Mythology recounts the heritage of modern-day Celts and the influences from their Celtic past which make them who they are today. This Celtic heritage is aptly explained in the first line of the opening number "Voices" which was written for Mythology by Musical Director David Munro and songwriter Brendan Graham - "Voices call from the old days, Voices tell from the past, Ancient laws and ancient old ways to recast." Mythology is by far Celtic Thunder's most impressive production to date. All six Celtic Thunder principals, Ryan, George, Keith, Colm, Emmet and Neil feature prominently in Mythology, performing haunting solo numbers such as "Carrickfergus", "The Isle of Inisfree", "Scarlet Ribbons", "Katie", "Carolina Rua" and "Now We Free" and rousing ensembles "The Boys are Back in Town", "The Star of the County Down" and "The Rocky Road to Dublin". There are also great original tracks written especially for Mythology, such as "Voices" and "Hunter's Moon". The finale of Mythology is a powerful and stunning anthem "My Land"by award winning songwriter Brendan Graham, who also wrote the international hit "You Raise Me Up". The set, lighting, images. music and performances in Mythology make this a show not to be missed!

Celtic Thunder Mythology - 'Star of the County Down' In Banbridge Town near the County Down One morning last July, Down a boreen green came a sweet colleen, And she smiled as she passed me by. She looked so sweet, from her two bare feet To the sheen of her nut-brown hair. Such a coaxing elf, sure I shook myself For to see I was really there. From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay, And from Galway to Dublin Town, No maid I've seen like the brown colleen That I met in the County Down. As she onward sped, sure I scratched my head, And I looked with a feeling rare. And I says, says I, to a passer-by, "Who's the maid with the nut-brown hair?" He smiled at me, and he said, said he, "She's the gem of Ireland's crown, Young Rosie McCann from the banks of the Bann, She's the Star of the County Down." From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay, And from Galway to Dublin Town, No maid I've seen like the brown colleen That I met in the County Down. I've travelled a bit but was never smit Since my roving career began. But fair and square, I surrendered there To the charms of Rose McCann. I'd a heart to let, and no tenant yet Had I met in a shawl or gown. But in she went, and I asked no rent From the Star of the County Down. From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay, And from Galway to Dublin Town, No maid I've seen like the brown colleen That I met in the County Down. At the harvest fair, she'll be surely there, So I'll dress in my Sunday clothes, With my shoes shone bright and my hat cocked right For a smile from my nut-brown rose. No pipe I'll smoke, no horse I'll yoke, 'Til my plough is a rust-coloured brown, 'Til a smiling bride by my own fireside Sits the Star of the County Down. From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay, And from Galway to Dublin Town, No maid I've seen like the brown colleen That I met in the County Down. From Bantry Bay down to Derry Quay, And from Galway to Dublin Town, No maid I've seen like the brown colleen That I met in the County Down.
