Celtic Thunder star launches his solo career with THIS IS THE MOMENT, a beautiful and moving album that, like Celtic Thunder, ranges far beyond the realm of Irish music. There is the stunning pop ballad title track as well as the powerhouse version of Bette Midler's hit "From a Distance," an intimate reading of the Beatles "All My Loving," and of course such Irish rooted-material as "My Land" and "Scorn Not His Simplicity."
