Celtic Woman - David Downes - Interview

[@jacklong5114]

The musical genius behind Celtic Woman. I believe the four original girls of Celtic Woman were the best female vocal group ever assembled.

[@holywells]

DAVID DOWNES---the GENIUS behind the music that makes this group so FANTASTIC !!!!

[@BandGeekSquadron]

the celtic woman soloists have such beautiful voices, and thanks to david, they can use them in a beautiful way as well. david has proven himself as a wonderful director and producer through all the wonderful songs he has put together for celtic woman. who cares what he looks like?

[@MatthewCroftMusic]

David's arrangements are incredible - the orchestra, band, and choir never sound better than when they're playing his scores.

[@balipsette]

He hits the girls' personalities and voices right on the nail when describing them--he puts into words exactly what I couldn't when listening to them, but which I could always sense. He's very intuitive.

[@joegaito702]

You should be proud way to go best wishes to you and everyone at celtic woman really enjoyed and appreciate your singing and style way to go ! Joe

[@OhSoSeptical]

David is a genius and was a perfect fit with the Celtic Woman

[@rorgeron54]

Don't get me wrong.I'm a huge fan of Celtic Woman but lets give a bit of credit to the genius of the group. without him there would be no Celtic Woman.

[@BuddyOakes]

I first found out about this guy from hearing his song "Pavilion" on XM. I bought his album, "Rusted Wheel of Things" and it has been one of my favorite albums since the first time I heard it. It is a classic that very few people have ever heard.

[@durdle1701]

Genius is seldom recognized by those who are unenlightened. David Downes is a genius of the first order.

[@joegaito702]

David downes one smart and bright man created Celtic woman really enjoyed and appreciate everything about him and the woman great job you should be amazed and proud love you guys thanks you guys rock ! Joe

[@edkostiu]

Here is the real brains of Celtic Woman......w/o this mans leadership they would not be as popular and well received as they are...............David you truly are the talent behind the talent

[@alegria101]

David Downes is a brilliant, brilliant person.

[@courtneya9731]

Dude.....you are training angels. *thumbs-up* I love to listen to them

[@steverush4402]

I can't wait to see what he'll do in 2014 for Celtic Woman's tenth anniversary. The CW addict community nurses fantasies of a Celtic Woman Grand Reunion concert, but I doubt that it will happen.

[@d1smal_darl1ng]

he is a musical genius!

[@GilmoreGal101708]

I didn't mean it in a bad way... I meant that he was as cute as one with his cheeks and all... I honestly think he is adorable... just wanted 2 clarify...

[@athleticguy15]

@buddyoakes The David Downes who wrote "Rusted Wheel of Things" is a New Zealand composer, not the Irish David Downes associated with Celtic Woman.

[@michaelderamo1115]

What David says about Chloe still applies today.

[@olivernolte]

He seems so friendly I look up to him

[@BuddyOakes]

@athleticguy15 Thanks for the heads up. The Rusted Wheel of Things remains one of my favorite albums but it is largely unknown.

[@RichardIII100]

This question is for David. How many musicians and singers were on the set for New Journey/ Slane Castle?

[@classicalman114]

Superficiality has always sadly existed among people, yet in today's society, it has become particularly bad. Why? Well, I personally blame it on the current pop culture scene, especially today's, you guessed it, (C)RAP. I'll say this right now, the things modern (c)rap promotes are horrid, and to judge everyone by their looks is a "thing" among gang culture. It's extremely pathetic and I am by no means a part of any of it. BTW, I LOVE Celtic Woman!!! Wonderful group.

[@l3titg0]

@MushroomCastle123 she was at that time :) she will be 22 on june 9th

[@freefliercrash]

hey, does anyone know what the name is of the song that Meav sings in this video? It's beautiful.

[@user-ky6vw5up9m]

Mave is singing An Irish song called “She Moved Through The Fair”

[@mitchellries256]

Is he still the musical director of the group today?

[@yellowRose806]

Unfortunately, no. CW's musical style dramatically changed since like 2015.

[@mitchellries256]

@yellowRose806 So what does he do now?

[@071949]

freefliercrash: "She Moved Through The Fair".

[@JuanJBreton]

"I cannot believe he refers to the singers as girls" ME TO !!! but #*&^%@ wAit..? they are girls... : O I personaly thinks he describe them very well, when he talks about each of them, he refers to them very profesionaly... and yet in a very unique way.

[@mbarr627]

what song was lisa singing

[@eME2711]

how old is he? he looks like 28-29..

[@mbarr627]

i didnt think so, i thought she looked her age

[@Irishadyn]

Well then that settles it. Chipmunks make great composers!

[@ahoghilllad]

So, do they ever sing live or do they just mime everything ?

[@then33k4]

that is one happy homosexual right there.

[@irenelau8578]

Why sad?...
