The Thunderous Sounds of 'Mythology'

Your browser doesn’t support HTML5 audio

Celtic Thunder is an all male vocal group from Ireland. Admission to the group is by audition, and members come and go, usually to pursue a solo performing career. They span the spectrum from young to more mature, but they each possess and outstanding voice and stage presentation. One of them is a chartered accountant, another a bus builder and a couple of others have degrees in music. The blonde surfer dude of the group even lives on a boat off the Californian coast. They maintain a brutal touring schedule, with dancers and their own band, and later this year, Celtic Thunder will perform on a Caribbean cruise. "Mythology" is their latest release and consists of mainly Irish songs, just in time for St. Patrick's Day.
