SUMMARY:An Evening with Celtic Thunder
DESCRIPTION:Neil Byrne\nNeil Byrne’s passion for music ignited at a young age\, when he discovered the magic of rhythm by using suitcases as makeshift drums. However\, it was a pivotal moment at the age of six that sealed his destiny in the world of music. Witnessing his father’s three-piece band perform at a wedding left an indelible impression on him. Neil vividly recalls the experience\, noting that while he may not have fully grasped the intricacies of the music\, he instinctively recognized its profound beauty.\nSoon after\, Neil embarked on his professional music journey by joining his father’s band. His musical horizons continued to expand as he delved into jazz\, and he eventually ventured into forming a retro funk band called Hipple Street.\nNeil’s association with Celtic Thunder began when he was approached to record backing vocals for the first Celtic Thunder DVD in 2007. Over time\, he transitioned from backing vocals to lead guitar and\, in 2011\, assumed one of the lead vocalist roles in the show. His tenure with Celtic Thunder has seen him extensively tour the United States\, Canada\, and Australia with the ensemble. Additionally\, Neil has been a part of all Celtic Thunder Cruises held in 2013\, 2014\, 2017\, 2022 and 2023.\nEmmet Cahill\nEmmet Cahill originates from Mullingar\, situated in County Westmeath\, Ireland. His early musical journey began in Mullingar\, where he attended high school on a music scholarship. During this time\, he expanded his musical skills by delving into piano\, organ\, violin\, and vocal training. His dedication to music led him to graduate from the renowned Royal Irish Academy of Music\, where he earned a university degree in Music Performance.\nEmmet’s exceptional talents and commitment to music earned him prestigious accolades. Notably\, he was honored with The John McCormack Bursary\, recognizing him as the most Promising Young Tenor. He also earned the distinction of being named the most promising young singer at the Royal Irish Academy of Music and achieved multiple prizes at the National Feis Ceoil singing competition. These achievements brought him to the attention of Celtic Thunder Producer Sharon Browne\, marking the beginning of Emmet’s journey with Celtic Thunder during their Heritage tour in 2011.\nDamian McGinty\nDamian McGinty is a multi-genre singer/songwriter from Derry\, Northern Ireland\, who now calls Nashville his home. He currently splits his time as an independent solo artist and a principal performer for Celtic Thunder\, sprinkled in with occasional acting jobs and other pursuits.\nOver the years Damian’s career has taken him around the world on nearly two dozen tours through the United States\, Canada\, Australia and more\, including nine tours with Celtic Thunder and five self-managed solo tours. He is a featured performer in eight Celtic Thunder PBS specials\, a highlighted performer in two additional PBS specials\, and appears on eight Celtic Thunder DVDs and a dozen Celtic Thunder CDs.\nRonan Scolard\nRonan Scolard hails from Dublin\, Ireland\, where he has made a name for himself as both a composer and a vocalist. He pursued his passion for music at Trinity College Dublin\, initially focusing on Classical Music. Subsequently\, he expanded his academic horizons\, earning a postgraduate degree in Music Technology and a master’s degree in composition.\nRonan’s musical journey has taken him across the globe as an arranger and touring artist. He has lent his talents to various renowned groups and artists\, including Adele\, Celtic Woman\, Riverdance\, The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra\, the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra\, the Utah Symphony Orchestra\, and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra. He has also collaborated with notable performers like Mark Feehily\, Carrie Hope Fletcher\, Wallis Bird\, and Mairéad Carlin\, among others.

SUMMARY:The Waterboys
DESCRIPTION:The Waterboys have been led by Scottish singer and guitarist Mike Scott since the 1980s and have evolved through many line-ups\, winning a fearsome concert reputation along the way. Indisputably one of the best live bands in the world\, the 2025 group features double keyboard players Brother Paul from Memphis and James Hallawell from Cornwall\, and is grounded by killer Irish rhythm section Aongus Ralston (bass) and Eamon Ferris (drums). They reconfigure music from all stages of the band’s career\, from the early “big music” of The Whole Of The Moon and classic album This Is The Sea through the roots-inspired Fisherman’s Blues era and the run of in-form records that have poured out since 2015’s Nashville-recorded Modern Blues\, taking in soul\, funk\, country-rock and any other kind of music they care to play – and always rooted in Scott’s songwriting mastery and a sense of exploration. Waterboys songs feature in the current or recent live sets of The War On Drugs\, Bleachers\, U2\, The Killers\, Tom Jones and many other acts but no one plays Waterboys quite like The Waterboys themselves. This year the band is touring their audacious new album on Sun records\, Life\, Death And Dennis Hopper\, a brilliant concept record which tells the story of the maverick American actor and trailblazer. Audiences can expect Waterboys classics\, new directions\, drama\, improvisation and musical fireworks.

SUMMARY:Ain’t Misbehavin’
DESCRIPTION:Assembled under the expert eye of director / lyricist\, Richard Maltby\, Jr.\, Ain’t Misbehavin’ is one of the most popular\, well-crafted revues of all time and winner of the 1978 Tony Award for Best Musical. The inimitable Thomas “Fats” Waller rose to international fame during the Golden Age of the Cotton Club and that jumpin’ new beat\, swing music. Although not quite a biography\, Ain’t Misbehavin’ evokes the delightful humor and infectious energy of this American original as a versatile cast struts\, strums and sings the songs that he made famous\, in a career that ranged from uptown clubs to downtown Tin Pan Alley to Hollywood and concert stages around the world. The intoxicating music of Fats Waller will delight and energize audiences as well as provide great insight into a vibrant time in American history and music.
