Hi there, so who are you? Can you tell us a bit about yourself?
Hello and welcome to the campaign, my name is Michael Durkan and I am the producer/director of 'Celtic Nights -- The Emigrants Bridge'. I am here trying to raise the funds to produce a high quality HD live show of Celtic Nights - The Emigrants Bridge, which will be touring the USA and other countries worldwide.    

What is Celtic Nights- The Emigrants Bridge?
Celtic Nights -The Emigrants Bridge is a show, that through music and dance, tells the story of those who have emigrated, those who found it necessary to leave behind their families and head out for the New World.
   

Why is it about that old story that connects with audiences so well?
Well, so many of us know how that feels. I myself know what it is to emigrate, to leave behind the country you love for pastures new. It’s a theme that means so much to so many people. I believe it’s important to remember where we came from and to pay homage to the sacrifices our ancestors made to make our lives what they are today.

What is your aim?
I want to produce a world-class production of Celtic Nights with the aim of airing this show to a mass audience as well as producing a video and cd. With your help, I will fund a high quality and memorable production through music, song and dance, which will weave together the story of a people from many lands told through the eyes of Irish emigrants and their Celtic cousins who were forced to leave their homes and loved ones in centuries past. The whole thing is a great journey.

What do you mean by the Emigrants Bridge?
Well, the Emigrants Bridge, was the rugged and unforgiving sailing ship of yesteryear that would bring them over to the States, or the New World as it were.   

How will it look?
What will it Wel, we have already created a promotional video clip which will give you a taste of the production, however, the shoot for the new filming will include new sets and show design of the highest professional quality.

Where is the funding going?
The funding required will be spent according to a very specific budget taking into account all of the production facilities i.e. venue hire, costumes, music arrangements, set building, artist buyouts, editing, storyboard, 10 camera HD shoot incorporating, jibs, steady-cam, dolly shots, directors, floor managers, a live audience, cast and crew accommodation and catering facilities.One of the 3 day shoots will incorporate a live audience brought in specifically for the recording. 

What would you say to those that contribute?
For  everyone who contributes whether it be small or larger amounts it really is greatly appreciated. As you can see, we have many rewards to offer to contributors along the way. If you know other people who would share your interest in this project, let them know, any help be it monetary or just spreading word would be hugely appreciated. So thank you very much to those that do.
