On May 13 Colm Keegan and Laura Durant made a return visit to Rory Dolan's in Yonkers, New York while on their second US Tour. The show was a mixture of various musical styles and included a lot of original songs by Colm Keegan and Laura Durrant. BroadwayWorld was there from soundcheck to Meet and Greet to show and beyond to capture the evening!

Starting in the Palestrina Choir Colm became a regular performer in Dublin's National Concert Hall, and a soloist in prestigious venues worldwide. Colm won several highly acclaimed Feis Ceoil competitions in Dublin's RDS, all before the age of 12.

Colm's musical journey became more prevalent, as the young man from Dublin became a very sought after singer

Featured in the Celtic Woman 'Songs from the Heart' CD and DVD in Wicklow's Powerscourt Gardens, Colm also performed with Ireland's Peter Corry in The Helix, with 'The Priests' in the O2 Dublin and The Odyssey, Belfast, and also with Gary Barlow's new signing Camila Kerslake on RTE's, The Late Late Show.

He also went behind the scenes for the first time, becoming assistant-director for the local productions such as Pirates of Penzance, HMS Pinafore, South Pacific, Les Miserables, West Side Story and Joseph & the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.

Having spent a year with the group, completing two European tours, a tour of Asia, the making of 'Believe' CD & DVD and a five-month North American tour, Colm audition and was accepted to become a Principal singer in one of the biggest shows Ireland has produced, Celtic Thunder.

Colm's debut album and DVD 'Mythology' has critically been regarded as Celtic Thunder's greatest ever work, instantly achieving number 1 on Billboard's prestigious World Music Charts, as well as achieving best selling DVD in Australia.

Laura is a Scotland native and comes from a musical family.

As a cellist, Laura's performances range from classical recital, both nationally and internationaly, to session musician - and from large concert arenas to Baltic and Icelandic cruises with the National Trust of Scotland! She has collaborated with many musicians but works particularly with the renowned Scottish composer Edward McGuire, performing both his Scottish & classical works. Laura recently choreographed and danced in his world premiere at Glasgow's West End Festival. She has performed at various other festivals - and on Celtic Radio - with the talented Scottish singer Vivian Scotson and features on her recordings. She is also the front cover image for the lead singer of Glasgow's 'Belle and Sebastian's 'God Help The Girl' EP- 'Come Monday Night'!

Laura wants to pass on her love of music to the next generation and has, for the past 7 years, taught cello for the Royal Conservatory of Scotland's Musicworks.
