On Saturday 3/3/07 my family and I went to see the Celtic Woman live concert. It was in Wallingford at the Chevrolet Theater. There were about 1,500 people there. We sat in row TT and used binoculars to see their faces better. It as distracting that people kept getting up and their heads were in the way and people behind us were talking . Luckily there were T.V.’s so you could see their faces up close. Anyway, Celtic Woman is a group of 6 women who perform with other additional backround singers and lots of instrumentalists. Their names are Chloe[vocalist] age 17!, Hayley[vocalist], Lisa[vocalist], Malread[fiddle player], Meav[vocalist] and Orla[volcalist and harp player]. But for some reason Hayley wasn’t at our show. But they still preformed great. They all wore the most beautiful dresses and sang beautifully. As for Mairead she played some very fast songs on her fiddle and she jumps around and dances whille she plays. Some of the songs they sang were: The Sky,The Dawn,The Sun, Danny Boy, Scarborough Fair, Over The Rainbow, The Last Rose Of Summer, The Voice, Sing Out, You Raise Me Up and many others. At the end of each song they got a big round of applause and at the end a standing ovation! At the end we bought a program that told a bit about each person. I will remember that night for the rest of my life.
