Celtic Thunder has been one of the great musical phenomena of the past decade. Since their debut in 2007, the Irish vocalist supergroup has conquered the world, becoming PBS favorites and topping the world music charts in the U.S. and top concert attractions everywhere. Original Celtic Thunder vocalist Paul Byrom decided in Fall of 2010 to leave the group, in order to re-locate to the States and launch his worldwide solo career with a new solo recording.
The resulting album, THIS IS THE MOMENT has been released and is available online and at all shows.
The CD has become the #1 download on Itunes and has gone #1 on the World Billboard Charts, it was just revealed.
His concert tour will take him to the New York area on 11/18/11. He will be at B.B. Kings Blues Club and Grill. Show starts at 8PM and tickets are available through the B.B. Kings website and Ticketmaster.com
Paul's talent has already taken him far and wide. Some of the many highights of his career to date include performing for such dignitaries as President Barack Obama, Irish President Mary McAleese, Emperor Akihito of Japan, former Irish President and UN Commissioner for Human Rights, Mary Robinson and many others. Paul, who is an avid sports fan, has performed at such high-profile sporting events as a Pittsburgh Steelers football game, six All-Ireland Soccer Finals in Dublin, the world famous Barcelona soccer team, and is now a regular performer for the Boston Celtics basketball games.
