Celtic Woman is a musical group comprising six irish women with a repertoire that ranges from traditional Celtic tunes to modern songs. Members include the four vocalists Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, Órla Fallon, Lisa Kelly, Chloë Agnew and the violinist Máiréad Nesbitt. Deirdre Shannon sang with the group during Ní Mhaolchatha’s pregnancy in 2005-2006. Hayley Westenra, a New Zelander of Irish descent, sang with the group during its 2006-2007 tour as its sixth member.

In 2007, Ní Mhaolchatha left the group to focus on her solo career and was replaced by Lynn Hilary. Alex Sharpe joined the group to fill in for Kelly (who was on maternity leave), and then became a full member as a replacement for Órla Fallon (who left to spend more time with family and record a solo work).

Celtic Woman was recorded on September 15, 2004 for PBS Television in The United States at The Helix, Dublin to a sell-out audience. The show was organized by show producer Sharone Browne and musical director and composer David Downes, and produced by Dave Kavanagh. The show was first broadcast in March 2005 in The United States and within weeks the album Celtic Woman reached number one in the World Music charts in America and on Amazon.com charts. Their huge success in Asia and in America has been credited to the already successful megastar Enya and has been called “Riverdance for the Voice”. As of July 22, 2006 the group has broken a long standing record in the music business. Their CD has been at the #1 position on the Billboard charts for an amazing 68 weeks.

They have the most beautiful voices, and nothing beats watching Mairead Nesbitt play- nothing!

Their "May it be" is more than just amazing! It's perfect, shows every movement of celtic soul.

Their violinist amazes me. Not only can she dance better than most people, and play violin better than most people, she can do both at the same time and make it look effortless. She's a living spirit of music.

I wish they'd tour in Europe in Spring instead of the states again, theyre getting spoiled over there.

Because it's about the spirit of the Celtic Woman, not about the group [2]

I don't get why it's "Woman", instead of obviously being "Women"...
