Last year, there was a competition to select a singer to appear with Celtic Woman in the Homecoming special / DVD recording at the 3Arena in Dublin.
The field was narrowed down to 3 singers. The fans then voted on a winner from among those three finalists.
Anabel Sweeney ended up winning the competition and performed two songs in the Homecoming PBS special / DVD:
- Fields of Gold (solo)
- Westering Home (group)
Here are some excellent covers by Anabel:
All of them are covers of Brendan Graham songs.
