Thanks all the way around! I can't wait to see what the shirt looks like!
To pay it forward, I'll set up a contest / giveaway when I'm home and all settled in.

Hmm good question. Assuming they do a Christmas tour, that only gives them June - Nov free. No wonder most of the former CW always say they don't miss the touring.
I'd speculate maybe a short European tour?

My PBS is offering tickets and pre-show Soundcheck tickets. I personally prefer the description of the post-show party. Then I'd have to buy direct from CT.
Anyone else PBS offering pre-show or post-show?

I'll post something. I'd like to see others post too.
I'll be completely honest with you. I would have answered the question 100% different a week ago. I've been in the hospital this week, so my perspective is a lot different. So here goes:
I like CW for the special memories of auld lang syne (songs, meet-ups, correspondences) to rely on to get me through good days & bad.

Try this: Irish
I tried it and the tag said $5 off. Better than nothing.

Sorry to bump up an old post again. But someone finally posted the hi quality vid for For The Love Of A Princess on YouTube. I've been looking for it for a while. It's nice to have it playing on the computer and/or on my playlist.

wow! so that's your youtube channel
No, that's not my YouTube channel. But I'm going to bookmark it! I need to thank that person for this video! (Of course I've seen it before.)

Welcome! This is a really neat place here. A great way to find out insider info, and even meet up with other CW fans.
I like to ask people this. Who is on your Mt. Rushmore of CW (e.g. pick a violinist and 3 or 4 singers)?

I had thought about going to one of the shows. But we had prior appointments. I appreciate the review. I didn't know it was about a Catholic & a Protestant! A pastor at my church has all kind of Catholic / Protestant stories from Ireland. He is from Co. Tipperary (same as Mairead I think). I will have to listen to the CD again, and read all the notes again. Thanks for the report.

*** SPOILER ALERT *** Don't read this post if you want to watch the special for yourself first.

My random thoughts on the PBS special, not really a review.
If you want a video preview of the show, I posted a link about 6 posts up.
Pros. - Song choices. I like that they went back to traditional Irish standards. - Ronan. He fits right in, and they all get along well during the interviews. Plus the CW connection is always a plus.
Cons. - Missing faces. No Ryan Kelly (personal reasons), no Seana Davey (harp), no Nicole Hudson (fiddle). - No stage choreography. They stood at their mics the whole time. I'm not sure if the tours are different. - Missing energy. The crowd seemed tiny, and no wide shots for us to see. So it wasn't as energetic as usual. - No "Ireland's Call". This was the CT calling card.
General impressions. - In one of the interviews, they said it's their 1st special since 2017. - Generally, a different vibe they are going for. The CD itself sounds like 'traditional' CT. The special does not IMHO. It's much more cozy & intimate, and a little 'tame' for a CT show. - I enjoyed it, but I probably won't watch it over & over every time it is on PBS (like CW 20th for example).

Thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look.
I just saw Odyssey on PBS. I won't post here. I'll have to tag my post with a spoiler alert if I review it.
