Hi Southeastern Thunderheads!

 Well, as everyone knows by now, the new Celtic Thunder DVD/CD "It's Entertainment" has taken the US by storm once again!!!  Honestly, everything that Sharon, Phil and the guys touch turns to gold!  Or in this case PLATINUM!

 As you know the guys were on QVC for St. Patrick's Day and from all accounts, they were so appreciated by the QVC staff, vendors and well, of course the FANS! It was so special seeing Neil singing with the guys! His voice blends with the others' so beautifully.

 Now the guys are at home for a little while taking it easy, before starting to rehearse again.  As Sharon has said previously, when the tour comes to an end, it is an abrupt end.  The guys have been in "touring and promo" mode and suddenly it all stops.  The guys love to receive cards and letters, even though they may not be able to respond to them...it's so much fun hearing about the hilarious things going on in their Twitters!

 Honestly, the guys are going to be back here in the states before we know it! Some of the tickets are already on sale on Ticketmaster.

 Let me know what all of you are doing to keep promoting the guys! It's so much fun and we can all gain ideas from others!

 On a serious note, please pray for all our Celtic Thunder friends who are ill, undergoing surgery, and for the families of those who have passed on. This is another reason I wanted to do this website...we are a prayer circle and a mighty one!

 Even though this site has had some spamming problems, I'm just moving through them and would appreciate your sending in pics you have! The same guidelines apply, please no pics where the guys were not aware they were being photographed. Use good judgment on pics that are "unofficial", please.

Pics from PBS promos are especially welcome!

 Everyone have a wonderful weekend!  Talk with you soon!

 All the best,

 Susan

THE DAY HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!   "IT'S ENTERTAINMENT"  RELEASES TOMORROW!!!!

This is what we as fans look forward to, new material that we can promote to gain all of the guys more and more of a fan base.  This is why we all are involved in promoting Celtic Thunder to begin with!!!  The guys are SO worth all the effort that we can give them, and even more...

 Go to your local Best Buys, Barnes & Nobles, Borders, Wal-marts, etc....find out if their supplies of the new CD/DVD came in on time!  If they don't have the new materials yet, find out who does their merchandising and contact that department!  See if the store will let you do end-caps of the new materials.  Some are very agreeable to this while others decline.

 This is the guys' time to really SHINE!!!  Their new adventure is unlike anything ever produced by Sharon for the guys!!  The new material showcases all the unique talents EACH of the guys have individually as well as an ensemble...what a wonderful experience we are able to share in!!!

This is also OUR time to shine!!!! We ALL had a part in helping to promote the guys' last tours...the ones that sent them to #1 on the BILLBOARD WORLD MUSIC CHART for 2009!!!  We need to make sure that Celtic Thunder is #1 on the BILLBOARD WORLD MUSIC CHART for 2010!!!!! 

Now the PBS stations are coming around! Keep calling them! Ask them WHEN they're airing the new show!!!! Tell them how fantastic the new material is and how much you want to see this on their programming!!!

Tell ALL your friends and family to look for "It's Entertainment" wherever they shop!!  Let's help the sales of the guys' new CD/DVD go THROUGH THE ROOF!!!!!

Y'all can do it!!! You've already proven it!!!

Hope everyone has had a fabulous Ryan Kelly Day today!!!!

It's almost release time for "IT'S ENTERTAINMENT!!'' The EXCITEMENT has been building for months and Feb. 9th is almost HERE!!!

Sharon has asked that all the fans keep calling the PBS stations and asking them  when (not IF) they are airing Celtic Thunder-It's Entertainment...Wording your question this way lets the stations know that you are EXPECTING them to air the show!

Please do me a favour, if you will...I have a thread up now on the board for listing your PBS stations and the dates the stations are planning on airing the show.  If everyone will please fill this in when you find out from your stations?  Then everyone who reads/and or posts here will know as well!!

More details coming about pledge drives...stay tuned!!

WELCOME TO CELTIC THUNDER ROCKS THE SOUTHEAST!!! The place for all Southeast fans and others to share memories, pics, videos, whatever you feel like!  Our "Concert Memories" board is getting some REALLY interesting recollections, to say the least!:)  There are also some new Meet & Greet pics as well!!

This website is for YOU!  Stay tuned for new additions! Will be adding them hopefully today! (Hey, I have to sleep sometime!);)

Just a "heads up" for submitting your pics: It's easiest to just send them in on your photobucket link. All pics are welcome (except those that would violate copyrights, of course); if they are on the Celtic Thunder official websites, or the guys' myspaces, they are fine! Use discretion please, and do not send in pics of the guys' families though, even if you see some of them on myspace. 

Please submit those of good quality only, as nobody enjoys looking at fuzzy pics! Some of you may have pics that were taken during concerts; send those in as well...just make sure that any photos of the guys at the buses, etc. were taken with their prior permission and are pics the guys would be proud to see on here!  This is a courtesy this site is extending to the guys and...you never know WHO may drop by and check us out! (Yes, we've gained approval from one of the group, already!)
