This is the first interview Hayley has done in a while. I haven’t watched the whole thing, but she mentioned the death of her brother in one of them

This makes me worry in a way with this most recent move.

I feel they are rushing too much with replacing members. According to Wikipedia, 2 members had come on board recently and now Ciara is gone. She was only on for a few months if even that.

If they keep doing this, I feel Celtic Woman is on a slippery slope which they might not recover from.

Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.

I started previously that Ciara could have wanted to be a permanent member, but juggling BIIRD and CW might be a bit much. She might have realized that recently, hence the announcement of Kate

So are we thinking May 20th for Ciara

I think someone close to her posted that she already had something booked.

So each girl has one solo?

Where did you hear this? Just curious.

They deleted the pics of Tara & Emma at the bottom of the CW website (Tours & Tickets, Store, etc). 

There are four pics of the "CW model" right now.

The fact Caitríona & Ciara are announced as “new members”makes it sound like Emma & Tara are gone and not returning. Emma hasn’t been on stage since the 20 tour ended so a warning sign there

According to a TikTok comment, Emma has confirmed that she’s coming back after her maternity leave, which would presumably be up soon. Obviously, that’s not the most reliable source, but I can say that Emma has been singing a lot (gigs, especially at weddings) shown by her Instagram.

I can’t say anything for Tara, but Celtic Woman has done (from what I can tell) much more showing off of Caitríona than they have Ciara. Caitríona has been on their official social media speaking about the new album and has done similar promotional stuff to Mairéad and Muirgen. Maybe Ciara is just more private, but from what I’ve seen, she hasn’t done any such promotions. I believe Tara posted something about the album (which would make sense because she’s on it), but I cannot confirm as unfortunately, I do not currently have access to my Instagram.

It could be possible that Caitríona is staying but Emma comes back to replace another member…? I don’t think that’s the case, but Mairéad did just record a new solo album and maybe Muirgen would want to pursue opportunities elsewhere…? For all we know, they’re returning to the original four vocalists lineup, although I highly doubt that’s the case.

I could see Mairead C leaving after the Christmas tour if Emma comes back. Ronan is also a busy singer and Mairead might want to take a break from touring again and spend more time with her family.

Tara might also want to quit touring for a while with her child just being normal and Ciara could be with us for a little bit

I'm guessing Nollaig na mBan is an original?

I know Codail A Linbh is a lullaby.
