I found this post while doomstalking on Instagram (like doomscrolling, but you’re specifically stalking someone’s profile, or in this case, their mentions.).
I haven’t seen any other mention of him leaving CW, though, but on the other hand, it seems odd for some random person to post misinformation about a fairly niche subject.
But if this is true, this would imply some sort of mass exodus from CW. As I said when Lloyd Butler left, is this merely a cascade of circumstances causing people to leave, or is there some issue with management or something?
John Hunt did get married recently, so maybe he’s leaving to start a family? However, he hasn’t posted anything about his supposed departure. All of these departures have me so confuzzled :o

To me, it's not unusual that a group keeps changing members, especially when, in the case of CW, they started like 20 years ago.
I keep getting emails from various venues in my area advertising various "tribute" bands. When does CW become a tribute group?

I tend to think it is true also. Although John Hunt's socials still say "Bagpiper for Celtic Woman". So I hope it is not official, and he comes back for the New Era tour. Too many changes... :'(

Not to go off topic, but there is a CW tribute band:

Fun fact: they’re following me on TikTok :)

Yeah, but what’s odd is how many people are leaving right now. This is just after Lloyd Butler left. It’s a bit jarring.
