No Celtic Thunder show would be complete without an encore of their rousing anthem "Ireland's Call", the only song in CELTIC THUNDER X that isn't a new song but which never fails to bring the audience to its feet.
"We had a blast making CELTIC THUNDER X. The music choices were carefully selected to suit each member's personality and gave us something we could really dig our teeth into. The musical arrangements, the orchestra and the band are all great, and they really helped to create our best show to date. We love singing songs that are a perfect mix of traditional and contemporary Irish Songs, along with the fun we have performing hit songs that are known worldwide." Damian, Michael, Emmet, Ryan & Neil, Celtic Thunder
