I've been going around the internet trying to find some Irish/contemporary songs that may be suitable for the Postcards from Ireland album/tour.
Some ideas I've had so far include:
Buachaill ón Éirne (Come by the Hills)
The Town I Loved So Well
May the Road Rise to Meet You
When Irish Eyes Are Smiling
Dún do Shúil (Close Your Eyes) (an Irish lullaby performed by Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh here – https://youtu.be/fumEc-cyfVI)
Morning Has Broken (made famous by Cat Stevens)
Her Mantle So Green (made famous by Sinéad O'Connor)
The Swallowtail (a traditional Irish jig)
Home Away from Home (an instrumental piece composed by Phil Coulter)
Amhrán na Farriage (Song of the Sea) (from the 2014 Irish animated film of the English name)
If Came the Hour (originally by Secret Garden)
A Place in the Choir (made famous by Celtic Thunder)
The Maid of Culmore (made famous by Cara Dillon)
What songs would you like to see covered? Do you agree with any of my suggestions or do you have other thoughts?

Hi guys!
I’m new on this forum but I’ve been a fan for more than 10 years now!
Anyway, I really hope to get a cover of Fields of Athenry and Raglan Road.
-
One I've wanted to hear them do is Orphan Girl.
-
I would really LOVE to hear Song for Ireland! BTW love all these other ideas!
-
Are they still going to cover that May It Be in Acapella!
While I did love Mairead's soaring parts would they mingle Susan in as well to make 4! 🙊💖

Welcome!*** - speaking of Raglan Road Caranua did a fantastic version of it! I'm not sure how different CW could do it again maybe recreate it in a new transformative way like a ceili song!

I can't really picture Raglan Road as an upbeat Ceili song seeing as it's usually a melancholy ballad, but I imagine Celtic Woman would create a GORGEOUS version as well!
