Probably You Raise Me Up, Danny Boy, Amazing Grace, The Parting Glass, Orinoco Flow, and Teir Abhaile Riu. I'd most likely expect someone to sing Dulaman.

I'd most likely expect someone to sing Dulaman.Yes, almost impossible for them to not include those. I would love it if we could get some of the CWs original show songs though... Like One World, The Soft Goodbye, etc.; At the Ceili, Nil Sen Lá would be lovely as well. But I am not sure if we would ever get any David Downes songs ever again; well, we had a huge chunk of them in the last Christmas tour, so maybe we are in luck.
A few that come to my mind that seem likely to return are Ballroom of Romance, The Kesh Inn, and Mo Ghile Mear.Some others that I'd love to see are Going Home, Westering Home, Follow Me, Bean Phaidin (Ancient Land version), and Time To Say Goodbye.Some thoughts I have as potential solos - Mairéad maybe I See Fire, Dulaman, or Nella Fantasia. Tara maybe For the Love of a Princess. Those are the songs that jump out to me the most for those two. Harder to guess for Muirgen and especially for Emma.
If they don't have every soloist, guest or otherwise, sing You Raise Me Up together at the end, then they'll have wasted an opportunity! I don't think Mairead C is a special guest. I think she's doing it as a current member, since she's doing the Christmas tour.
I miss The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun, Spanish Lady, At the Ceili, and the David Downes arrangement of Mo Ghile Mear. But who knows if they’re allowed to use those? Maybe they are, since they used his arrangements for Christmas.
