Exactly spot on CK! It definitely adds to the performance and I have a feeling that isn't necessarily scripted.
My daughter surprises me almost every day. She actually remembered this talented performer, Darrien, from last year, and always wondered what happened to him. The "American friends" segments would always just make her laugh and laugh. We were so thankful to get the opportunity to see him in action twice this week on Tuesday evening.

Video is up of Martha's last show, from last Sunday. A dramatic improvement in quality from my last video posting.

If tonight's last two shows are any indication, tomorrow is going to be epic.
Firstly, man was it crowded today. The Disney concert line started at 10 am by the train tracks. The tour bus was right there inAquitaine France loading in at the same time. Really? Nice. See Kitty's pics. At least it didn't glitter and light up, I guess.
The 1:30 CF show was totally full (flashlights all over the first 7 minutes of the show from staff seating people, booooo). The show was VERY shorthanded on cast. Josh was doing's Gabe's spot in Entwined and other singers and dancers were absent. A lot of adjustments to do the show and the cast did a great job. The crowd, not so much. Don't people know how to clap? Did I mention it was crowded? LOTS of good ad-lib in this one. Did I mention it was crowded?
Then, the 5:30 show had even MORE improv. When Scott went to do the dance using the stool, they gave him one where he couldn't touch the floor. FUNNY! Then Colin gave him one of the footstools. Scott tapped on that while sitting down. Actually it turned out more impressive doing it siting down. Then he did an improv for his solo. Hopefully, Frank will put video up somewhere. When it came to the American's making fun of the Irish, Vince sat on the stool and Adam got on his knees to be the footstool.
We grabbed ToddF and got right back in line with Frank and crew for the 7 show. We took most of the front bench but then made room for some cast from another show to sit with us. MAN, if this is any taste of what is to come. Sunday is going to be unbelievable. Too much to describe but the crowd and cast was electric. Josh ran around the crowd doing Finnegans Wake. Other hijinks ensued. Again, hoping the video makes it online.
What got us? Seeing Josh tear up on Parting Glass since it was his last show. There will be lots of that Sunday. My girls gave him a huge hug on the way out. Then out to chat with ToddF over some dessert.
Sorry about the mini trip report, but it was mostly about CF. So, we put it here.
Off to sleep so we can get out to Sunday's fun!

The 7:00pm final season show was indeed epic. It was a nice touch with all the keys. The cast (as usual) was fantastic. The crowd energy was electric. It was inspiring to see all the support from the casts of MIU, Entwined, and alternate CF cast. The show itself ran ten minutes longer than normal. It was great way to end the season.
During the next to last show of Celtic Fyre, Colin Barkell grabbed a camera from a fan sitting in the front row and took it across the stage. After the show, I tracked down the gentleman who owned the camera (who prefers to remain anonymous). He was gracious enough to allow me to borrow his SD card long enough to copy his footage, to be shared with all the fans. So, here it is!

For the record, Scott wasn't at the final show.
Yeah, I didn't expect him to be there, but if he was I can only imagine how upset he would've been.
I'm not going to say much right now because this day was very personal on so many levels. We have found a way to enjoy something old anew again. Thank everyone who touched our lives this day. Best day ever.

This was a special gift for the owner of the camera. He comes to nearly every show, sits in just about the same spot, and records them all. When I got the recording from him, he said that was his 1018th recording of a Celtic Fyre show. As you might expect, he was thrilled at the gesture.
They were striking the set as soon as the show was over and everyone was out. For those that weren't there.
I have been hearing the voices, music and taps in my head ALL day. I don't know whether to rejoice and sing or be depressed.
I am so upset that I missed it...TODDF, VIDEO NOW! Reading comments on FB from the cast just hurts my heart.

The audio track is now processed. Toning down the claps of the enthusiastic adjacent audience members is a bit tricky. Audio and video should be synched and video posted tonight. I have plans for adding video edits and a fancy title sequence, but that can wait until later. Right now I'm focusing getting the raw footage of the final show up as soon as possible.
Video of the last show is up.
