Editorial Review:
Album Description: Benefit album for the 28 people murdered in the terroristbombing in the Northern Ireland town of Omagh on August15th, 1998. All proceeds, including artists royalties, go tothe Omagh Memorial Fund. Features 14 fitting tracks from topIrish stars, including
Amazon.com: In August 1998, a bomb exploded in a shopping area in Omagh, Northern Ireland, killing 29 people and injuring 200 more. One of the fatal victims was a 12-year-old boy named Shaun McLaughlin, who wrote a precociously poignant antiwar poem entitled "Across the Bridge of Hope." This tragic irony is, sadly, a recurring theme in the saga of Northern Ireland's violence, so it wasn't difficult to compile 12 songs, from some of Ireland's most famous musicians, that triumphantly honor those who suffered or died in Omagh. The CD opens with actor Liam Neeson somberly reciting Seamus Heaney's poem The Cure at Troy and winds down as he reads the album's namesake prose. Sinead O'Connor croons proudly and reverently atop a scuffling, soft-shoed hip-hop rhythm in "Chiquitita." Boyzone and the Corrs' contributions cast off any dismissible pop stardom in this context, with songs that sweetly honor their lost countrymen and -women. The gentle wake of Van Morrison's acoustic version of "The Healing Game" pacifies a grieving soul. U2's "Please" is direct, angered, and entirely devastating. Throughout, the songs embody the inextinguishable spirit of the Irish--vivacious, stalwart, enduring, faithful. For every fire, there is always the rain, and this CD is a magnificent cloud. --Beth Massa

Rating: -
This concert was held to draw attention to the continued troubles in Ireland. While some of the performers are not well known in the US, they carry this selection. U2, Van Morrison & Sinead make touching offerings. But, it is the Irish folk influence heard throughout the performances that I really liked.
Rating: -
After years of conflict this CD reflects the mood of the times....find healing and peace within yourself and hope for a brighter, kinder, more insightful future. The poetry reading is wonderful, the music....healing.

Cunard Line has announced that its new
85,000-ton cruise ship, which is scheduled to enter service in 2008, will be
named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be
the second largest Cunard Queen ever built. Together with the current flagship,
Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the
Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

Cruise
Queen Victoria will enter service in the company’s 165th anniversary and will
operate cruises to and from Southampton to the Mediterranean, the Canaries,
Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. The 1,968-passenger vessel
will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation
lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12
passenger decks will be served by exterior glass-walled lifts. Like QE2 and QM2,
the liner will have a Queens Grill, offering single-seating gourmet dining.
There will also be a unique Colonial Restaurant on Deck 11 with spectacular
panoramic views.

Queen Victoria cruises will offer a wide range of
accommodations, large standard outside cabins (170 square feet) and a high
percentage of balcony cabins (67%), thereby bringing new levels of luxury and
choice to passengers preferring to depart from a European port. Cruise

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British
tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.
Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria. The
lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
No cruise schedules have yet been
announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
