ThunderHeads Forever

I am a ThunderHead. BIG TIME!!!!!! A “ThunderHead” is a person- such as myself- who is an ultimate fan of the band CELTIC THUNDER! Celtic Thunder is amazing. They write their own songs and remix classics. They are the FIVE MOST AMAZING SINGERS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! (I think they MIGHT even top Frank Sinatra, they definatly are tied with him).

Damian MacGinty-

He is the youngest member of the group. He will be turning 17 in September.  He sings their remake of “Breaking Up Is Hard To Do“…beautifully, I might add……..watch the video at: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheThunderTube#p/c/CA95C3A5A67B886C/0/j5hgEWDiiAo

He also sings “Come by the Hills” (I’m pretty sure its a CT original) : http://www.youtube.com/user/TheThunderTube#p/c/CA95C3A5A67B886C/1/M86bcDZ-tA4

Keith Harkin-

Many consider him the “heart-throb” of the group. His enchanting accent can be heard clearly in any song he sings. My favorites of his are “The Island” and “Lauren and I“.      The Island: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3ZmSZ8yOW8    Lauren and I: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2e0nN9Kx0k

Ryan Kelly-

 Definately the “Bad-Boy” of the group- POSSIBLE relation to Celtic Woman’s Lisa Kelly- Ryan’s style is one of my favorites. He sings “Heartbreaker” : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOGVD0V8c8U and “Brother’s In Arms” (This version set beautifully to clips from The Lord of The Rings) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsbJXIaMJro

Paul Byrom-

 He is pictured here with dancer Zara. Paul’s style is usually more mellow than Ryan’s, which makes their harmony in “That’s A Woman” the most beautiful thing you will ever hear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnQScdw24yg . Paul also sings a touching love song called “Nights in White Satin” : http://www.youtube.com/user/TheThunderTube#p/c/DF23338D9F668778/5/BHAiaX2kC0A

George Donaldson- 

The father/uncle figure of the group would probably be the best way to describe George.  You can feel his passion in every note he sings. You feel a connection to him, like the strings of your heart are litterally tying to his. Weddings are the theme of “The Voyage” : http://www.youtube.com/user/TheThunderTube#p/c/DF23338D9F668778/6/4CHS5Tj1h_A   and familial tragedies are the focus of “The Old Man” (A personal connection of mine- when I listen I feel closer to my Grandfather) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cw1yorwijY

A few group favorites of mine-

Hallelujah (introduces Neil…the newest member and this is the only place I can find him): http://www.youtube.com/user/TheThunderTube#p/c/8B207A129EB5BBCA/9/GE26oQcFTF0

Raggle Taggle Gypsy: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheThunderTube#p/c/CA95C3A5A67B886C/12/qo4gm4Shyeo

Danny Boy: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheThunderTube#p/c/CA95C3A5A67B886C/5/nv6xrTh–7o
