Since the tours often differ slightly from the album and dvd... what are your personal ideas and hopes for it?
Mine are the following:
A slightly warmer/brighter atmosphere than the previous tours - every CW tour has it's own sort of theme, which is awesome, but lately they have been fairly serious and dark. Since Ancient Land is a much brighter show, I hope the tour, too, will be like that, or even lighter and warmer and generally more cheerful than the dvd version. Some rare old songs - since also every tour has some new versions of Celtic Woman classics, I really hope they will perform a few that we haven't heard in a while. Some of my suggestions: Galway Bay, My Land, Caledonia, The Water is Wide. On another not, I'd also like Éabha to sing The Wild Mountainside instead of Siulil a Run. I also wouldn't mind if the tour included Mo Ghile Mear, but in that case it should be an entirely new arrangement. I understand they can't use the old one, and that wouldn't really work anyway, but the new version is too serious. Of course, the focus is on the new songs, but I still think this is important. A slightly larger choir - but I think I've said that of all the more recent tours. Some sort of surprise - a whole new song, a different array of dresses for another number, a new twist a beloved song. Something unexpected, but nice. A rich ending - You Raise Me Up, some other song, The Parting Glass, Be Still, and finally Going Home. In that order. (Also, end the first act with Long Journey Home.)
