Celtic Woman is an all-female Irish musical ensemble, formed in 2004 for a one-time event held in Dublin, Ireland. They started touring internationally as a group after multiple airings on PBS helped to boost the group's popularity.[1][2]
Celtic Woman released their debut album Celtic Woman in 2004 and have since released more than 20 albums. They have sold more than nine million records worldwide.[3] The group's line-up has changed over the years, involving vocalists and a fiddler. It was founded with Chloë Agnew, Órla Fallon, Lisa Kelly, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, and Máiréad Nesbitt, but now consists of Mairéad Carlin, Tara McNeill, Muirgen O'Mahony, and Emma Warren as of July 2023. They have been described as being "Riverdance for the voice."[4]
Celtic Woman has been named Billboard World Album Artist of the Year six times.[5][6]
