Hey guys! Didn't know quite where to post this so thought I'd put it here!
Do we know if anything good was shared (news and such) during the Instagram Q&A that Tara and Muirgen had on Friday? I'm not in Instagram so wasn't sure.

Has anybody seen YouTube videos of CW's Best of interviews? The ones with Meav and the girls.talking about being in Celtic Woman?

This topic is pretty straightforward! What solos do you think the girls are going to sing OR what solos do you want them to sing?
It would seem that we have some confirmation that Chloe will be singing When You Believe again. I hope they have a larger choir for this tour, otherwise I don't think this will work as well as on previous tours. I would also love if they revisited Galway Bay with Tara on the harp while Chloe sings.
For Mairead, I hope she sings Ae Fond Kiss again. I absolutely LOVE hearing her sing this one! I also think it would be lovely if she sang Newgrange once again. It's an old song that CW has sang for years but this newer version works so well for Mairead, so I would love hearing her soaring vocals on it.
With Megan, I'm a little bit unsure. I'm so tired of Fields Of Gold (she's singing the third freakin version) and, while I know she loves it and she sounded lovely on it, Faith's Song never really appealed to me. I hope she continues singing Shenandoah at the very least. I have always loved that song and you don't hear it sang that often anymore (my friend Jimmy, who used to play that song with his school's orchestra, heard her singing it and literally said "I have never once heard the lyrics to this song before"). For her second solo, I would love to hear her take on a solo performed by one of the former members that hasn't been revisited in the Gavin Murphy era. For instance, I would love if she were to cover one of Alex or Lynn's solos! I think she would sound sound great soloing on My Heart Was Home Again or hitting those higher notes in My Lagan Love.
As for Tara, I feel almost certain that she'll be performing The Enchanted Way again (which thank God for that, because that song is AMAZING). I also hope that she'll perform Across The World again. I feel that is the superior of her faster solos (Tara's Tunes just doesn't seem as fun to me). I also hope she performs For The Love Of A Princess, as that's my favorite of her slow solos. Although! Now that I think about it, she could perform Skyrim! I loved that song (I also love that game so it wouldn't hurt my feelings)!
What about you guys? What are you hoping to hear?

Here's some news! Apparently Gavin Murphy is working with Paul Byron on Paul's new solo album! According to Paul's Twitter, they're meeting at the National Concert Hall. Good luck!

This is pretty straightforward! I just want to know what original David Downes songs you would bring back (in a perfect world where we didn't have to worry about the legal stuff between the group and David).
Let me know if I missed anything or screwed up somewhere!

So! Since the next four is apparently gonna be the 15th Anniversary Tour, that suggests that Celtic Woman will probably be revisiting several old songs. While they have re-made plenty of the old songs, I'm just curious what one song, if any, from each album (apart from compiled like TGJ or Emerald) you would like to hear! (Except David Downes originals, that'll be a different post)
I'll start!
Original: Orinoco Flow (I want the original back seeing as I think it's 100% superior to the AL version)
A New Journey: The Last Rose Of Summer (as a duet between Mairead and Megan)
Songs From The Heart: Carolina Rua (I would love to hear this song once again, preferably performed by Mairead, seeing as she said she auditioned with this song)
Lullaby: When You Wish Upon A Star (preferably by Megan, she has the vocal strength to match up to Lisa, or, if they wanted to do a more subdued version, she could very easily do that as well)
Believe: The Water Is Wide (unlike the Believe version, I would prefer a more subdued version sung by Eabha and her magnificent haunting voice)
Destiny: Westering Home (my favorite song from Destiny, they can keep it the same since it is so very beautiful)
Voices Of Angels: Time To Say Goodbye (this would be stunning with the addition of Megan seeing as she's a classical soprano while Susan was theatrical)
Ancient Land: Mná na hÉireann (this is the perfect song for a group called Celtic Woman and the girls perform it flawlessly)

The lyric website A To Z Lyrics actually had the lyrics for this one! Thank God too cuz it's my favorite from this album! Enjoy!
(The site also has the lyrics from a good amount of the other songs too)
"Follow Me"
When the crash of the thunder is heard on the shore
Wake from your dreams, slumber no more
When the wild seabirds cry in the eye of the storm
Come follow me
When the flashes of lightning are slashing the sky
Over the tide, wild horses ride, over the sea
Come follow me
Trasna na dtonnta tagann Manannán Mac Lir
Farraige 'tá corraithe anocht
Trasna na dtonnta tagann Manannán Mac Lir
Eagla ar shaibhir 's ar bhocht
Can you hear on the air as you dream without sleep
Over the waves, from caverns deep
Comes the song of the underworld land of the sídhe
Under the sea
I am wind, I am sky, I am calling you home
Over the waves, over the foam
Come follow me
Come follow me
Trasna na dtonnta tagann Manannán Mac Lir
Farraige 'tá corraithe anocht
Trasna na dtonnta tagann Manannán Mac Lir
Eagla ar shaibhir 's ar bhocht
Groinneall na farraige, dubhagán na mara
Groinneall na farraige, dubhagán na mara
Groinneall na farraige, dubhagán na mara
Groinneall na farraige, dubhagán na mara
Ó thuaidh ó theas, soir is siar
Saol eile faoi gheasa
Light of sun, radiance of moon, sky, earth, sea
Hear my cry carried on the wind, shield me
Trasna na dtonnta tagann Manannán Mac Lir
Farraige 'tá corraithe anocht
Trasna na dtonnta tagann Manannán Mac Lir
Eagla ar shaibhir 's ar bhocht
Groinneall na farraige, dubhagán na mara
Groinneall na farraige, dubhagán na mara
Groinneall na farraige, dubhagán na mara
Groinneall na farraige, dubhagán na mara
Groinneall na farraige, dubhagán na mara
Groinneall na farraige, dubhagán na mara
Groinneall na farraige, dubhagán na mara
Saol eile – ah!

Hey guys! Here's a link to an article featuring the girls: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/ireland/celtic-woman-stay-in-perfect-harmony-jfc9pnd2rIs anyone able to view the whole article? I'm curious as to what it says. The free trial portion says it would cost 5 Euros as soon as the month-long free trial period is over. Problem is, you've gotta sign up for all their stuff too and give them all the info so they can auto-bill you.

So when do you think CW will finally post a full trailer? That usually helps with the hype surrounding a new album. At least then it gives people some clues as to what to expect from the music.

Hi everyone! Well! I've officially made the switch! I'll probably still post content on the old forum, but, seeing as it hasn't been updated in so long, I probably won't post as much there.
Can't wait to get started!
