Yes, I am going in the spring! Gregg & I are starting off in Florida one week after opening night. I have big plans for the 20th Anniversary tour and currently have tickets for 16 shows. As of now, the Postcards From Ireland tour has my highest show count of a single tour at 14. I want to make my highest show count be on a tour that Mairéad is in, so I'm going all out on this tour! If the 20th Anniversary tour continues in the fall as I'm suspecting, then I'll likely drop a few spring shows to save the vacation time and travel funds and pick up some in the fall. I am counting attending the filming as one show, so I need at least 14 more to meet my goal. I'm really excited for this tour and I love the album, DVD, and this current group of four so much that I know I'm going to enjoy these shows immensely! Our hometown Minneapolis show is always one we very much look forward to because the Minneapolis crowds are the absolute bomb, as I know you've experienced as well! Hope you do come to the show!

Since this is the 20th Anniversary tour, I do think there will be a tour somewhere this fall, but I have no clue where. I personally am hoping for a Europe or UK tour because I want to travel overseas to attend! Hoping to find out soon so I can start planning.

I've been thinking about this since the album came out last week and during my many many many times listening to it. I have a very clear top 2, but then way too many contenders for the next 3 to be able to choose. So I'm going to give a top 2 for now and I'm being lazy and copying this from a different post where we were also choosing favorites since my reasons here are still exactly how I feel!
1) Mairéad's Cinema Paradiso - big shock, right? Anybody who knows me knows that Mairéad is my all-time favorite singer, that her stunningly gorgeous voice is my favorite thing on earth, and that she's a very dear friend of mine. Watching this live at the filming, my jaw was dropped the entire time in awe of the beauty. And as beautiful as this song is in the special, it's even more spectacular on tour where Mairéad is really showing off her opera voice. Phenomenal performance!
2) Muirgen's A Stor Mo Chroi - I am loving this song so much! I had been waiting to hear Muirgen sing a song like this since she joined the group. I saw her perform numerous times in 2022 and really enjoyed it, but after this filming I said this is the best I've ever heard from her. Muirgen absolutely nails this song and it is so perfect for her voice!

Oh I finally Google translated the title of this song: We are the women of Ireland.
I like that. It makes a stronger statement than ''Mná Na HÉireann' (Women of Ireland).
Ooh I love that! This is an excellent opening song. I also love how it blends into a part of Tread Lightly and then the start of act 2 is the full song of Tread Lightly. So cool! I'm hoping they bring back the curtain drop from the Celebration tour. They could be performing Is Sinne Mna Na hEireann behind a shimmery curtain where we can see their shadows, then drop the curtain right when the song turns into Tread Lightly. That would be an epic way to start the show!

I was able to delete the one I had added to the calendar, but not the two that were added by other members.

I just got an email that the Nebraska show is also canceled.

I chose 20th Anniversary because the dueling fiddles was so awesome!

Checked my setlists and at Mystic Lake for Magic of Christmas they removed intermission and the first two songs after intermission, which on that tour were Murphy's Mistletoe (orchestra only) and a combination of It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas and Ding Dong Merrily On High.

For the Magic of Christmas show at Mystic Lake, they cut intermission plus a couple of songs. After work today I can look back at my setlists from that year to see what specifically they cut. I don't know the exact requirement that casino's put on them, but casinos do have time restrictions which is unfortunate.

There are so many amazing things about the 20th Anniversary and I loved being in that audience so much! Here's what I chose for my top 3:
1) Mairéad's Cinema Paradiso - big shock, right? Anybody who knows me knows that Mairéad is my all-time favorite singer, that her stunningly gorgeous voice is my favorite thing on earth, and that she's a very dear friend of mine. Watching this live at the filming, my jaw was dropped the entire time in awe of the beauty.

2) Muirgen's A Stor Mo Chroi - I am loving this song so much! I had been waiting to hear Muirgen sing a song like this since she joined the group. I saw her perform numerous times in 2022 and really enjoyed it, but after this filming I said this is the best I've ever heard from her. Muirgen absolutely nails this song and it is so perfect for her voice!
3) I put Other for I Know My Love - I am soooo addicted to this song! I've been playing it over and over since it released. It's just so much fun and so catchy! Really fun lyrics, arrangement, choreography, everything. Love it!

There are close ups of me and Gregg at the beginning of Dulaman and at the beginning of Tread Lightly. There are also more times we spot ourselves in the wider audience shots, but you would need to know where we're sitting for those.

There's definitely gaps to fill in on the schedule, which we'll probably find out fairly soon. I'm particularly interested in April 16th - no show listed for that date yet and in between two Wisconsin shows. Very likely that's a Minnesota show!
Called it! April 16th at State Theatre Minneapolis just added to CW website!

I'm in DC for the Christmas shows and about to head to dinner, but wanted to say quickly that the special is in PBS Passport! Gregg and I watched it this morning and it is soooo gorgeous! There are close ups of us in the audience!
