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. ;)

... here's another version of her performing it live. I didn't see it live, but it has a special connection for me ;) https://youtu.be/iTrTYTzYDqQ
Here's an older one, from when she was only 14.
When I Grow Up:

You can also try to spot her in this music video, although it's not the best available video to appreciate her musical talents.

For those that don't know, it looks like Anabel is also an actress known for Calvary (2014), The Legend of Longwood (2014) and Nelly & Nora (2015):

For those in the NY area on June 1st, this may be of interest to you.
Anabel is apparently one of the International Shining Stars Winners performing at Carnegie Hall on June 1, 2018 (the same day as The Way of the Rain in Chicago, in case anyone has the budget for either).
