    The harp is a beautiful instrument and Tara McNeill plays wonderfully. She plays violin beautifully. I love the music. I've been listening to Celtic Woman since they began so long ago and have loved all of their performances.

    Thank you to everyone in Celtic Woman from the ladies past and present to the band, the ensemble singers and all the crews behind the scenes over all the years. Little did I know how much a part of my life and joy they would become when I watched that first special on PBS so many years ago!

    This will be a wonderful opportunity to meet the musicians from the Motherland up close. Celtic Woman was my favorite musical group in high school, rather than the boy band of the week or some edgy pop artist. I still love revisiting their music, and seeing the videos of the newer generations of the group up here on UA-cam.

    That was excellent 👏! Thank you, Tara, for the beautiful music and wonderful teaching. That harp and violin/fiddle sounded so soothing and magical. 'Love and Honor' is unforgettable. Your explanations about the fiddle helped me learn a lot about it and its music. Thank you for giving us (your fans) some Irish history and cultural knowledge as well. The Irish are so blessed and gifted! 😊

    Celtic Woman helped me come out of a really dark time in my life, though I won't go into details here. And later on they inspired me to get back into music, albeit with a different instrument but the principle is the same. Tara, you really are a class act.

I am a dancer and it has inspired me in many routines and I have used your music to choreograph to over the years. My most wonderful experience was when you played the Glasgow Royal concert hall a few years ago and I was able to meet the then members of the group and it was just the best night of my life!

Whether it is playing instruments to perfection or sweeping the stage before you perform to make it perfect. It does not matter what you do, it matters that you strive for perfection in what you do. That is the message that you send and it is very inspirational. Keep up the good work, Tara. Sending all my love, Dennis
