Mr. Coulter should be sent to Siberia…I saw this on the local PBS television station as part of their fund raiser.
I guess, he can do what he likes with his own songs, but, orchestrated versions of “Raggle Taggle Gypsy”, “The Island”, “Ride On”…
Thank God “Spancill Hill” escaped.
Odd that “Puppy Love” did not.
Nyuk! This is the kind of stuff I trot out whenever folks start talking about the REALLY BAD bluegrass and country music that sells so well on this side of the pond. Different strokes, I guess… 
Yet another nail in the coffin of the word “Celtic” in today’ parlance. Man, I am starting to think it’s a codeword for something that’s gonna piss me off.
Celtic Chunder is more like it.
Have ya seen it?
My eyes and ears retreated so far back into my head I could see and hear my medulla oblongata.
Here is a shot from the “Oy! You there, drop yur trousers like me!” number.
Its a real crowd pleaser.
If you’re not into the folksinger thing, you could try Bowfire…
Heh. Apt name.
The ads were enough to keep me away. I don’t think I would’ve survived watching the entire show.
What is the target demographic? Was the audience comprised entirely of those unable to run away?
Unfortunately, I had to sit through the aforementioned tunes. I couldn’t stomach it after that…
And the worse of it was, I lost an arguement with my wife on where it was made.
I said–definitely in the US, we Irish may destroy decent C&W songs but we would NEVER do that to OUR own stuff.
I bet t’will show up in Celtic Thunder II!

Considering the state of modern “country” music I don’t think you could do much to harm it.
