"Celtic Woman"
I just about 7 minutes of a thing on PBS called "Celtic Woman." What the hell is this?

Re: "Celtic Woman"
OMG, seriously. What?
Re: "Celtic Woman"
Basically, Celtic Woman is comprised of an ever-changing line-up of female vocalists, and sometimes female instrumentalists, too, who in turn are backed up by instrumental orchestration.
For instance, Celtic Woman "covered" one of Enya's well known tunes, Orinoco Flow.

Loved and thought himself beloved,

We feel your pain, Dale.
My description of the genre I attempt to play now runs toward "umm, kind of, well, it's not from here" for fear that the response will be the dreaded "Oh! Wow! I LUUUVE Celtic Woman!"
I used to loathe "Oh! Wow! I luuuve river dancing!" The Celtic Woman thing is worse. Far, far worse.

Re: "Celtic Woman"
To me, Celtic Woman is similar to a beauty pageant talent show.
Both cause reflux. Best to be avoided.

Every time I turn around, I wonder where I've been.
Time to stop turning round, I guess.

Re: "Celtic Woman"
It is a formula band/act, ala the American "boy bands" or the even earlier Menudo. Fill set slots with good looking young people, have a theme, go on tour, sell lots of tickets.
To my mind there is nothing wrong with it. It gets the music out there. Some people like it. Others don't. I don't understand why anyone would get worked up over it. Especially considering the real problems going on in the world.

Luckily, a small palette of recurring design motifs make it easy to identify this contagion in the marketplace, and good music hygiene will generally suffice to prevent a serious outbreak. The chief menace this virus poses is by the infiltration and infection of the Christmas and birthday gift choices of well-meaning but clueless relatives.
And now there was no doubt that the trees were really moving - moving in and out through one another as if in a complicated country dance. ('And I suppose,' thought Lucy, 'when trees dance, it must be a very, very country dance indeed.')

This is Lawrence Welk on Lucky Charms. Gag me with a shamrock, indeed. Major gagging.

Re: "Celtic Woman"
Talented Dublin Piper and fellow Chiff member, Tommy Martin, will be their featured piper for the U.S. tour. Sure, it may not be a lot of folks cup of tea, but it is a good paying gig and so very few folk get the opportunity to make a fairly decent wage gigging these days.
All the very best Tommy, congrats!
