CELTIC THUNDER, a brand-new show created and produced by Sharon Browne, made its debut in the U.S. with a public television special airing on local stations nationwide in March 2008. Filmed in the Helix in Dublin August 2007, the show features five male vocalists (Damian McGinty, Keith Harkin, Ryan Kelly, Paul Byrom, and George Donaldson) performing an eclectic mix of songs, ranging from the traditional "Mountains of Mourne" and "Come By the Hills" to international hits such as "Brothers in Arms" and "Desperado," as well as original compositions by CELTIC THUNDER's musical director and composer Phil Coulter. The ensemble songs reflect the power of the soloists, who range in age from 16 to 40 and share a common Celtic heritage.
