Results: Celtic Thunder performing "Christmas 195"
Published on 12/24/2023
This is my first time attempting to load a video, so please be kind. I hope that I've done it correctly, but if I have not, and you're interested in looking up the song, just go to Youtube.com and search for Celtic Thunder Christmas 1915. I like the version where they are all seated and wearing uniforms the best. Again, I appreciate all of you that are supportive of my attempts to learn something new, as tech stuff is not really my strong point. :-) If I've failed, I'd be grateful to find any helpful directions in the comments section that would make my next attempt more successful. Thank you.

I just thought I'd share this song with anyone that feels like listening to something a bit different this season. The end of this song brings tears to my eyes each time I listen to it. Are there forms of art/literature that cause you to feel strong emotions?

The song is loosely based on an actual event. Bertie Felstead, the last survivor that had 1st-hand knowledge of the "Christmas Truce" died in July 2001 at the age of 106. Do you feel that music is a good way to preserve moments in history? Yes

There is evidence (letters from soldiers to their families) that Christmas carols were in fact sung on the battlefield, as in the song. There are also accounts that soldiers from both sides of the battle came together to play football (of sorts). This is not mentioned in the song, but I find it interesting. Do you? Yes

Celtic Thunder is an Irish music group. They sing a wide variety of Irish music that includes ballets, sea shanties, and Irish drinking songs. They also perform some of the more traditional Christmas songs. In addition, they play folk, adult contemporary, world music, soft rock, Broadway, and classical crossover songs. George (the singer in the middle) has passed away. Damien (the youngest member) is now an adult. The group has changed a lot over the years, but I still enjoy their music. Do you have a music group that has changed members, but you still like the group? Yes
