Listening to tight knit harmonies is something that I find incredibly relaxing when I’m at home listening to recordings, but in a live setting it’s absolutely electric and full of excitement. When I saw Celtic Thunder, the five piece male vocal group, perform, they were supported by a full strings orchestra, which made the while sound even more exciting and epic.
With twelve studio albums and a bunch of awards under their belt, I had no idea how they were going to be able to pick a set list to perform at their show. However, they played a wonderful selection of their tracks from over the years, from solo pieces with subtle backing vocals, to full ensemble pieces in five part harmony. Their dramatic lighting and use of choreography transported us in the audience into an entirely new world, and it was an experience that you could never get from simply listening to their recordings.
When they played Heartland, they got everyone in the audience to sing along, which was also really special. It was a theatrical performance like I’ve never seen before, and every single performer and instrumentalist on the stage was incredibly talented.
