One show left with the best crew 💫🫶💛

Feel like the luckiest girl I got to live out this childhood dream over the last 2 months.

Unforgettable @celticwomanofficial 💙🩵 see you tomorrow Newfoundland!

If this is true I would be sad. She did a great job when I saw her this tour. I wish she would have stayed on with CW. Who are they going to have as a fiddle player now mid-tour?

Wow. The thought of that is…oddly terrifying. Kate’s a pretty great violinist. And it’s weird to think that she’d be gone so soon.

Now, it is entirely possible that she just worded this post oddly and she really is just speaking of the end of this tour. There’s only one show left. But it is really worded strangely.

My first thought would be that Tara would be coming back, but both her Instagram bio and her website say she left in 2025. But it would be rather strange to have another brand new violinist so early after the previous one joined. Ciara was already rather odd, her and Kate is bizarre. That makes me think Kate is staying. I don’t think it would be very good for CW if we lost three violinists in less than a year.
