Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there has ever been a (Celtic Woman or Irish themed) Secret Santa event on this forum. The idea is for everyone to make a wishlist. Then everyone will receive someone elses wishlist and play secret santa. As a secret santa you will buy the gifts, wrap them beautifully and put a card with it, with some nice wishes on it.

Would some of the members here like to try out this idea? On another forum there was a Secret Santa tradition and that was really nice! Everyone would show some pictures from their gifts afterwards, to share their Secret Santa experience.

Let me know what you guys think about this and if it would even be possible.

I went to the opening show of the European Ancient Land tour in Amsterdam. It was such a magical evening! And the audience gave everyone on stage a very warm welcome! <3

The song that was the most emotional to me this evening, was the Parting Glass. The song has a special meaning to me and the friend who came with me.

I was also very happy that we got to hear the beautiful Ae fond kiss! Máiréad has such an enchanting voice and i think it really shows in this song. She tells the story so beautifully! I hoped that Máiréad woud perform this song, so i was very glad it happened.

A song that always makes me happy is Siúil a rún. I think this version of the song is one of my favorites so far! The harp and the flute are amazing, as well as Éabha's deep voice. When i think of celtic music, i think of a voice like hers. And Tara, where to start. Such an incredible talented lady! She always surprises me with her musical talent.

Megan sang the incredible song Fields of gold. I had the feeling she sang this song in a way that was different from the other songs she did. The friend who came with me absolutely loved this and thought Megan is perfect for Celtic Woman! I agree

Another favorite of mine, Going home was played as well and when they did The kesh inn the crowd went wild. They got a very long applause and standing ovation after this song!

It was an evening that i won't forget very soon and i hope to see the ladies back in the Netherlands next year! It is amazing to see how much everyone enjoys being on stage. Not only the ladies, but also the dancers and the other musicians. It was an absolute joy to watch!

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome! 

@VegasDavid: We weren't at the fan gathering. Unfortunately i figured out only now there was one But i hope you guys all enjoyed it very much! I was one of the people interviewed for the dvd on friday though. I'm curious if and what they will use for the dvd. But it was fun to do!

@CWazyTom: It was so amazing! And so nice to meet people from all over the world who share the love for Celtic Woman. It was also great to read your review on visiting both Ancient Land shows!
