Like you have all said, Neil has been part of the group from the beginning and does a wonderful job of holding down the harmonies... which for many is more difficult than singing the melodies. I really like his rendition of "Wish Upon a Star" on the cd, and I'm glad the back up voice finally gets a chance to stand with the other talented men. Thanks for posting!
To the negative commenters, find a video of them performing with their orchestra. Here they perform a cappela, it's probably morning. These guys are heavenly normally, or go see them in concert.
you can tell this is really early in the morning. but they are still A-MAZING!!! congrats to neil for becoming Celtic thunder's #6 vocal member!!! be really balances out the group since damian's voice has deepened. love these boys! (or should i say lads?!!?!?!!)
I died when Damian started singing this!! I sang this song for a compition and I was so excited to hear him sing it!!!! He has to win The Glee Project!!!!-3
I love them. The acapella was GORGEOUS. I love their individual voices and the way they mesh together afterwards. Watching the older videos I wish I was into them when paul byrom and ryan kelly were still in the group, their voices are amazing
It is now 6 fabulous lads!!! The addition of Neil Byrne (next to Ryan) has rounded out this lovely group. Neil is/was the guitarist and backing vocals on the previous CD's & DVD's! He has a solo song in the new It's Entertainment CD and sings with Ryan & Keith in Hallelujah.
@Babs2y Nonsense. Neil didn't even have a line in this song because he never did when it was released. Neil has always been their backup singer and has always provided additional harmonies on their songs. To say Neil throws off the harmony makes absolutely no sense when he's been part of CT since its inception. Plus, he has a wonderful voice!
Ok I am behind with the times here in Ireland as we don't get much info about these guys here, are we now a 6 piece or are we still a 5 piece?? Just a little confused but maybe that's because I have been celebrating St. Paddy's day a wee bit too much today :o Thanks for uploading by the way!!
@Monicaleigh43 i don't think he was actually suppose to sing in that song since he's a later member and thay probably hadn't really worked his tone into the harmonies at the time. so, he was just like humming and mumbling the words. that's just my theory :P
@Shannon2993 You're probably right but it makes sense. He wasn't a lead singer when they released this song and the guys are doing the verse they always did. It would be dumb to have Neil suddenly gone during this song when he's now in the group, even though he's not part of this song. You know what I mean?
Wish people would stop saying Neil (and Ryan) are short... they aren't! Ryan is 5-10 and Neil, judging by this vid and others, is about an inch shorter, if that, so figure 5-9. So not short! I mean, who knew Damo would grow to be 6 feet tall? And having George at 6-2, anyone is gonna look short next to that. But all of these fine lads are above average height, in American terms...
@imshortandirish He's sung background for them since the beginning. So, I think he would know the words and harmonies. LOL. But, your theory could work out too.
@platolol You have no right to judge talent, talent comes in many different forms. Not everyone is a songwriter, and yes it is amazing when someone can write amazing songs like Bob Dylan can, but it doesn't take away from the fact that these boys are extremely talented singers. It takes a special quality to perform the way they do, harmonize, perfect tone and pitch despite nerves, etc.
I have to disagree. I feel that Neil's voice is a perfect blend of the raspiness that Ryan has and the resonance that Keith's brings, and fits in somewhere in the middle. Maybe in this song, it could be a little off, but in any of the others they've sang, it's only enhanced the harmonies.
Wow! There hasn't been thunder like that in Ireland since the Vikings left! I got to get me one of those videos (and a TV). Very quaint & charming. Could use a good soprano and mezzo though (clarinet wouldn't hurt either) - I know they have some in Ireland. Anyway, putting all seriousness aside. . . The tune these words were put to is called "The Londonderry Aire". Now that Londonderry is again called by its original name of "Derry"; perhaps it be appropriate to refer to this tune now as "Danny Boy's Derry Aire (derriere)" ? Could even inspire new words! I think these guy are up to it.
You must be kidding, Babs2y. Neil has been with the group ever since the first day. He knows these songs backward and forward.Phil Coulter picked him personally to play lead guitar in the band. Anyone who thinks he can't sing just hasn't heard him sing Noreen or always a Woman yet.Grow up or go back to your heavy metal. I'm sure you'll hear some good harmony there !!
Why on earth did they have to change the lyrics of Ireland's Call?The original lyrics are far way better,the version they sing at the International Rugby games is the correct version!.Shame on you CT!.
Genevieve Canada They sing beautifully but wether though ignorance or greed for fame ,they blew there Christian cover by leading the St.pat parade in New York a blaitent pro homosexual event!
sorry but this is and forever will remain in my memory the best combination of CT talent. Hands down.
You are absolutely right. They never attained the perfect harmonies like this again. They were the best!!!!!!
Like you have all said, Neil has been part of the group from the beginning and does a wonderful job of holding down the harmonies... which for many is more difficult than singing the melodies.

Keith is just adorably I love his dimples, ❤️❤️❤️❤️

To the negative commenters, find a video of them performing with their orchestra. Here they perform a cappela, it's probably morning. These guys are heavenly normally, or go see them in concert.
They’re better when not trying so hard. But they’re still the best forever❤❤❤❤❤❤
you can tell this is really early in the morning. but they are still A-MAZING!!! congrats to neil for becoming Celtic thunder's #6 vocal member!!! be really balances out the group since damian's voice has deepened. love these boys! (or should i say lads?!!?!?!!)

