Keith is so precious, loved him in Celtic Thunder, I wish his all the best. Very sweet person and handsome too
Thank you Keith for giving us "real music' in this time of violence and crime.
Those were the days! I’m writing this from the USA in July of 2022, and COVID is still among us. I surely hope Keith and his band have weathered the storm so far. He is so gracious and so much fun. So Irish! ☘️🎶🙏🏼❤️💥
Yes he speaks very well and entertaining and very talented
Keith is ADORABLE and very talented. I always enjoy listening to him!
What a gorgeous guy!!
I fell in love with Celtic thunder the first time I heard them and I could not get over the men in this show and I consider myself a fan of Celtic thunder and I know that when the one singer passed away I immediately went to church being Catholic and I went to Mass afterwards I told the priest about Celtic thunder he said he'd never heard of them the following Sunday I went to church and father pulled me aside he said that is one heck of a group and I said father that one singer there passed away and I'd like to do something in his honor he said wait a second he went and got me a mass card he said this one's on me because that man had the voice of an Angel and he said I know he's up there singing so the group has done so so well and I am so proud of them and I'm so upset with the fact that they have been here several times and yet I've never been able to go to the show I pray to God that they come here again and that I have the time and the money to go see the show may God bless all of them and keep them healthy and I pray every single day for Celtic thunder God bless you all
Just wanted to add a note . I'm a 78 year old fan of Celtic Thunder and was devastated when they lost their Patriach of the Group. HE will be sadly and forever missed. I catch myself searching for him when I watch them perform! Miss you George always! Love 💐

Keith, I wish you continuing success in the future, which is a certainty because you are so talented. But more than that, I hope you are able to keep your personal life balanced between your music and your family.
Love this Kieth always have just loved you
I went to see Celtic Thunder when they came to Townsville in Nth Queensland Australia n I loved them. I only found out a few weeks prior that George had passed n I bawled my eyes out. I love Celtic Thunder. All the best Keith n Kelsey. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Love Keith , have for years. He's quite a "regular " guy!❤ ...miss George always...
Man has he lived! he’s got it all, got what it takes. Please look after him and let him go far he has what it takes to do this. I mean he’s got what it takes without even trying. It seams it just happens for him. it’s definitely meant to be. 🎉❤😂
Really love Keith's Music history with Celtic Thunder Beautiful mix that Keith and the rest.
Beautiful
Keith Harkin is the sweetest person I've been lucky enough to meet. He cares about people. His fans who have met him can back me up, they know. I had the luck to meet Keith in Sacramento California on September 27th 2017. He noticed I had to use a walker, and asked me what was wrong. I told him that I have cancer. He told me I would beat it, and next time we meet I would be stronger. Then Keith gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. I can never repay him for his kindness. Keith has the kindest,tenderest heart. I LOVE KEITH FOR THIS! Thanks for reading this. Love Cathy

There are certain songs that Keith sings with Celtic Thunder that I don't really like as much when the others take the lead with it. Now We Are Free is a song that makes me cry every time I hear Keith sing it. There is a certain tone and pitch to his voice that hits me in a way that only few do.
He is still just so wonderful ,fun and talented .
Love u Keith u r so amazing.
I remember being obsessed with celtic thunder when I was younger- one time they came to Canada only like 2 hours away from where I lived and I wanted to go see them SO BAD but darn it all, they performed at a Casino and there was an age 18+ restriction for the theatre 😭😭😭😭😭
The interviewer did a really nice job (Brigid Boden). She asked him the right questions and then just let him talk, so you could tell he got to say things that were important to him. Maybe it's an Irish thing, but in the US (where I'm from) our interviewers are constantly jumping in like they have ADHD, and don't give the guest any time to actually say anything. This is a nice change.

Love this video. I learned a lot of stuff about Keith, like we're he went to school. And how he hooked up with CT, plus the time he spent in London! Already knew about the surfing and that he lives in the LA area. That he lived on a boat for a while. And he going to buy another one in the near future. (he just posted it today ).....
That was great!☘️
Keith you don’t have a brogue when you sing but I LOVE to listen to you when you speak! ❤
Love him
What a terrific interview! Thank you so much for sharing!

Hey, Keith, I have a neighbor who has his own vineyard, winery, and a venue for small crowds, near Mansfield, Missouri. (The town where Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote the "Little House" books, and the hometown of Michael Spyres, the world famous opera baritenor. If you are doing any more of those house parties, I could help with arrangements... I am an unknown songwriter, with more than 400 songs written, and none recorded. We have been too busy with our other businesses to work on the songs, which were written from 1993 to the present.
Seems like a really nice guy. His hair looked much better in Celtic Thunder though.
The original five singers were the Best,,,,,,Then when George passed it totally changed ,,,,just don’t care for the new crew,,,,,, oh! Well things change,,,,,,
He is such a beautiful man-inside and out. Talent,, humble heart 💜 But please go back with the shorter hair
EARLY May 2019... British Royals "Prince Harry & wife Meghan" have THEIR "Baby Watch" & We IRISH have "Keith & wife Kelsey" have THEIR "Baby Watch..." I'm MORE ((MUCH MORE)) Interested in the latter - Keith AND Kelsey's "Baby Watch!!" The Irish in me... Wins out 💯% ALL THE TIME and EVERY TIME! Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock... We can't WAIT, but Mother Nature SAYS "Too bad... you'll have to wait!" Bambino Harkin WILL come INTO THIS WORLD WHEN he/she IS READY & NOT a moment SOONER!!

Please cut your hair ,you look so much better with it shorter love you.
Did the interviewer wake Keith up from a nightmare? Talk about "bed hair"! He's a nice guy from all accounts, and a great singer & guitar player, but he needs to brush his hair (or better yet, cut it or pull it back). It distracts from the interview & from his natural good looks & terrific smile.
Pwwww
He's losing his accent...a little.

I agree. He looks better with the shorter blonde hair. It enhanced his looks more. Now he just looks average.
