Title: What was the most shocking Celtic Woman announcement over the past 5 years?
Post by: CWazyTom on October 03, 2024, 12:33:58 AM
I don't remember if they ever officially announced the 2023 tour was cancelled, so it's not included as an option in the poll.

If you can think of another jaw dropper, let me know and I can add it to the poll.

Hands Down Lisa Lambe!   :P

Why over some other's? Because it's something that's been too long of ever thought of coming!

Could also add Mairead Carlins return for the 20th anniversary to the list of options!

It's quite hard to name just one or two or basically which is the most outside off you're favorite because Hannah's abrupt departure so quick was surprising even though later we could understand why she had to.. Some may been surprised by Lisa Kelly but infact Chloe's return for The Celebration Tour was one as well having both heard them say they are done and would never well I kinda believed that more so for Lisa and to me Chloe just bubbly going along! 😉

Did no 2023 spring tour play a part in Hannah leaving??

I don't remember, but no because I remember Hannah left after the Symphony Tour and Emma was right in with Mairead Carlin rejoining for Spring 2024.

Hannah did the Christmas 2022 tour.
Emma was introduced in May 2023.
Mairead returned in July 2023 + Hannah was announced as leaving then -- later that month they hit the studio to record 20 before taping the concert a month later. 
The Christmas 2023 tour was Emma, Mairead, Muirgen, Tara (seeing that one + 20 four months apart was the first time that I had gone to two back to back Celtic Woman shows with the same four leads).

I'm still wondering if they asked MC to come back because Hannah was leaving. Or if they asked MC to come back and then asked Hannah to leave. If MC didn't come back, it would have been 3 (relatively) "new" singers + Tara for the 20th anniversary.

Thanks for the clarification!  Normally I'm good at remembering timeline years but since 2020 and off years without a tour somehow throws me out of loop since it's long but yet you forget what had happened!

That's something I was actually looking forward and excited about! It's Muirgen second year but it would felt very new with a  new set and new sound I suppose CW hasn't seen yet unless HFC counts. Mairead and Susan weren't new when Destiny happened even though it was Mairead's first special recording. When usually I'm a fanatic of former members rejoining the group. I was also excited if Megan had stayed she be the rookie leader upon the new girls.

Excuse me??? Fire Hannah??? You really think so???
Either way Mairead filled the vacancy left open by Hannah.

My alleged guess was Hannah didn't really realize what she was about to face with the long tour!  ;D but that can be my imagination shouldn't she have knowledge of that before accepting the offer. Something happened between her and management that led her to drop...🤦‍♂️ I have no clue.

Be glad to see Mairead Carlin though.

Oh 100% I missed Mairead's CW presence!
