Since today is the 19th Anniversary of the first Celtic Woman show, I'll post a riddle that's related to a different anniversary:

The original version of this song appeared on a significant music chart only in Ireland, but only a cover of this song won a Grammy. 30 years after the original was released, it was covered by Celtic Woman.

This one is harder than I originally thought. I had a few guesses, but Google says otherwise. Hmm... :-[

Professor Tom: We may need a hint!

The song was only performed by Celtic Woman on tour and uses music as a symbol of hope and unity.

@CelticPrincess
That was impressive! You are good at the hard questions!

The forum has been kind of slow. Do you want to kickstart it with a question here? If you want to a break from thinking of a question, I have a question I could ask.

@CelticPrincess
I got permission to ask a question. So you can take my next turn if you like. I don't want to breach any game etiquette.

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.

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.

Yes! You got it!

Here are some different spellings you'll see, and there are many more:
Ard Ui Chuain - CW Homecoming
Ardaigh Cuan - Meav w/ Anuna; Deirdre Shannon debut CD
Ardicoan - anglicized

(On a side note to CWazyTom: I've been liking your posts & concert reviews, but not officially "Liking" them since my Like button doesn't work right now.)

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"...
