 Carmel
Quinn has delighted audiences ever since she captivated the
American public as part of the Arthur Godfrey family on his
famed daily television show in the mid-fifties. Whether singing
or telling her wonderfully outrageous anecdotes, she immediately
has an audience in the palm of her hand.
After graduating from the Godfrey show, Ms. Quinn became
a popular guest on many of the national television talk shows;
viewers of the early Today Show, the Tonight Show, the Dick
Cavett Show, the Merv Griffin Show, and Live With Regis and
Kathie Lee fell in love with her unique charm and talent time
and time again. Her annual concert in Carnegie Hall has had
the manager posting the sold out signs for more than 25 years.
She has starred on the stage in Wildcat, Finian’s Rainbow,
The Boy Friend, The Sound of Music and many other productions.
Her numerous albums and cassettes have earned accolades from
every sector of the populace; her special love for children
engendered Patrick Muldoon and His Magic Balloon- a recording
which earned Ms. Quinn a prestigious Grammy Award nomination.
Wherever she performs Carmel Quinn makes her audience sing,
laugh and reminisce. Whether sharing her gift of song, or
meeting the great demand for speaking engagements, audiences
throughout the world express their immediate appreciation.
Quoting the St. John, New Brunswick, Canada Evening Globe
of July 29, 1991, "She is a graduate of the Dublin school
of stage artistry .....their finest and best known living
product, mixing humor with the pathos of story-telling and
superb showmanship. No one quite beguiles an audience so quickly
or more effortlessly……."
In 1991 she humbly accepted the John F. Kennedy Award for
Excellence in her field, only the second woman to have received
that honor, and an appearance before five North American cardinals
at a fund-raiser in Ann Arbor, Michigan for the construction
of a new cathedral in Managua capped her frequent benefit
appearances.
