Yes Tom you are correct the game board has over 712000 post out of the 1,044000 total posts on the forum that's almost 3/4 the total posts are in the game board. One other thing I found is there are 3046 members on the CWF but 1740 members have never posted a word and a lot of them have never been back once they signed up. So really that Forum isn't as big as people think take the ones that never post that only leaves 1306 members and then again there are also several 100 that have only made 1 post so it's not as large as it seems. One other thing I found was the data base for the CWF is also shared with THK forum both forums have the same number of members and posts so the real number of members of the CWF is really up in the air

Méav Ní Mhaolchatha (/ˈmeɪv niː ˈweɪlxɑːhɑː/ MAYV nee WAYL-khAH-HAh), mononymously known as Méav, is an Irish singer, songwriter and recording artist specialising in the traditional music of her homeland. She was one of the original soloists in the musical ensemble Celtic Woman, which has sold over six million albums. Her solo albums have reached the Billboard World Music Top 10. She sings in multiple languages: English, Irish, French, Latin, Italian and German.
Family
She and her husband, Tom, have two daughters.
Music career
Meav came from a musical family and began singing at a young age. She began singing professionally shortly after graduating from Trinity College Dublin with a law degree.[citation needed]
Between 1994 and 1998 Méav was a member of the Irish chamber choir Anúna. As a choral singer and soloist, she recorded four albums with Anúna: Omnis (1995), Omnis Special Edition (1996), Deep Dead Blue (1996), and Behind the Closed Eye (1997). In 2006 a collection of her solo and choral work with Anúna, Celtic Dreams, was released on Valley Entertainment Records. She appeared as a member of Anúna in Riverdance: The Show.
She subsequently toured the United States as a soloist with the Irish RTÉ Concert Orchestra. She also toured South Africa as a soloist with Lord of the Dance.
She recorded her first and eponymous solo album in 1999 which had global success and led to concert tours in Japan and South Korea.
Méav gained musical stardom as a founding member of the group Celtic Woman in 2004. Her singing is a prominent element of Celtic Woman's three CDs, Celtic Woman, Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration, and Celtic Woman: A New Journey. In 2005, Méav was expecting her first child and took maternity leave to await the birth of her first daughter, Anna. During tours, she was replaced by Irish singer Deirdre Shannon. In 2006, she returned to record the New Journey CD and DVD and toured extensively with the group in the US and Japan in 2006 and 2007. She has been featured in Celtic Woman: The Greatest Journey Essential Collection.
In 2007, following the filming of Celtic Woman's Christmas DVD at the Helix, Dublin, Méav left Celtic Woman to concentrate on her solo career. She performed a series of solo concerts in New England, USA.
In 2009, she returned to the stage performing in her native Dublin to rave reviews. She also gave birth to her second daughter Catherine and recorded "Where the Sunbeams Play" for the Disney film Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure.
In 2010, she was a special guest of Órla Fallon's Celtic Christmas concert in Nashville singing "Do You Hear What I Hear?" in a duet with Fallon, her solo version of "O Holy Night" accompanied by harp and the finale song "Here We Come A-wassailing" with the rest of the cast including American singing stars David Archuleta and Vince Gill, recorded, aired on PBS and released on CD and DVD.
Méav participated in a concert of world music at Chambord Castle, France, entitled "Divinas", along with Yulia Townsend and Persian-born Israeli singer Rita. Méav also featured as a guest soloist on the Celtic Woman Christmas album Home for Christmas. This was the first time Méav had appeared with Celtic Woman since she left the group in 2007. Méav was also featured in the Celtic Woman PBS special, Home for Christmas, which was recorded on 7 August 2013. In January 2012, Méav took part in the television special, Quest Beyond the Stars which took place at Abbey Road Studios, London. She released a new solo album, The Calling, on Warner Music in Autumn 2013 and she participated in CW's 10th anniversary tour from March 6 to Easter 2015.

Órlagh Fallon, professionally known as Órla Fallon, is an Irish soloist, songwriter and former member of the group Celtic Woman and the chamber choir Anúna.
Early life and education
Fallon was born in Knockananna, Ireland. She plays the harp and sings traditional Irish music, most often in the Irish language. Fallon studied at Mater Dei Institute of Education, in Dublin. She has performed for the Pope and the President of Ireland and at Carnegie Hall.
Early career
Her debut album, The Water is Wide, was released in Europe in 2000 and in North America in 2006. In 2005, she was featured on The Duggans album Rubicon along with peers Moya Brennan and other members of Clannad.
Celtic Woman
In 2004, Fallon sent a demo offer to composer David Downes, who was then working on the concept of Celtic Woman. Due to her unique vocal abilities, Downes contacted Fallon and asked if she would like to be a part of Celtic Woman, then only envisaged to be a one-night show. Fallon agreed, and became one of the founding members of the group. In some songs, Fallon has performed the harp as well as singing - some examples of the songs she has performed are "Isle of Innisfree" and "Carrickfergus". She has also performed the harp for fellow Celtic Woman member Chloe Agnew's performance of Guun's "Ave Maria".
Fallon was featured in the self-titled debut album Celtic Woman, Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration and Celtic Woman: A New Journey, as well as in the tie-in PBS television specials and DVDs filmed in 2004, 2007, and 2006 respectively. She also toured with the group in 2005 on the inaugural North American Tour, the 2006-07 A New Journey tour, and again in 2007-08 on the second A New Journey tour.
In 2009, Fallon announced that she would be leaving Celtic Woman to have a full break and spend time with her family, and was replaced as a member of Celtic Woman by actress and vocalist Alex Sharpe.
Post-Celtic Woman[edit]
In 2009, Fallon appeared as a guest vocalist on Jim Brickman's "It's a Beautiful World" tour and PBS special, and released her second album Distant Shore in September of that year. This was followed in March 2010 with her third album Music of Ireland: Welcome Home. In December 2010, Fallon released a PBS Celtic Christmas special and tie-in CD, titled Órla Fallon's Celtic Christmas, the first time any former Celtic Woman member had starred in their own PBS special. In this special, as well as Fallon's own songs, there were also songs which featured a few guest singers, including former fellow Celtic Woman member Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, in which they sang a duet together ("Do you hear what I hear"), and American Idol runner up David Archuleta, who joined Fallon on stage to perform "Silent Night", "Pat a Pan", and the finale song of "Here we come A-Wassailing", which Ní Mhaolchatha was also featured in. This was the second Christmas album she recorded, the first being Winter, Fire & Snow: A Celtic Christmas Collection in September 2010.
In March 2011, Fallon released another album, Órla Fallon: My Land, which tied in with another PBS special. Both PBS special were produced by The Elevation Group and WNET. Another solo album, Lullaby Time, was released in 2012.
She is married to husband John and has a son named Freddie

FAQ:
Q: What is Orlagh Fallon's birthday?
A: August 24, 1974
Q: How do you spell her name? Orla, Órla, or Órlagh?
A: It depends on the day and who you're asking. On her birth certificate it's Órlagh. It is an Irish name and when pronounced properly it sounds like Orla. So to keep people from struggling with her name she spells it Órla for publishing and touring purposes. Any of the three spellings are acceptable.
Q: What kind of harp does Órlagh play?
A: Órlagh is sponsored by Salvi harps and they provide her with a lever harp whenever she needs one. During the original Celtic Woman tour, Órlagh had her own harp shipped to the US from Ireland which was a bit nerve racking for her. As Celtic Woman gained popularity she gained a sponsor and a tour harp. She also played the Salvi on her album Distant Shore.