Awesome singers.....so handsome!!*
I love them. The acapella was GORGEOUS. I love their individual voices and the way they mesh together afterwards.

Beautiful voices but I didn't realize they were so young when they came to the group.
It is now 6 fabulous lads!!! The addition of Neil Byrne (next to Ryan) has rounded out this lovely group. Neil is/was the guitarist and backing vocals on the previous CD's & DVD's! He has a solo song in the new It's Entertainment CD and sings with Ryan & Keith in Hallelujah.
ooooh my birthday!!! March 17!!! Damian is just amazing!!!
Love it
I love #celticthunder
RIP GEORGE GOD BLESS
MARAVILHOSSSßSOOOOO!!!!!!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

I love them

They started out flat on Danny Boy, but recovered well with Ireland's Call. I just wish we were able to see them sing the whole song.
They were on QVC?! And I MISSED THEM?! This is absurd. Oh well. They're just as amazing through the computer.
DAMIAN!!!! LUV HIM!
damian. you.are.FANTASTIC.
Ok I am behind with the times here in Ireland as we don't get much info about these guys here, are we now a 6 piece or are we still a 5 piece?? Just a little confused but maybe that's because I have been celebrating St. Paddy's day a wee bit too much today :o

@MMEPhilly I cut Neils' hair in Pittsburgh,,,never thought "short",,,just cute and talented!
@Monicaleigh43 i don't think he was actually suppose to sing in that song since he's a later member and thay probably hadn't really worked his tone into the harmonies at the time. so, he was just like humming and mumbling the words. that's just my theory :P
*gives a peppy intro*
Celtic Thunder: *proceeds to sing a literal funeral song* 😂
Gorgeous nonetheless!

It would be dumb to have Neil suddenly gone during this song when he's now in the group, even though he's not part of this song. You know what I mean?
he's dreamy
I wish we could have heard Keith more during his solo in Danny boy! The other voices overpower him.
I have my own Danny Boy.
Damian is dreamy.
Wish people would stop saying Neil (and Ryan) are short... they aren't! Ryan is 5-10 and Neil, judging by this vid and others, is about an inch shorter, if that, so figure 5-9. So not short!

Isnt that the guy from The Glee Project?
Can you feel love
More dvd cd together
@imshortandirish He's sung background for them since the beginning. So, I think he would know the words and harmonies. LOL. But, your theory could work out too.
@CountDerekula1 Haha...no....that's the guy from Celtic Thunder who just happened to make it onto the Glee Project...and now everyone knows him?? :P

Damian
its good. needs better balance but still amazing
KEITH
YES DAMIAN YES
@claire2106 Neil used to just be a back up singer, now he's more lol
For me it's Damian, Keith and Ryan :D
Damian
is that the irish guy from glee?
Wow! There hasn't been thunder like that in Ireland since the Vikings left! I got to get me one of those videos (and a TV). Very quaint & charming. Could use a good soprano and mezzo though (clarinet wouldn't hurt either) - I know they have some in Ireland. Anyway, putting all seriousness aside. . .

Paul's sparkly tie
Nooooo it stopped right before Damian's part
To be honest... I think Damian did win glee project... He's currently living in CA with Cameron, and not in Ireland O.O
sure is
yup
like this if they are all talented and amazing singers instead of posting on how one guy is hotter then the other
OMG!!! It's Damian McGinty from Glee!!!
Why cut off the rest of Ireland's Call ?!?! NOT COOL!!!!
@MTwannaB4jesus opps! sorry. i meant 6th member!!!
Damian all the way
@Monicaleigh43 yeah but i don't think he sung harmonies for THAT song; after all, it was acapella.. either way, he doesn't sing in this one xD lol
@Monicaleigh43 he probly doesnt
Paul
Ryan
Neil looks like he doesn't know the words!
Paul, George and Damian for me lol
@platolol If you think this is karaoke, then you must have never heard amazing quality music.
danny doy caecyu bomogao
It would be perfect if it wasn't for that loud obnoxious whiny voice from QVC.
Marry me damien!!
You must be kidding, Babs2y. Neil has been with the group ever since the first day. He knows these songs backward and forward.Phil Coulter picked him personally to play lead guitar in the band.

katsuaki baby
I don't think that Neil is singing in Danny Boy :S..
Why on earth did they have to change the lyrics of Ireland's Call?The original lyrics are far way better,the version they sing at the International Rugby games is the correct version!.Shame on you CT!.
Awww, Neil barely sings Danny Boy. Must be nervous.
Mamommy
asvina v. pienda
Das ist die schlechteste Interpretation von Dany Poy🤦♀️😱
BOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
then you obviously don't know talent.
Genevieve Canada They sing beautifully but wether though ignorance or greed for fame ,they blew there Christian cover by leading the St.pat parade in New York a blaitent pro homosexual event!
JENNY Wangler they are Christian. Christians love and accept everyone. You obviously are not one of you disagree.
First let me say im irish«««««« i didnt think the were that great. Sorry
