What a treat! I caught them on public television the other night, their concert from Dublin: a group of five young, Irish and Scottish men called Celtic Thunder. They sang traditional Irish and Scottish songs and contemporary pop songs individually and collectively, backed by a large orchestra---classy and entertaining. They will appear soon in Boston; watch for them.
One of the best traditional Irish tunes I've ever heard is "Marble Halls" by Enya. Its dreamy melody and romantically sad lyrics transport me to King Arthur days. Arthur himself would have been enchanted by the song and by Enya. I think I now know why Enya doesn't use her last name in public. It's Face.
