Celtic Thunder Pittsburgh reviews
Regina was amazing...Little Joy not so much
"Twice in concert, I've seen Celtic Thunder. She is unforgettable and amazing every time. She appreciates the crowd and genuinely values those present. Little Joy, the opener, though, what can I say? Perhaps if I were to listen to them on iTunes, I might be more impressed. Good melodies were in some of their songs, and the female singer has a unique voice, but the drums were turned up so loud, it all sounded like NOISE! It was truly unfortunate. Before the show started, why wasn't this addressed? It was incredibly difficult to make out any of the lyrics, which were probably decent, and almost as difficult to hear any other instrument due to the deep, reverberating bass that filled the theatre. I am dumbfounded at the ineptness of whoever was responsible for the sound."
