and 'decorated' in Ireland, as well as (maybe on a smaller scale for now) here in Canada and the USA .

I, too, am a Lisa Kelly fan. She is a versatile singer, not only in the Irish tradition, but has done shows such as playing Laurie in Oklahoma. She is accomplished on a number of instruments as many of the CW women are. I think she sets a nice contrast to the other talented ladies. Her background is different so I can't really compare her to the others.

But when I first heard her, she blew me away.

This is the first thread I have started, so I had to come up with a topic worthy of such an event. Right away, it came to me...Let't talk about Lisa Kelly, the 'lead singer' of Celtic Woman. Probably the most beautiful, talented woman in music, bar none. Even though, the other women in CW are quite beautiful and talented in their own right, Lisa Kelly wins in a photo finish. For more info, check out celticwoman.com.

I'm consolidating all the threads about the individual Celtic Woman performers into this one. Pertinent comments from the other threads will be moved here, and some messages will be deleted. I will allow this thread only.
