Hey everyone, I am so excited to share this interview with y'all! My sisters and I first started listening to Celtic Thunder a few years ago when we saw a video of them singing "All God's Creatures" on YouTube, and have been fans ever since. So without further ado, let me tell you a little bit about Celtic Thunder.
And now for the interview. I had a blast with this, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it as well.
1. Tell us a little bit about yourself.

2. How did you get involved with Celtic Thunder?
"I played bass and vocals in “Phil Coulter`s” band, he was our original musical director. Sharon Browne and Phil offered me a job I could not refuse and have never looked back."
3. What's your favorite part about being on tour?
"Besides the wide variety of music we play my favorite part of touring are the people I tour with. We have great comradery and fun together."
4. How many instruments can you play?
"My main instruments are lead guitar and bass guitar. I play piano, mandolin and percussion mainly in studio."
5. How did Byrne and Kelly start?
"Byrne and Kelly got started when myself and Ryan Kelly where paired up for a PBS touring promotion. We had to perform together live in the studio. The crowd of volunteers including the hosts really encouraged that both Ryan and myself perform more together. It got us thinking about it when we started hearing the same encouragement in other stations which led us to organizing a small US tour. We enjoyed it so much that six years, three albums and a film documentary later we are flying the flag high and getting more enjoyment out of it than we ever have."
6. What's something most people don't know about you?
"When I go shopping and try on a new shirt, I have to play air guitar in the dressing room to make sure it will work for stage. Hoping there are no cameras in there. Can`t believe I just shared that one Ha!Ha!"
7. What is your favorite part about performing?
"When a audience are singing back the words we have written. That`s a pretty cool feeling!"
Neil, Thank you so much for doing this!
Thanks for reading.
