Ceili Rain hits on KLOVE radio!

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

Sometimes when you least expect it-something amazing happens that just blows you away and you are truly overwhelmed by the blessing. Sometimes you can’t even find the right words to say thankee.

We had this very experience this week when we learned that the biggest Christian radio group in the country, KLOVE decided to go against all their “rules” and add “KNEELING”-the new single from our upcoming CD-WHATEVER MAKES YOU DANCE-to their playlist 4 weeks ahead of schedule!

The song was initially introduced on the Morning Show with John & Sherry and apparently from the minute it was played phone lines just started to light up. (John and Sherry have been longtime Ceili friends and supporters of our music but even this song took them by surprise.) KNEELING speaks to the hearts of the folks in this country who are confused by the political landscape of our nation.

The song is powerful. The song is moving. Some feedback has indicated that the song will send chills down your spine. But that’s just how God wanted it to be as he put it on the heart of Bob Halligan Jr.

We look forward to see where this song will go and how it will impact your life!

Ceili Rain on French TV 8/15!

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

Bob Halligan Jr, CEILI RAIN and folks from SpiritandSong.com are the subject of a new documentary that hit French TV (with a viewership of 200 million) today 8/15. A full camera crew along with director Marc Maisonneuve followed Bob and the band in the early part of this year and has produced a wonderful 30 minute program highlighting contemporary Catholic music. Great thing about technology is that you can view this program in its entirety on “the net”. Now is the time to brush up on the “French” you learned in high school… but if you don’t understand the language…that’s OK. Check it out and you’ll easily be able to follow along. Go here and simply click on the mini camera icon to watch…
