Hello everybody!  This new CD possibly deserves its own sub-board, then this thread can be moved to it. Here is a review from the Post-Tribune:- [/b] January 27, 2007 By TOM GARDNER Associated Press WriterIn October, Celtic Woman saw its debut album end an 82-week run at the top of Billboard's world music chart. It's replacement? ''Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration.'' With ''Celtic Woman _ New Journey,'' the group may be about to top itself again. On this latest CD, the women demonstrate their individual lyric abilities, then blend in ensembles that lead you to think they have performed together all their lives. The original group of four singers and a fiddle player is joined this time by Hayley Westenra, a New Zealander _ but one with Irish roots. She collaborates on five tracks, and her operatic voice just adds another dimension to the folksiness of the group's Celtic sound. Along with the diverse performances by the singers and the fiddler, musical director David Downes has chosen tunes ranging from Simon & Garfunkel (''Scarborough Fair'') to Handel (''Lascia Ch'io Pianga'' from ''Rinaldo'') then arranged them with traditional Celtic instruments. The Irish Film Orchestra and the Aontas Choral Ensemble join the group.[/size] Copyright 2007 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Hello again folks! This morning I bought my copy of the 'Celtic Woman - A New Journey' DVD in HMV at 150 Oxford Street. While I was there, I noticed they also have both versions of the CD in stock.  Both versions are imports, with the standard 16-track edition priced at £18. The deluxe boxed edition has a 20-track CD, including three tracks recorded live at Slane Castle, and a Claddagh charm, ideal for a charm bracelet. This is priced at £24. Here is the track-listing of the deluxe edition, from Amazon.com:-  1. The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun 2. The Prayer 3. Newgrange 4. Over The Rainbow 5. Granuaile's Dance 6. The Blessing 7. Dúlaman 8. Beyond The Sea 9. The Last Rose of Summer 10. Caledonia 11. Laschia Ch'io Pianga 12. Carrickfergus 13. Vivaldi's Rain 14. The Voice 15. Scarborough Fair 16. Mo Ghile Mear Bonus Tracks: 17. Sing Out! 18. Shenandoah - The Pacific Slope (Live from Slane Castle) 19. At The Céili (Live from Slane Castle) 20. Spanish Lady (Live from Slane Castle) There are some good reviews, so click on the link and scroll down to read them. I might buy the deluxe edition eventually, but for now I'm happy with the DVD. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifBest Wishes, Richard |

Thank you, Richard, for that tip off. I am in London next week so I will ensure I allow time for strollling down Oxford Street.

Hello Peter and Roger! I should have mentioned that I found the CDs in the Irish section in the basement of HMV, the branch between Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road. The DVD was in another section nearby to the right, possibly called Celtic Collections. I haven't checked the other branch near Bond Street yet. Best Wishes, Richard |

I am midway through playing the Deluxe Edition of the CD. Hayley's first solo appearance is on 'The Last Rose of Summer' but the insert credits it to Meav.  Doesn't anybody check these details? Roger |

That's so dumb - that song was my favorite one in the concert that Hayley sang!!!

Assuming it is one of the songs on the 16 (or whatever) track version Richard has, has the same mistake been made there?

Hello Peter! I only bought the DVD, but I might buy the deluxe edition of the CD eventually. I'll wait for a while to see if it is released here in the UK, when it should be a bit cheaper, I hope!  Best Wishes, Richard |

Hi Richard,
I think Peter was asking who 'The Last Rose Of Summer' was credited to on the DVD, ie, have they made the same mistake on that? But if he wasn't, I am!

Hello Roger and Peter! The DVD correctly credits 'The Last Rose Of Summer' to Méav and Hayley. See Tony's scans HERE. If I remember correctly, Hayley sings the first verse and Méav the second. Does Hayley sing it as a solo on the CD?  Richard |
