  • Emmet Cahill, Irish tenor singer and former member of the group Celtic Thunder, visited Houston Public Media's Geary Studio to record a couple songs while in Houston for an August concert. With Seamus Brett on piano, Cahill performed the Academy Award-winning song "Moon River," by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer, famously featured in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's; and the Scottish folk song "Will Ye Go, Lassie, Go?," by Francis McPeake, another song (like "Moon River") that has been covered prolifically by many artists over the years.

    Actually had the chance to hear him perform on March 5th, in a sleepy little town called Three Oaks, Michigan.
    Something that's not conveyed well through this, is how FULL his voice sounds in real life. In the theater he was performing in, it felt like his voice filled the room. He is a great artist, and if you have the chance, go see him perform in person. It IS worth it.
    And Seamus Brett is, without a doubt, the best Pianist I have EVER heard perform. No questions or debates

    Keep coming back to this as it's a stupendously beautiful rendition of a favourite Scottish song - words by Tannahill. Emmet's interpretation is on a different level from anyone else. He and the accompanist are inspired.
