Title: Mairead Nesbitt: Celtic Spells
Post by: CWazyTom on August 28, 2019, 05:40:31 PM
I found something interesting while searching for tour dates...

Apparently there's a new Mairead Nesbitt show coming called Celtic Spells.

It was mentioned on per profile on Ed Keane Associates Artist Management and Booking:

Quote
A new production by one of the Founder's of Celtic Women, Nesbitt returns to the stage of storytelling, spellbinding traditions, with Celtic Spells.

Star-crossed lovers are forbidden by their religions from being together - they must leave their homes and families, cross the ocean to build a life, a family...and cross time in the lives they create...

I haven't been able to find any corroborating evidence so far, so take it with a grain of salt for now, but it sounds interesting.

I think I might need to reserve a couple more vacation days for this.

Since I live in Florida, I'd normally go to this show.  BUT, I already have a ticket to see CW in Morgantown, WV the day before.    And, no it's not possible to fly.  Tallahasse has limited flights even though it's the capital of FL.

Does anyone know if Mairead does Meet & Greets since she went solo?

I sent an inquiry to her website, but have not received a reply.

I saw one of her solo shows in 2019 and she had a meet and greet after the show. It was a lot of fun!

@Tracie
Nice! Was it a paid M&G, or one where they just M&G everyone after the show? (If that sounds crazy, I've been to a few musicals where the star is just standing in the lobby or sitting at a table signing stuff after the show.)

It was paid, but not very expensive. I don't remember exactly, but I think only $15-20 extra. Everybody who had it went into a big room after the concert and took turns going up to talk to Mairead and take pictures with her. Then a bunch of us got a big group picture with her too. She was very friendly!

One of the shows is within driving distance. But my daughter has a school tournament that day. I guess I better do the right thing.  ;)

I also never heard back from her website on M&G.

Mairead has a concert today in NH.

She must have a connection to NH. That's where her CD ships from too.

I have listened to the Celtic Spells album quite a few times since it released and I've been really enjoying it! I think it's a great album, full of lively energetic songs. She put a wonderful album together! I'd love to see the Celtic Spells show someday!
