But while I work, I am listening to Celtic Thunder sing those wonderful songs from Ireland. I can hardly sit still when they sing those lively ones. Back in December, I went to see Paul Byrom who was one of those singers a few years back. He has the most beautiful tenor voice. I had my picture made with him.
Hear Paul sing She in this video:

Gay, my sister, and I are going to see him again in a few weeks. He will be back in the Atlanta area. He is not only a great singer, but an excellent showman with a sense of humor. His Irish accent is fun.
There is an Irish singer in Savannah that we go to see when we are there. His name is Harry O'Donoghue and he sings at Barry's Pub.
He also leads tours to Ireland. He is very enjoyable. If you get a chance and you like Irish music, I think you should go to see him.

I listened to your clip – he has a wonderful voice. Several years ago I found a Celtic record company in the US that had their CDs on special, very often. I must have purchased more than 30 or so from a variety of styles, including Spanish and French Celtic music. I looked just now and they have changed their site but they still have Celtic music and articles, here is the link: http://www.greenlinnet.com/index.php. It is called “Green Linnet” – have you heard of them? I used to listen to all their music, but I just went there and I could not figure out how to listen to their new CDs anymore.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vagabonde. I will go to this link for Green Linnet and check it out. Since you are in Marietta, you are not far from Kennesaw College where Paul Byrom will perform.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a fascinating person with so many interests.
Thank you for including the video in your post. I never heard of this particular tenor, and I enjoyed listening to him. I'm glad you have more access to Irish music in your area.
