From rousing ensemble numbers to solos showcasing each members' vocal style and personality,
Celtic Thunder performs powerful ballads, popular hits, and heartwarming songs of love and
loss from across the Celtic music spectrum-Irish, Scottish, traditional and contemporary. Celtic
Thunder creator/producer Sharon Browne teamed up with legendary Irish composer Phil Coulter
(Elvis Presley's "My Boy," Sandie Shaw's "Puppet on a String," the now-classic Irish ballad "The
Town I Loved So Well"), to audition men all over Ireland and Scotland for the group, and craft a
representative set list.

The eclectic mix of music includes traditional songs ("Mountains of
Mourne," "Come by the Hills," "Love Thee Dearest"), pop classics (Paul Anka's "Puppy Love,"
the Eagles' "Desperado," The Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin") and Coulter originals (Irish
Rugby Football Union anthem "Ireland's Call," "The Old Man," "Steal Away"), accompanied by
The Celtic Concert Orchestra, a full band, bagpipes and monks. Choreography, dramatic
lighting, visual effects, and a set resembling ancient stone steps and paths enhance the musical
production.
