Twenty Years of Show Biz for Irish 'Celtic Woman'

Irish entertainment became very popular in the United States about fifteen years ago. A friend of mine's teenage daughter became so fascinated by it that she became an Irish dancer and joined an American company of Irish dancers and performed all over the U.S. Dance and music companies from Ireland have performed to sold out crowds all over America. Each has it its own style of singing and dancing and one if the most successful is the all-female Celtic Woman, which will be at the State Theatre New Jersey in New Brunswick on Saturday, March 16, 2024.
