new video of Killian Donnelly singing AIR FOR A WISE CELTIC FOOL

[bob8rich]

Please take a look at and listen to this new video from the Giggin4Good concert at the Actors' Church, Covent Garden on Sunday night - the amazing Killian Donnelly (Raoul in Phantom, Enjolras in Les Mis) singing a brand new song from the musical MY LAND'S SHORE by Christopher J. Orton and me.

Just 24 hours or so before, Killian had stepped off a plane from New York and the following morning he was about to begin rehearsals for Billy Elliot - and he still came along and turned in a vocal performance as stunning as this. He's pretty special. Hope everyone enjoys.......

Love it Bob! Love Killian's and his voice anyway but this is a stunning performance! thanks for sharing :)

Glad you love the song & Killian's vocals, Soonerorlater! And thanks for your constant support.

There's been some incredible buzz about this one - almost 600 views already on youtube in just 2 days! And lots of positive comments. The most awesome (and most humbling) comment came from the amazing Rebecca Caine (who was incredibly supportive of My Land's Shore when she heard the showcase we did at Giggin4Good back in February). She was in the audience at the Actors' Church last Sunday and she tweeted this:

"Heard some more of @MyLandsShore tonight beautifully sung by @killiandonnelly Why is this show not in the West End!"

A comment like that from someone of her legendary talent gives us SO much belief for our show.

Just bought the mp3 from Amazon, only 69p. Where does it go with respect to the rest of the recording on the CD?

[bob8rich]

zyx987 - thanks so much for buying the download of Air For Wise Celtic Fool! In the context of the show, the song is sung just before the outbreak of the Merthyr Rising, so would be placed between track 6 (Love On The Edge Of Our Tears) and Track 7 (Play With War) had it been written before we recorded the album!

Btw - there are another 10 musical numbers in the show, which have not yet been recorded (apart from demos).

Also btw - if anyone else is interested in buying a download of Killian's recording of the song, it is now available at Amazon:

Wow. That is a stunning piece of writing. Such a gorgeous song.

Iluvtheatertrash - thank you so much for your kind words. So glad you enjoyed the song.

Btw - there is now another video of Killian's performance on youtube. It's the "official" Giggin4Good video (the previous one was one I filmed myself). It's the same performance of the same song but a different camera angle!
