    Pack your umbrella as Celtic Thunder returns with their storm of talent. They play in Manhattan’s Beacon Theater on April 1 before going to roll the dice at Foxwoods in Connecticut on April 3. The show has been a staple of PBS telethons and sold out amphitheaters since its release last year. Ryan Kelly, a 28-year-old from Co. Tyrone, plays the bad guy in the show, which he says is “always fun.”

    Because the world just does not have enough Irish male vocal groups wrapped in a glitzy production, Druid will be coming soon to an amphitheater near you. They are a musical and theatrical production that celebrates Irish cultural ancestry and contemporary sophistication by combining Celtic compositions old and new, as well as using the finest Irish talents in all its artistic and production values. The debut CD from Druid is called "Come Follow Me, Follow Me.

    Celtic Thunder, the all-male Irish (and Scottish) super group, has arrived to take America by storm. But forget chunky Aran sweaters and shining Tara pins. These lads wear Armani - even when it comes to their kilts.

  9. Celtic Thunder Over Manhattan
    March 10, 09

    NEXT week Celtic Thunder, the group of four conspicuously handsome young Irishmen (and one Scot), will play two concerts at Radio City Music Hall on October 7 and 8.

    It's been a short road to the big time for the Irish group. It was only in March of this year that they made their New York debut but since then - thanks to heavy rotation on PBS television and on the radio - they've captured the hearts of Americans from coast to coast.

  10. Celtic Coulter's Biggest Act Yet
    March 10, 09

    "HOW do I do it? I show up for work on Monday morning. Your track record is nice and reaffirming, but it doesn't make you walk on water."

    In typical Irish fashion, Phil Coulter downplays the success he's had in a career as songwriter, producer and singer these last 40 years.

    March 09, 09

    The air at Radio City Music Hall in New York on Tuesday, October 7, was thick with enthusiasm and anticipation, as 6,000 Irish and Irish Americans traveled from all over the state and some further a field to enjoy an evening of musical entertainment from their new favorite Irish group, Celtic Thunder.

    The boys, PBS powerhouses, were back in town and this time performing to a full house at Radio City.

    Minutes before the five young men took to the stage under the guidance of veteran Irish singer and songwriter Phil Coulter, men, women and children shuffled into their seats, programs and treats in their hands.

  13. Thunder Versus Kings
    March 09, 09

    It wasn't that long ago that we all grabbed our popcorn and watched the ringside seats during the Battle of the Irish Boy Bands in the nineties.

    Engineered by a puppeteer of pre-pubescents known as Louis Walsh, Boyzone and Westlife duked it out on the charts while we all covered our eardrums and watched the bloody mess of music.

    Inspired by the runaway success of Celtic Woman, history is about to repeat itself this year as two new male ensemble shows compete for your support.

    March 09, 09

  15. A Forceful Debut from Thunder
    March 09, 09

    Like most of the free world, I got caught in the storm brought on by Celtic Thunder. It was omnipresent on PBS during this month, and I must confess that while I did not see the whole thing in one setting, I caught all of it by sitting through one part or another a dozen times.

    The CD and DVD arrived on March 18, and I downloaded them right away on iTunes.

    March 09, 09
