There’s no resting on your laurels for Public Television phenomenon Celtic Thunder! The multi-platinum Irish group have recently released an all new CELTIC THUNDER X Deluxe Double CD, Deluxe Double DVD packages.  The releases celebrate the group’s 10^th Anniversary, and the Celtic Thunder X tour of 75 cities across the US and Canada will begin in the fall of 2018 with a stop in Moose Jaw October 27^th.

Backed by the amazing Celtic Thunder Band, the singers (Damian McGinty, Ryan Kelly, Michael O’Dwyer, Emmet Cahill & Neil Byrne) deliver new ensemble numbers including “Sons of Light”, “Toora, Loora, Lay”, “The Wild Rover”, “Right all right”, and “Castle on the Hill” followed in the second act by nostalgic fun songs like “Celebration”, “I’m a Believer”, “Seasons in the Sun” and “Rise Again”.  No Celtic Thunder show would be complete without an encore of their rousing anthem “Ireland’s Call”, the only song in CELTIC THUNDER X that isn’t a new song but which never fails to bring the audience to its feet.

"We had a blast making CELTIC THUNDER X. The music choices were carefully selected to suit each member’s personality and gave us something we could really dig our teeth into. The musical arrangements, the orchestra and the band are all great, and they really helped to create our best show to date. We love singing songs that are a perfect mix of traditional and contemporary Irish Songs, along with the fun we have performing hit songs that are known worldwide." Damian, Michael, Emmet, Ryan & Neil, Celtic Thunder

MOSAIC PLACE TO FEATURE THE TOP BULL RIDERS FROM ALL ACROSS NORTH AMERICA

Mosaic Place has seen plenty of action over the last six and a half years. It doesn’t get much hotter than the Professional Bull Riders Moose Jaw event, Powered by Young’s Equipment. This year’s show is set for 7 p.m. Saturday, June 9^th, at Mosaic Place in Moose Jaw.

“What makes that event special is the production that Chad (Besplug) and the Alpha Bull team put on mixed with a great crowd inside that building,” said Scott Schiffner, a two-time Canadian champion bull rider from Strathmore, Alberta. “Anytime we can go into a building like that, it’s really great. I’d rather go into a building that seats 4,000 and is jammed to the rafters than into an 18,000-seat arena that has only 9,000 in it.  It was packed. The crowd’s really into it and into each other. Everybody gets excited and makes for a good bull riding.”

Schiffner knows his stuff; in addition to his Canadian Professional Rodeo Association titles, he is a two-time Calgary Stampede winner, a PBR Canada champion and a PBR Canada Finalist. The 37-year-old Albertan has been around the game for some time.

“For someone like me and where I’m at in my career, for someone my age, I look for settings like that,” he said. “I’ve had the opportunity to ride in lots of venues and lots of places, and now I’m constantly looking for that place that I can feed off. Anytime you can get into a building like that, it reminds me why I’m in this sport.”

Schiffner has excelled at every level and in just about any size arena. He proved how much he liked the Mosaic Place last year when he walked away with the title.  “That was the first time I’d competed there,” Schiffner said. “Anytime you can win, it’s good, and it doesn’t matter where. That’s what we’re meant to do. When we show up, we expect to win. With the crowd and the Alpha Bull event Chad puts on, it just makes for an overall great experience.”

“I think the biggest thing about it is that Chad’s not too far removed from being a bull rider. He understands what it takes for us as bull riders – what we’re looking for, the bulls we want to get on and the atmosphere we like to compete in. He still has a direct connection with us.”

Get your tickets and be ready for the rumble.   Ticket prices start at $20 plus fees and can be purchased at the Ticket Rocket Box Office at Mosaic Place, online at www.mosaicplace.ca or by phone at 306-624-2050. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 2nd at 10am.
