Celtic Crossroads

Celtic Crossroads was really amazing! There were great songs, great rhythm, and a surprising outfit changes by the lead singer! As said in class, i was surprised by the group dynamic and their age. I didn't expect them all to be in their mid-twenties. From my little experience with Irish dancing and music, i expected a family of eight, all varying in different heights and talents. 
I thought it was interesting that the lead singer said more than once, that Ireland is just a small dot in the Atlantic/ just a small country compared to america. They reiterated over and over again about their rich culture, coming from such a small land. They seemed to be defending their title and reputation, but in the end, the music (and dancing!) was very enjoyable!
