This was probably the best concert aired on PBS I've ever seen. From the link at the top (sorry, it is a "donation page" but I couldn't find a better one):
Normally, I don't watch PBS concerts, especially if they are part of a donation campaign, but I happened to flip to it while channel-surfing this past Thursday evening. These women's voices are stunning, at many times breath-takingly, heart-achingly beautiful. For folks who enjoy female celtic vocals, this program will mesmerize you. :-)
Celtic Woman The program brings to the screen five exceptional new Irish stars in a spectacular performance recorded live at Dublin's prestigious Helix Centre. Performing some of the most beautiful and best-loved songs in the musical repertoire, the four singers -- 15-year-old Chloë Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha and Orlagh Fallon -- and violinist Máiréad Nesbitt bring the Dublin audience to their feet over and over again.
Anyhow, just wanted to give a heads up, because I think it is well worth watching. PBS is rebroadcasting the program this weekend in select areas. Check the link below for your area (type in zip code or choose state, choose your channel, then search the list for "Celtic Woman"):

I watched. I was impressed with the voice of the 15 yr old Chloë Agnew and also Lisa Kelly. It was nice! They also sang a popular praise/worship song, which surprised me. Worth the CD from their website but PBS pimping it for 90 bucks is a sham. You can buy it at http://wwww.celticwoman.com
That site was over bandwidth during the show, so I guess allot of people were checking it out.
Oh and I agree with your assessment of them. They sang with little or no effort.
Cool, thanks for the info. My daughters will want to see this.
Thanks again!

Bad link! It's

Chloë Agnew and Lisa Kelly were my favorites too!! I missed the praise song since I caught the latter portion of the program. It seems I also missed "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," (darn it).
And thank you for the link!, although it seems down again at the moment.
Bandwidth exceeded! Boooooohoooo!
Celtic music is my favorite genre
Lisa has her own website but I forget the addy
Thank you for the link! :-)
Here is a pretty informative link, with pics of all the performers:
