Reflections and Echoes

Vicky Smith, shares with us a special moment.


The Reflections & Echoes section is absolutely made for people like me. After any of the shows, I'm absolutely bursting with enthusiasm, excitement, memories, words etc. etc. - it is so wonderful to have an outlet for all that emotion. I don't sit and write words out first - it's straight from the heart, unrehearsed, unrestrained!! Thank you for giving us all the opportunity to be involved. I'm looking forward to reading other fan's pieces too.

Reflections of the Celtus March Tour

Of the three shows I was privileged enough to be a part of, Ronnie Scotts in Birmingham is most dear to my heart. Our table was virtually touching the stage, hence it was a very personal experience, with lots of eye contact and smiles between Celtus and ourselves. I was absolutely spellbound all evening. I sang all night, glancing across to Lindy's table to exchange grins of approval and happiness. I felt as if I was in a "Bubble", which I did not want time to burst, it was such a brilliant evening.

I am 41 years old, happily married with two young daughters, and I can with hand on heart say, I have never enjoyed my music SO much. WHY? How much space can you give me!! My first Celtus experience was in May 1998, during the Paul Carrack tour. It was the spine-tingling harmonies that initially hit me - WOW -

  I bought Moonchild that night and have been well and truly smitten ever since. I am full admiration and wonder at John & Pat's musical skills - not only do they sound fantastic, but they are quite a spectacle to watch too.

Returning to Ronnie Scotts, on that evening Alan & I met our Japanese friend, Sachiko, from Nottingham. She sat on the table next to ours, and has been a fan since way back in the Mama's Boys days. Unfortunately, Celtus came on stage a good deal later than planned, through no fault of their own. Sachiko would have only heard one or two songs before having to leave to catch a train home to Nottingham. So, after having a brief chat, Alan and I offered to take Sachiko home with us after the show so that she didn't have to miss any of it. We all decided that being members of the Fan Club was all the introductions we needed and so that it exactly what she did. We sat up until 2am talking about what a wonderful evening we had enjoyed, and a new friendship was born.
  Vicky with a very happy Pat.
  What note to end on? May the fan club and website continue to flourish, may the "Celtus" word spread so that many more people can share what we've already found.
