Customer Reviews of Gael Force: Ireland's Greatest Entertainers
Not To Be Missed! This is an outstanding collection of Irish music. I get the shivers everytime I watch it. Brilliant performances all round but especially from Mary Black, De Danann, Brian Kennedy and Maura O'Connell. The atmosphere in The Point is great as always. A great mix of styles make this a must for any fan of Irish music.
A treasure!
This is probably the first time I rented a DVD and absolutely HAD to buy it (in fact, I almost told Netflix I'd broken it and paid the fine!). Incredible music, fantastic staging, and a much broader variety that might be expected. Highlights for me included The Chieftains (always!), De Dannan, Mary Black, and the incredible grouping singing "Hard Times," my favorite track on the DVD. If you enjoy Irish music, or just good music in general, this is a must-have!
Pioneering Irish Music into the DVD generation
Failte! This DVD and producers need all the encouragement they can get for DVD as a new and better format for Irish Music. The music represented here is a wide cross section of styles. From traditional Irish Folk Music to Rock and Roll to World Fusion, this DVD has it all. If your taste in music is on the wild side, you have the Afro Celt Sound System playing world fusion music (Whirlygig). This includes an African Djembe player and an African Harp player. If you taste is traditional Irish, you have the everlasting Cheiftains in an opening dance number. Mix wild and traditional, and you have a frantically fast paced fiddle tune from Ashely McIsaak with Kevin Coneff smokin' on the Bodhran for back up rhythm. You see the equally everlasting and reincarnated De Dannan playing the Donnegal Reels. If you want to see why the Irish have a reputation for singers, there is an overpowering foursome (including my favorite, Mary Black) doing "Hard Times Will Come No More." Nomos, one of the most undiscovered bands outside of Ireland, does "Set You Free," with the talented young bodhran player, Frank Torpey, demonstrating his innovative new style. Did you know that Gaelic culture extends to Spain? This is your chance to see a Spanish Celtic Music Band Play. Altan shows up on stage with Tommy Hayes playing bodhran to one of the famous husband-wife, twin fiddle lead songs. Other DVD's to check out are "The Cheiftains Through Ireland" and "Solas." There are rumors of a Dervish DVD to come out soon of a recent concert. If producers want to keep putting Irish Music on DVD's, especially traditional Irish Music, I will be eager to keep buying them. I play along and VHS tapes wear out while DVD's do not. Slan!
