Damian McGinty is the youngest member; only 16 years old,
he has just finished his fifth year of middle school in Derry,
Northern Ireland. He lives with his parents, and his brother and
sister, and when he's not singing he loves playing football. Damian
began singing at a young age, winning his first music competition at
the age of six. His true beginning in the music business came after
winning a singing competition in 2006, where the prize was to record
some tracks on CD. Damian's excitement and enthusiasm for Celtic
Thunder is infectious. |

Paul Byrom has been hailed as Ireland's premier young tenor
and it is easy to see why. Singled out at an early age as having a
special vocal talent, the Dublin-born tenor was encouraged to pursue
his dream. He began voice study and training at the tender age of
seven. He studied under Dr. Veronica Dunne, Ireland's leading lady of
opera and a renowned vocal teacher. A professional singer by his early
teens, Paul recorded his first album as a boy soprano when he was 14.
His vocal style and range have brought him to the attention of
illustrious fellow Irish musicians, composers and singers such as
Bono, Phil Coulter and Shay Healy. |
