Celtic Woman is an all-female Irish musical ensemble. Formed in 2004 for a one-time event held in Dublin, Ireland, they started touring internationally as a group after multiple airings on PBS helped boost the group's popularity.[1][2]

Celtic Woman released their debut album Celtic Woman in 2004 and have since released more than twenty albums. Cumulatively, they have sold over nine million records worldwide.[3] The group's line-up, involving vocalists and a fiddler, has changed over the years. Founded with Chloë Agnew, Órla Fallon, Lisa Kelly, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, and Máiréad Nesbitt, the group consists of Mairéad Carlin, Tara McNeill, Muirgen O'Mahony, and Emma Warren as of July 2023. Celtic Woman has been described as being "Riverdance for the voice."[4]

Celtic Woman has been named Billboard World Album Artist of the Year six times.[5][6]

History

2004‒2005: debut

Celtic Woman originated from a one-time event event held at The Helix in Dublin organized by producer Sharon Brown, executive producer David "Dave" Kavannagh, television producer and director Avril MacRory, and musical director David Downes on 15 September 2004. Downes, a former musical director of the Irish stage show Riverdance,[7][8] recruited five Irish female musicians who had not previously performed together, vocalists Chloë Agnew, Órla Fallon, Lisa Kelly and Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt. Downes also chose a repertoire that ranged from traditional Celtic tunes to modern songs.

This performance was first broadcast on PBS during March 2005 in the United States. Within weeks the group's eponymous debut album, Celtic Woman, reached No. 1 on Billboard's World Music chart, eventually breaking Andrea Bocelli's long-standing record of chart-topping longevity on 22 July 2006 by having stayed at No. 1 for 68 weeks.[9] The album held the top position on the Billboard World Music chart for 81 weeks total.[10] Much of the group's success in America has been credited to the extensive PBS publicity throughout 2005. The live performance at The Helix was released on DVD alongside the studio album.

Celtic Woman has performed numerous tours in North America, with additional ones overseas. The group appeared live in more than a dozen US cities in 2005 for their original album debut, Celtic Woman The Show.[11] This was followed by all five members' solo albums recorded between 2000 and 2004 being released in the US on 10 January 2006. During Méav's pregnancy in 2005, Deirdre Shannon was selected to fill her place during tours.

2006‒2008: A Christmas Celebration, A New Journey

The release of the second album, Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration, on 19 October 2006 knocked their first album to the No. 2 spot on the World Music chart.[10]

Méav returned to the group in time to record A New Journey and tour for that album, coinciding with Deirdre's departure from the group in February 2006. On 6 September 2006, it was announced that Hayley Westenra officially joined Celtic Woman on 24 August 2006.[12] As well as being featured on the album and DVD for A New Journey, Hayley alternated with Méav during tour events to maintain the live five-person line-up.[13]

In preparation for their third studio album, Celtic Woman performed at Slane Castle in County Meath, Ireland, on 23 and 24 August 2006, with this show airing on PBS during December 2006. The studio album, titled Celtic Woman: A New Journey, was released on 30 January 2007. As with their debut, the live performance was released on DVD simultaneously. This album immediately hit the Billboard 200 at No. 4[14] and the Billboard World Music chart at No. 1,[15] moving their previous two releases down a notch and securing the top three positions on that chart for the group.

In response to the popularity of the performance at Slane Castle in 2006, PBS aired a special concert of Celtic Woman performing again in The Helix Theatre, Dublin, Ireland on 7 December 2007. This performance included songs from the group's second album, Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration.

The group toured the United States twice with their A New Journey tour, visiting 88 cities in 2007 and over 75 cities in 2008. In early April 2008 it was announced that The High Kings would be opening the act for the group through June 2008.[16] The tour began on 14 February 2007 in Tampa with initial dates announced through 29 June 2007. New dates for Europe running 22 September 22 to 9 October 2007 were announced in May 2007 along with fall North American dates running 10 October to 17 November 2007 and some Japan dates. The tour finished on 6 October 2008 in Amsterdam.

On 20 August 2007, Méav left Celtic Woman to focus on her solo career. Méav's replacement, Lynn Hilary, made her first appearance on 10 October 2007 in Estero, Florida, United States.[17][18] In December 2007, Lisa Kelly, who was expecting her third child in 2008, took maternity leave from the group. Alex Sharpe filled her position on the A New Journey tour during this leave.[19]

A fourth album, Celtic Woman: The Greatest Journey, was released on 28 October 2008. The 2009 Isle of Hope tour was announced in late 2008.

It was announced on the group's website in 2009 that Órla Fallon was taking a full break to spend time with her family and to focus on recording a new solo album, and that as a result of this, Alex would be replacing her.

The group's fifth album, Celtic Woman: Songs from the Heart, was released 26 January 2010. It peaked at No. 48 in July 2010 on the ARIA Top 50 Albums chart.[20] For the album, PBS television presented a special concert starting 28 November 2009. It was taped in HD at Powerscourt House and Gardens in Enniskerry, County Wicklow. It included a 27-member film orchestra, Discovery Gospel choir, 12-member Aontas Choir, 10-member Extreme Rhythm Drummers with an 11-piece bagpipe ensemble.[21]

For the 2009 Isle of Hope Tour, the group comprised vocalists Chloë Agnew, Lynn Hilary, Lisa Kelly, and Alex Sharpe; and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt. This group completed the entire 2009 tour as well as the first leg of the Songs from the Heart tour, from February to May 2010, with this line-up. After the tour ended, it was announced that Alex Sharpe would take a full-time break from Celtic Woman to spend time with her family.[22] After the Songs from the Heart tour, in November 2010, Lynn Hilary announced that she was leaving the group to return to Ireland.[23] Singer and actress Lisa Lambe joined the group as a replacement for Lynn in early 2011.

The 2010 tour featured some of the same music and some new music. The tour featured Chloë Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Lynn Hilary, Alex Sharpe, and Máiréad Nesbitt.

Relationship

When asked how the group members got along, founding former member Lisa Kelly responded,

"We get along because we're so different. Chloë Agnew is hip, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha is rational, Órla Fallon is angelic, and Máiréad Nesbitt is energetic."[70]

According to Chloë Agnew, the friendship among the vocalists was the number one question they were asked. She explained:

"I think people are always looking for a 'Desperate Housewives' story, that they all hate each other and nobody actually gets along. It's all for show. And the truth of the matter is, it's not. The reality is we do all get along. The five of us are like sisters, best friends."[71]
