  • Celtic Woman Celebrates No. 1 World Music Album, “Destiny” “CELTIC WOMAN: the DESTINY TOUR” COMES to the BROWARD CENTER for the PERFORMING ARTS on APRIL 28
    April 11, 2016 Media Contact: Savannah Whaley Pierson Grant Public Relations 954-776-1999 ext. 225 Jan Goodheart, Broward Center 954-765-5814 Celtic Woman Celebrates No. 1 World Music Album, “Destiny” “CELTIC WOMAN: THE DESTINY TOUR” COMES TO THE BROWARD CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS ON APRIL 28 FORT LAUDERDALE – Irish music sensation CELTIC WOMAN celebrates its brand new album, Destiny on its 85-city North American concert tour of the same name that comes to the Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, April 28 at 7:30 p.m. Destiny dominated the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s World Music Chart for seven weeks after its January release – their ninth record to hit No. 1 in a decade-long career, a true testament to the ensemble’s enduring popularity. Celtic Woman will perform songs from Destiny on its tour that launched from Nashville on March 4 and continues through early July. The performances honor Ireland’s past, while bringing a contemporary musical edge to songs old and new in a way that also reflects the vibrant, modern nation that Ireland has become. The Destiny Tour features an entirely new production showcasing vocalists Mairéad Carlin, Susan McFadden and newest member Éabha McMahon along with Celtic violinist and founding member Máiréad Nesbitt, accompanied by a group of equally talented musicians and dancers. Destiny CD/DVD (Manhattan Records) is Celtic Woman’s tenth CD and first of all-new material since 2011’s Believe. Destiny features a fresh fusion of traditional Irish music and modern songcraft, including the Waterboys classic “The Whole of the Moon,” Ed Sheeran’s “I See Fire,” from The Hobbit film, Mutt Lange’s “Walk Beside Me,” Brendan Graham’s “Sometimes a Prayer Will Do,” and the popular video game theme, "Skyrim." In 2016, as Ireland commemorates the Irish Rebellion of 100 years ago that led to its nation’s independence, Celtic Woman offers a rousing version of “Óró sé do bheatha ‘bhaile,” an anthem closely connected with the 1916 Easter Rising.

  • TWO IRISHMEN and the 1863 POLISH UPRISING Katarzyna
    VTU Review: Studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 5 Issue 1 2021 “St. Cyril and St. Methodius” University of Veliko Tarnovo Two Irishmen and the 1863 Polish Uprising Katarzyna Gmerek Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznań In January 1863, an uprising started in all parts of the former Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania that had been annexed by Russia. The uprising was of particular interest to Irish nationalists, who made a number of parallels with the Irish situation and used Polish examples in their political discourse. Two Irish politicians visited Poland at that time: William Smith O’Brien, a former leader of Young Ireland, and the young Tory M.P. for King’s County, John Pope-Hennessy. This article discusses their visits and compares and contrasts their personalities and political views. It examines relevant aspects of the histor- ical context by using both Polish archival sources and coverage by Irish nationalist periodicals. Keywords: January Uprising 1863, Irish-Polish relations, John Pope-Hennessy, William Smith O’Brien, nineteenth-century Irish nationalism. “How shall we honour this man of noble calling, who has inherited O’Connell’s proud mantle?/ Shall we gift him with a honeycomb? Or mount him on a Tartar steed?/ Entrust him with Żółkiewski’s sword? Or ennoble him as our own dear kin?” (“Jak uczcić”). This Polish bardic praise of a young Irish MP was recited during an official dinner in theResursa Business Club in Kraków, on 19 April 1863, by the local poet Lucjan Siemieński, who had made a name for himself as a translator of Homer and European folk poetry.
