Joe Offer in a corset and Jed marum peeing in someone's Cheerios.
How did I miss this thread?
The title kept me out. Sorry - I can't watch them. I can listen but I just can't watch the painfully staged choreography and dismal "acting".
But I would love to see Joe in a corset - maybe he can replace Big Mick as man of the hour at the next getaway????

Uh oh it looks like people have stopped talking about the Celtic Woman women.

This needs to change, there is so much to discuss.

Wikipedia says the group began in 2004 and has had 14 different members - 4 or 5 at a time, I think. The last of the original members, violinist Máiréad Nesbitt, left in 2016.
I think there's no doubt that the various members of Celtic Woman have all been excellent musicians. It's the heavy marketing and the "sexing up" of the performers that I object to. Part of me enjoys the wonders that corsets and underwire brassieres and makeup and reverb can do, but then I hate myself for it.

I have a funny (sorta) story about Celtic Women that I usually share when I sing one song in particular at festivals. A few years ago I was struggling to come up with a list of songs to prepare for the annual Fleadh Cheoil here in the states. It was a bucket list item of mine to compete and win it (still working on the second part of that!) so I decided at age 50 something I wasn't getting any younger and made it happen. I spent at least 4 months prior to the competition trying to find acceptable songs in the Trad genre and MudCat was a huge help, btw. Anyway, about two weeks before the event I finally was able to talk to someone about what was acceptable and what wasn't. The actual quote was "generally, if it's been done by Celtic Woman then don't use it." All six items of my song list, 2 lively and 4 slow, got scrapped!!! I learned that it is impossible to find a song that they haven't done after 14 years of performing!! I went to the competition with a very weak set of songs and naturally the one that I had only learned the week before was the one I had to sing. Thanks a lot, ladies! :-)

Chill ? Haha I was joking, of course I remember you being a serious sort of fellow. Anyhoo I actually haven't listened to anything of theirs for over 6 or 7 years but used to be a big fan as you might recall, some here used the word shill, haha, but now the magic is gone sorry to say, too many changes to the lineup. Sad to hear you weren't able to fulfill your dream of singing their music at the festival, stupid organizers just don't know great music when they hear it.
Oh well, we have One Direction now, (and Justin Bieber) so many changes on the music front since I was last here, maybe you could do some of their stuff ? just kidding. Take 'er easy Joe Joe.
