    Just wanted to add a note . I'm a 78 year old fan of Celtic Thunder and was devastated when they lost their Patriach of the Group. HE will be sadly and forever missed. I catch myself searching for him when I watch them perform! Miss you George always! Love 💐

    I fell in love with Celtic thunder the first time I heard them and I could not get over the men in this show and I consider myself a fan of Celtic thunder and I know that when the one singer passed away I immediately went to church being Catholic and I went to Mass afterwards I told the priest about Celtic thunder he said he'd never heard of them the following Sunday I went to church and father pulled me aside he said that is one heck of a group and I said father that one singer there passed away and I'd like to do something in his honor he said wait a second he went and got me a mass card he said this one's on me because that man had the voice of an Angel and he said I know he's up there singing so the group has done so so well and I am so proud of them and I'm so upset with the fact that they have been here several times and yet I've never been able to go to the show I pray to God that they come here again and that I have the time and the money to go see the show may God bless all of them and keep them healthy and I pray every single day for Celtic thunder God bless you all

    Keith Harkin is the sweetest person I've been lucky enough to meet. He cares about people. His fans who have met him can back me up, they know. I had the luck to meet Keith in Sacramento California on September 27th 2017. He noticed I had to use a walker, and asked me what was wrong. I told him that I have cancer. He told me I would beat it, and next time we meet I would be stronger. Then Keith gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I can never repay him for his kindness. Keith has the kindest,tenderest heart. I LOVE KEITH FOR THIS! Thanks for reading this. Love Cathy

    The interviewer did a really nice job (Brigid Boden). She asked him the right questions and then just let him talk, so you could tell he got to say things that were important to him. Maybe it's an Irish thing, but in the US (where I'm from) our interviewers are constantly jumping in like they have ADHD, and don't give the guest any time to actually say anything. This is a nice change.

    There are certain songs that Keith sings with Celtic Thunder that I don't really like as much when the others take the lead with it. Now We Are Free is a song that makes me cry every time I hear Keith sing it. There is a certain tone and pitch to his voice that hits me in a way that only few do.

    If you are doing any more of those house parties, I could help with arrangements...
