Celtic Woman

August 15, 2010

Celtic Woman

Since forming in 2005, Celtic Woman consists of a vivacious, versatile assemblage comprised of charismatic and sublimely gifted Irish women. On this new leg of the tour there is a change to the line-up that sees Alex Sharpe (who joined in 2007) leaving the group due to family commitments. “It has been a great joy and pleasure to be a part of the Celtic Woman family these past 3 years but the time has come for me to be with my own family full time back at home. I would like to thank all the fans for the support they have given me from the beginning and throughout the years” comments Alex about her departure.

The extended Songs from the Heart tour will feature vocalists Chloë Agnew, Lynn Hilary, Lisa Kelly, and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt—whose diverse musical abilities and vivid personalities combine to create an enchanting blend of timeless tradition and contemporary craft.

In just five short years, this unique all-female ensemble continues to have mainstream success without the aid of traditional sales drivers such as radio or video airplay. No other group of this particular adult contemporary genre can claim 5 million albums sold, two top 10 album debuts on the Billboard Top 200, 3 gold and platinum albums, 4 Top 5 Releases on the Billboard Top Video chart and a million concert tickets sold. They have succeeded by connecting directly to fans via their Public Television specials, their frequent touring and then having those fans share the experience with friends and loved ones.
