Celtic Woman / Re: What was the most shocking Celtic Woman announcement over the past 5 years?
« Last post by rfcw on October 21, 2024, 02:46:22 PM »Hannah did the Christmas 2022 tour.It's quite hard to name just one or two or basically which is the most outside off you're favorite because Hannah's abrupt departure so quick was surprising even though later we could understand why she had to.. Some may been surprised by Lisa Kelly but infact Chloe's return for The Celebration Tour was one as well having both heard them say they are done and would never well I kinda believed that more so for Lisa and to me Chloe just bubbly going along! 😉Did no 2023 spring tour play a part in Hannah leaving??
I don't remember, but no because I remember Hannah left after the Symphony Tour and Emma was right in with Mairead Carlin rejoining for Spring 2024.
Emma was introduced in May 2023.
Mairead returned in July 2023 + Hannah was announced as leaving then -- later that month they hit the studio to record 20 before taping the concert a month later.
The Christmas 2023 tour was Emma, Mairead, Muirgen, Tara (seeing that one + 20 four months apart was the first time that I had gone to two back to back Celtic Woman shows with the same four leads).
I'm still wondering if they asked MC to come back because Hannah was leaving. Or if they asked MC to come back and then asked Hannah to leave. If MC didn't come back, it would have been 3 (relatively) "new" singers + Tara for the 20th anniversary.
That's something I was actually looking forward and excited about! It's Muirgen second year but it would felt very new with a new set and new sound I suppose CW hasn't seen yet unless HFC counts. Mairead and Susan weren't new when Destiny happened even though it was Mairead's first special recording. When usually I'm a fanatic of former members rejoining the group. I was also excited if Megan had stayed she be the rookie leader upon the new girls.
