Late Orla Gartland

The deep, joyful and soul-moving tradition of Celtic music meets the top-rank pop musicianship of our time in the inspiring and intimate Distant Shore, the brand new solo album by ORLA FALLON, formerly of Celtic Woman.

Tim Gartland had me hooked within the first minute of the lead track on his latest album. The lyrics to the chorus are simply: “I’m a party of one… but I’m drinking for two.” That pretty much sets the tone for this rollicking 10-song LP of new originals. “Satisfied” was recorded in Franklin, Tennessee, at The Rock House, produced by Kevin McKendree. The lineup is as follows: producer Kevin McKendree on keyboards (Delbert McClinton, Brian Setzer), Tom West on keyboards (Susan Tedeschi, Duke Robillard), Jack Bruno on drums (Tina Turner, Joe Cocker), Steve Mackey on bass (Delbert McClinton, Wallflowers), Robert Frahm on guitar (Blues Warriors), Tom Britt on guitar (Vince Gill, Jonell Mosser) and Memphis legend Wendy Moten on background vocals. Gartland sings lead vocals and plays his trademark blues harp.

Celtic Thunder is a popular multi-generational Irish vocal ensemble and stage show combining traditional Irish folk roots with more contemporary sounds. Emerging in 2008, the production has yielded dozens of platinum-selling albums and videos over the years, including Heritage (2011), Voyage (2012), and Homeland (2021). Celtic Thunder has occasionally explored music outside of the folk idiom with forays into Broadway musicals, pop, rock, and holiday standards. Celtic Thunder was conceived by Sharon Browne and written and arranged by Phil Coulter and designed as a contemporary exploration of Celtic music.

Green Hill Productions presents "WINTER, FIRE & SNOW" (A Celtic Christmas Collection) – Orla Fallon, featuring songs straight from the Dublin soundscape in Ireland, giving this pure authenticity with love of Christmas and the holiday season –- Delicate almost child like, from opening track "WHAT CHILD IS THIS?"

This album is a thrilling collaborative journal, the pages filled with the talent of exquisite musicians. The songs tell stories of contemporary life, delivered in an honest, blues-infused, sonic songbook. Tim is grateful to all of the people who have helped make his musical aspirations come alive, especially the musicians.

The smash success of Celtic Woman generated a lot of demand for more music from the talented performers, and The Water Is Wide is a rerelease of the first album of Orla Fallon, the harp-playing brunette. As the title suggests, the album is filled with traditional songs, including "The Water Is Wide," "She Moved Thro' the Fair," and "Down by the Sally Gardens," as well as traditional Irish songs such as "Aliliu Na Gamhna," "Carrickfergus," and "The Gartan Mother's Lullaby." Celtic Woman fans will enjoy hearing "Siuil a Run" again, and it also provides a different vibe to the rest of the album's steady flow of delicate loveliness. Most of the songs are Orla accompanying herself, but at only 37 minutes, The Water Is Wide doesn't overstay its welcome. The album peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard chart of World Music albums in 2006.

Following a break from Music to concentrate on being a Mom to her son Freddie, former Celtic Woman Orla Fallon is back with her most honest and heartfelt album to date. "Sweet By and By "features such American classics as Peter, Paul and Mary's "500 Miles",Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss Someone" and the achingly beautiful title track "In The Sweet By and By". The combined songs cover the themes of Love, Loss. Hope, Longing , Faith and Family. The album is a timeless piece of work which should stand the test of time for many years to come .
