Just in case your interested Brian has a Myspace page.  He's got an AMAZING VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean he is a vocalist?

Oh I remember finding that page and being like whoa, a guy singing Spanish Lady!  Now I know who it is, and I have to giggle at the coincidence.  He has an amazing voice!

Great find Sara! Did you happen to notice who's on his friends list?

Yes.  They sang in Riverdance together I believe. I have their version of Lift The Wings on my phone.

Where can I find that?

I got it from the Sprint music store.  If I'm not mistaken I believe you can get it on the 10th Anniversary of Riverdance CD.  I've seen a copy of it at Borders.  Atleast I think that is who sings it on there.

Now, I think he has a good personality.

Kim, I believe you are right.

I just went to his myspace..... and I don't think I've ever reacted to anyone's voice like that before.....

I just about cried it was so beautiful, and the words he was singing..... WOW! Ten Years is definitely my favorite!

He just added the bottom 2 songs the other day and I'm really glad he did.  Although I'm not sure which one I like the best.  I wish I could order his CD, but the link on his website won't work.

I love his version of Spanish Lady.  :D  I think he maybe my favorite.

Yea, I went to his site earlier tonight for a Friend Request, and wasn't paying attention while it loaded. Then I am looking over here, and I hear the music that sounded awful familar, then heard him singing...I was like...WHOA...a guy is singing it  ;D

Didn't you notice Brian has been on Lynn's friend list? I noticed that a long time ago, just didn't know who he was till lately  ;D

Yes.  I saw that back around November and started listening to him back then.   One of the great things about MySpace is the Artist pages.  Did you listen to any of his other songs?

Just the Spanish Lady one, since I am on Dial up, the music files on MySpace don't work well, the stop and start too much. I have to wait till the weekend and Panera... ;)

Yes, I know, I COULD break down and get hi speed, but then I wouldn't have a good excuse to go to Panera and sit for 4 hrs  ;D ;D

4 hrs?  You can listen to lots of music in that time!

well I watch all the videos, You Tube etc, plus I work on wallpaper/banners now :D.  Till my shows, then its my Thinking place for Reviews  ;)

Here is Brian's Dad, Sean Dunphy, who also has a great voice, singing the ballad of Michael Collins -
it kept cutting out on my computer but that may be just me - Bob I know you will enjoy this:

and another Rebel song:

Great find Maggie! As you well know I do have a soft spot for the "Big Fella". Also I'm sure Brian will be thrilled to share this thread with his father.

Yes, that is Brian.

I still love the rebel songs

I found out yesterday that Brian had added a new song on his MySpace site. It is called "God be with those days". As Brian said in his blog - Darren and he had written that song some time ago. I like it very much...

Awesome!  I love these guys more every time I hear them!  Thanks for sharing the link.

Great finds Saibhir!!
You can certainly see where Brian gets his talent from. One of the wonderful things about Irish culture is that music and family seem to be ever present. In families like the Dunphy's gatherings must have been much anticipated events.     

I did not notice if anyone posted how to get Brian's Timeless CD. You have to request it from him. I wrote to him on his myspace and received it about 2 weeks ago. It is in the CD player in the car (along with THK, and two of Darren's CDs - Live & Learn and Roadworks).

When Shannon heard Phil the Fluter, she said "Hey thats a High Kings song...he can't sing that". I showed her the CD cover and she said "He is a High Kings...he can sing it then"

That, needless to say, his her favorite song. I still have not decided...there are several that make me cry when I hear them.

Great info timi!!
The fact that you named your daughter Shannon speaks volumes.

Well, she was named for the river. And then there is Sean (he is 6yrs old). They are both redheads like their mum.

Still have not decided which song is my favorite.

I've searched everywhere for this CD...never thought of asking Brian directly??   ::)
Thanks for the tip Timi!
I'll be playing mine soon!
Norma

You will love it!!!! ;D

Here is a photo from the old days of the Riverdance Chorus.

The guy in the middle, 5th from the left, is Brian Dunphy.
The lady on the far right is Ann Myler, the lady to whom he is now married.

(http://www.celticcafe.com/archive/Music/Londra/images/singerslagan.jpg)

Ann was also in the CW chorus at Slane Castle, and in the Christmas Celebration DVD.
When Lisa sings "Green the whole year round" and gets to the line "the leaves of gold come tumbling down"
you can see Ann to the left of her, with the blonde hair.

She was a member of Anúna, and more recently in a group called "Girl Talk".

Here is another photo in which you can see Brian (on the right) playing the part of his father Séan
in the Musical Show "Dance Halls Qs & Hucklebuck Shoes".

(Oh he's probably going to hate me for this!) :

I previously said the lady in the pic was Brian's wife Ann, but it's Claudine Day.
(wrong info on the photo)

Thanks Maggie.  I've been wanting someone to confirm that Brian's wife Ann is one & the same Ann in the CW Chorus.   I should have just asked you!  And, Brian couldnt possibly hate you...what a great resource you are!
Norma

Great photos and info!!!

Thanks

Is it the same song that Lisa kelly sings???

For the most part yes.  Lisa's version is a little longer, the instrumentation is a little different, and it's a duet between Brian and Lynn versus solo with Lisa.
