That means a substitute for the Christmas tour.

Oh my god. I suppose congratulations must be in order.
How far along would she be by Christmas? There’s a slim chance that she might still be able to go. Susan toured up till she was around six months pregnant, right?
I hope she’ll still stay with CW…but we’ve lost Emma and Tara for the same reason as well. I do wonder if maybe it’s to do with CW management not being able to provide accommodations for an infant on tour. But Mairéad just announced a new single early next year, so she’ll still maintain her solo career. Obviously, what’s most important is her happiness and health, but I am afraid this could mean another lineup change for CW.

I mean i highly doubt she’ll be on this next tour, she took all references to cw out of her bios about four months ago. I take it that is when she officially left, but I’m just glad we got to have her back for about three more years after she had originally left before postcards.

Ah, fair. That would also coincide with her upcoming solo work. I guess having a kid would also be a decent gateway to leaving. I’ll miss her greatly, though!! No one had stage presence like she did!

I noticed this as well. I also think that's why none of the ladies posted about the Christmas tour yet. It would look odd if only 3 of the 4 re-posted the Christmas tour promos. I am guessing they are waiting to see if she will be on the Christmas tour (wishful thinking) or who her replacement will be. Please let it be a former CW, like Emma.
I am also glad she came back after her first break from CW. I am super thankful I got to meet her in person. ;D

I’m really hoping we get Chloë back at least for a tour, kind of doubtful about if she would, but I just think that her voice would be amazing paired with Caitriona’s and Muirgen’s. I feel like it would sound a bit more like Postcards which of course is darling. 🥰 But a new member would also be lovely! Hopefully they announce it sooner than last year with announcing Caitriona and Ciara, I do prefer more timely updates, especially since I think that for a lot of people, deciding whether or not to go to the tours depends on who the members are, more so now that you might have to make a full trip out to see them.

Wait…by “new single”, do we think that was their term for the child, or are they actually releasing a new song as well?

I think it means their baby. Very clever. ;)

I know we all like her but it seems like the CW references may have been a warning sign that she is pregnant and will not return.

Well, didn't she take those out a few months ago? I don't think she would've been pregnant yet...I'm not saying she's not leaving, but she could've already been leaving to pursue a solo career. Lisa K did something kind of similar.
Oh, and happy birthday! My sister was also born on this date :)
-
I am so happy for them, but sad for us!! She is such an amazing singer, with, as has been said, a fantastic stage presence!!
-
This begs to question now that we will see this lineup record these new songs now instead with another member which this has commonly been a thing that occurs unlike perhaps some members leaving after full filling a recording Lisa K for example.

I mean, if they’d already recorded something, Mairéad would presumably still be on it…she could also still record while pregnant even if she doesn’t tour, especially if she winds up staying with CW.

That can be true, it's just to me will go down by which direction they'll go, it's interesting still not being able to predict what is next.

If it's just for a temp 3-4 weeks for the Symphony tour, I'd love to see Susan. ;D

I kind of like what you said earlier about Emma potentially rejoining…Méav was kind of the go-to replacement person for transitional periods for a while, and then it was Susan, so it would be interesting if Emma would be a sort of third-generation successor to that role. But it probably is more likely that Susan would take over if this was temporary. I would rather there be an old member returning than there be a new one, especially if it’s a temporary replacement. But it could also be nice to see some new talent, so I’m not opposed to someone new, change just frightens me.

This IG post makes a lot of sense now. I theorized that she may have wanted to spend more time with her family
