Lovely, and much better than the one put up on Facebook. I especially like the parts filmed in the sunrise and on the beach  :)

So according to Susan, she'll be featured in two songs on PBS special: May it be (of course) and one of the three they usually do (parting glass, danny boy or amazing grace). She mentioned Wexford as the recording location. Any guesses?

The official 2022 calendar is now up for pre-order on the Celtic Collections site as is a set of exclusive postcards. The included images are shots of the members in locations across Ireland while the PBS special was being filmed: https://www.celticcollections.com/collections/celtic-woman

Here's some more (detailed) information about the PBS special:

"The journey begins in Ireland's Ancient East with a return visit to Johnstown Castle in County Wexford, where the group delivers a spine-tingling rendition of the ever-popular "Amazing Grace". Then on to the monastic site at Glendalough in County Wicklow for Megan's performance of "Bonny Portmore". Next up are the spectacular seascapes and cliffs in County Antrim where the group performs a brand new rendition of "The Dawning of the Day". They then move on to a reconstructed early 20th-century Irish village in County Tyrone to perform "Beeswing", a beautiful folk song. Then on to the "Wild Atlantic Way", stopping off at Lissadell House in County Sligo, the holiday home of renowned Irish poet W.B. Yeats to hear Muirgen singing "Down by the Salley Gardens". At Kylemore Abbey in Connemara, County Galway, Chloë delivers a stunning rendition of "Angel". In County Kerry, Tara performs the magnificent Bach violin solo "Where Sheep May Safely Graze" in the medieval monastic ruins of Muckross Abbey. In the Chapel at Trinity College in Dublin, Susan offers a powerful rendition of "May it Be"."

Sourced from the WITF website: https://www.witf.org/2021/11/17/celtic-woman-postcards-from-ireland/

I'm a bit disappointed they didn't choose some farming fields for Tara to do "Where Sheep May Safely Graze" because well, look at the song title, but I'm especially looking forward to seeing what setting the Chapel at Trinity College will provide for "May it Be". On a side note, "Down by the Salley Gardens" was written by W.B. Yeats, so I find it a weird, but good coincidence to film the song somewhere that's related to him!

So interesting they begin with Amazing Grace near Johnstown Castle ? It notes "the group". Now I took a screenshot of the postcards pic from the shop and zoomed it and saw Susan with Megan and Chloe. I don't know if Muirgen is also there but why would she be not on. If the direction of the director and songs still have to remain three girls I would guessed it be Danny Boy. There's no proof it could be The Parting Glass as the last number or it could even be Amazing Grace. We won't know until we see it. I would guessed Parting Glass in four girls which for that song was never done before with four singers. If the postcard is any indication it's only three did they choose Susan which she wanted to do?  This is an interesting game of I wonder what will it be!

The order of songs named doesn't seem right. That aside, Where Sheep May Safely Graze might be beautiful in monastic ruins, and they are always in the green. There might even be sheep. I still don't understand why it's a violin solo, when this title in particular refers to a sung aria, and the instrumental has a different title, but Tara's version is so lovely, that it makes up for that.

Found this decription on my PBS Station mentioning a song called The Wild Atlantic Way. Does anyone here know this song?

Celtic Woman performs a variety of tunes from 14 different locations throughout Ireland; songs include "Amazing Grace," "Bonny Portmore," "The Dawning of the Day," "The Wild Atlantic Way" and more.

That might be a typo. They'll be in "The Wild Atlantic Way" but I don't think they're singing a song that has that title. If so, though, I hope this helps: https://youtu.be/iuBwEeQ2FI4
