4BC Mornings: World reknowned Irish musical group, Celtic Thunder, are touring Australia next year so snap up tickets while you still can. Greg Cary talked to Emmet Cahill, the youngest member of the group about their rehearsal process, and the power their music has over their audience

It's Entertainment Product Description:
Overture and beginners please... Strike up the band... Stand by for Celtic Thunder... and It s Entertainment . This stylish and high energy trip through some of the great songs of the last 30 years is pure showbiz! It is a tribute from Celtic Thunder to the legacy they have inherited from the great entertainers of the past, and a mark of how far they themselves have traveled as performers, in a few short years.

It evokes an era of big bands and boulevards, top hats and tails and singing and dancing in the rain! It makes for irresistible listening as the principals from this generation pay their respects to the stars of an earlier time. In the true tradition of variety the music covers a mix of styles, of songs and of singers, as the lads salute their musical heroes- from Fred Astaire to Neil Diamond, from Jim Croce to Chicago, from Michael Buble to The Beach Boys! Each member features with two songs, one a serious workout, the other a bit of pure fun and a chance to let the hair down! These lighter choices have George stomping around to The Proclaimer s My Life With You , while Ryan takes on the persona of a Chicago gangster with Bad, Bad Leroy Brown . Keith slips right into character with a Surfer Medley and Damian becomes a bit of a boulevardier with Standing On The Corner . Paul steps up to the plate as an accomplished song and dance man with the rooty-tooty Doo Wacka Doo , specially written by Phil Coulter. One big surprise package is guitarist Neil who not only joins Ryan and Keith in a haunting, close harmony version of Leonard Cohen s Hallelujah but also delivers a superb, soulful solo on the Disney classic When You Wish Upon A Star . The show is rounded off by a couple of ensemble numbers, featuring all six singers, the perennial Amazing Grace and U2 s anthemic Still Haven t Found What I m Looking For . All in all, this is an inspired celebration of wonderful songs and great singers, an uplifting feel-good package that is the perfect antidote to the recession blues!

I am 14 years old and I absolutely love Celtic Thunder. It is my favorite band and I think it's kinda funny that I like them so much at this age! I am sure I am the only one in my whole school that knows who they are. :) I have gotten my mom to like them too from listing to their CD's in the car.

@blueilizzy2 That was me...4 years ago! I'm 18 now and have loved them since I was your age. I definitely know what it's like being the only one in your school. I've actually been able to hook a few of my friends. Maybe you'll have the same luck! :)

I've been listening to these guys since I was 11, and even thought my mom predicted that they were just a phase and I would be over them in a year, I'm now 13 and still love these Irish lads!
