Lisa Lambe / You'll Deliver Christmas
« on: November 29, 2023, 07:00:19 PM »
A little while ago, Lisa released a new single "You'll Deliver Christmas."

This one's a real ear-pleaser. It has a warm and soothing sound and nice lyrics. I love the melody. I love basically everything about this song!

When did Mairead convey her reunion with Mairead? That's a little part only one I missed..

There are really so many special moments ✨️

After Granuaile's Dance.

What's you favourite moment from the 20th Anniversary special?

65
One of my PBS stations aired it tonight. I'm not sure if I can crank out a writeup before I go to bed, but I'll start working on one.

On DVD, this song was the first to feature a stringed instrument on the main stage that wasn't played by Máiréad Nesbitt or Órla Fallon and wasn't a piano.

Hmm. Good question. I would have guessed "Isle of Inisfree" also.

I'll take a guess but it's just a guess. I'm thinking of songs that feature a guitar. ??? So I'll guess "Carolina Rua"...

That did have a nice guitar feature on camera to go along with Lynn's charm. I think the guitarist was still positioned with the band though and that one got omitted from the Songs from the Heart DVD, although it found its place in the hearts of fans on YouTube. The one I'm thinking of, the performer starts on the main stage. The singers move around more than the performer during the song.

I love the Details you mentioned and pointed -out about this solo performance it's so suddle and light hearted like Lynn herself .

It also contains embedded clues about the song I'm thinking of. 😉

Yeah, meet and greet prices are all over the place and since I frequently travel for shows, that price is a factor in where I choose to go. The highest I've ever done for meet and greet is $485/pair. I was a bit hesitant on going that high, but am glad I did because that turned out to be Èabha's final show.

I did a $750 split once. I think that was the Fox Theatre Atlanta show just before the shutdown. Detroit used to be $500 for a pair.

Is it Rebecca Winkworth "Isle of Inisfree" ?

Good guess but this one was before Destiny.

Although a proper noun, this song title traditionally has many different spellings.
- One former CW covered this song during her CW tenure with one spelling.
- (At least) One former CW covered this song before her CW tenure with a different spelling.
- (At least) One former CW covered this song after her CW tenure with a different spelling.

Name that tune.

Hint #1. The song is in Irish Gaelic.

Hint #2. The former CW who sang this song with CW is Eabha. She still sings it live.

Hint #3. This is a classic sean nos song, and Eabha introduces it as such on the PBS special / DVD.

I suppose it could either be Ard Uí Chuain (sometimes spelled Aird Uí Chuain and introduced as a traditional sean nos song on Homecoming) or Sadhbh Ní Bhruinneallaigh (Sive, which I've also seen spelled Sadhbh Ní Bhruinealla or Sadhbh Ní Bhruinnealla, just to ensure maximum confusion), which typically follows in Celtic Woman sets.

The Gothard Sisters released their new Christmas album "A Celtic Christmas" today!

It was an enjoyable listen, complete with a fresh blend of instrumental arrangements, some great folksy percussion, and soothing vocals.

If you're like me and like their other work, you'll love this too!

Track List:

Angels We Have Heard on Hight
Winterberry Set
O Come O Come Emmanuel
Adestes Fideles
I Saw Three Ships
The Holly and the Ivy
Here We Come a Caroling
Wexford Carol
Away in a Manger

Christ Child Lullaby
The Christmas Eve Reel

That's sad. There's so much information there, especially from before 2015, that will be lost when that old forum dies. Unfortunately, The Wayback Machine (Internet Archive) isn't able to archive the content on there. It would basically have to be done page by page. It's impractical to archive it all without either a database backup or by using some sort a script that crawls through the forum and retrieves content.

As far as my stuff on there that was important to me, I pulled it all down manually years ago. But so many stories from the earlier years of Celtic Woman, some of which inspired me, will cease to exist.

Can anyone think or high priority content for us to go retrieve from the old forum while we still can?
