Celtic Woman: Ties of the Past

On Emma's FB post sharing the behind the scenes image of the 20th anniversary show, the Helen Jordan Stage school posted a pic of Emma and other students being a part of Chloe's mom pantomime. The person circled in black is Emma and I think the blonde in the far upper right is Chloe

Nice find! I merged this into this old "Ties of the Past" discussion where we were keeping track of the cool past associations between Celtic Woman performers.

How proud must their instructors be, knowing two of their students went on to celebrate the 20th anniversary the most beautiful show in the world, together on stage?

This has been probably been mentioned before but Caitriona knew a few of the ladies before joining CW. She also performed at Eabha's Celtic forum if I'm not mistaken

Correct!

At the Forum events, she was a performer along with: Éabha, Megan, Mairéad Carlin, Máiréad Nesbitt, Tara Howley, James Greenan, Glenn Murphy, Orla, Ronan, Susan ... I may have missed a few.

Before that, she got to meet the Postcards linup (Chloë, Tara McNeill, Muirgen, Megan) in 2022 in Killarney. I may have gotten her that Meet and Greet.

Wait…so you met Caitríona before she joined?? That’s quite the flex! How did this happen?

I met her on one of Éabha's Patreon Zoom calls in the early days of Patreon and started following her because her voice is really soothing. We knew we were both going to the Celtic Woman concerts in Killarney so our friend group met up with her for dinner before a few of the shows. I got to chat with her a bit at the Celtic World Forum events and had an Irish lesson with her at the 2024 Forum event. She also did singing lessons at the Forum that year. We were both at the Celtic Woman 20th Anniversary DVD recording as well.

That’s incredible…I’m rather envious! You seem to travel to their concerts quite a lot…what job do you have that enables this? Just curious!
