[edit] Influences

A recent review of the Celtic Woman’s live show stated: “Orla Fallon seemed to have a strong sense of the theatrical, selling her songs with a touch of Judy Garland oomph.” Fallon has named Garland as an influence and in a March 2007 Boston Globe interview reflected "of course there is only one Judy Garland, but when you hear Over the Rainbow it is Celtic Woman" [1].
