How many on here???

Had their shows on the 15th anniversary tour affected by the pandemic and are going to the 20th anniversary tour??

I went to 3 back to back to back shows in 2020; all in Florida.  Had a couple more later in other states.  About a week after the last show was when they canceled everything.  But, they were going to "finish" the tour in 2021, so I kept my tickets.  As we know, that didn't happen either!

So in 2022, I went to 2 "canceled" shows from 2020 (out of State) plus 2 more local shows.  Ended up the year with one Christmas show.

Are you going this year?

I went to 5 shows on the Celebration tour before it got shut down (so glad we took that trip to Florida!), but I had tickets for more. I don't remember exactly how many more, maybe another 5 for spring plus 3 for Ireland? So we did have tickets carry over from 2020 all the way to 2022. We went to 14 shows on the Postcards tour partly because we missed live music so much, partly because we had all these tickets carry over, partly because we were already such huge fans of Tara and Megan and had personal connections with them. While we were doing it though I kept asking myself why I was seeing that tour more times than I saw Ancient Land because I missed Mairéad so much and I didn't like the music of Postcards as much as I loved everything from the Gavin Murphy years. So that's why I want to beat my own tour record and make my highest show count be on a tour that Mairéad is in and a tour where I love the music from Brian Byrne as much as I loved Gavin's. 13 days left to my 1st show of this tour, let's goooooo!
