I was also wondering the same thing. I feel like something else is coming. Either a new album and/or a 2nd half of the tour. It seems kind of curious to promote "A New Era" w/o a new album, and/or to skip half the US while in North America. I can see that the touring is more manageable to possibly do two tours @ 2 months each vs one tour @ 4 months. For example if they add a Fall Tour later. That's all just speculation & wishful thinking of course.

Hi David, One comment on the setlist. I personally like it when they end with Auld Lang Syne. Anyways, I love your IG pics, and your stage door stories! That's awesome that they know you. You're well-known to well-known people. The screenshot you posted on here seriously looks like you are on stage with Muirgen.  Thanks for posting. Are you seeing any more Christmas shows? Like I said earlier, I need to figure out my 2026. Maybe I'll see if they offer paid M&G somewhere close. I would hate to spend money on a road trip, and there's no stage door access and no M&G. Merry Christmas! - Andy

Hi David!!!
Thanks for posting the setlist & pics. I've been looking online but didn't see anything. A lot of people like to get the first peek at what the Christmas dresses look like. I love your IG pics.
Anything worth noting at the merch table?
Please post back if you go to more shows.
Hope you are doing well.

Hey! Does anyone know if there’s stage door access at the Texas Trust theater? Or is anyone planning to wait by stage door? Thanks! 🥰
IDK personally. But my advice is: 1. Before the concert, look for a campus map of the theater. If you're lucky, you can find one with the stage door location. 2. The only real way to know for sure is go early and walk around the perimeter of the theater. And look for buses. Some but not all have the stage door clearly marked. @VegasDavid. I will post back after I've had time to look at all your pics. Great report from what I've read so far!

Hi David, Thanks! Interesting they have a Christmas ornament. I'm always looking for autographed merch. But maybe they'll add that later on the tour??? I was looking forward to seeing you & everyone else, but nothing around here for Christmas or Spring Tour. Hmm. I will have to figure out 2026. Anyways, I think a lot of people appreciate the report. Especially since you went to the first show. So feel free to post more! - Andy Is this setlist going to be the same for each concert? I’m seeing the one in Grand Prairie on Sunday.
The setlist is generally the same. They may add or delete like 1-2 songs based on time restrictions. We've seen shows at casinos generally (but not always) skip an intermission & delete a couple songs. They may also add a song or two based on local favorites (e.g. Feliz Navidad).

Welcome! You are blessed to live in Ireland! You can see a lot of the local concerts that don't tour internationally. Like from former CW ladies.
Maybe I can ask you a question first. How do you pronounce your last name? I think Ciara also uses "Murphy" as her last name. Does that sound the same as Mhurchú?
Anyways, have fun on here!

EDIT: Thank you to CWazyTom for sharing options 3, 4, and 6! Also, Hayley has a lovely version of this song as well, and Caitríona sang a nice rendition at Éabha’s Celtic World Forum, and I highly encourage checking those out!
Yes, Hayley's version is a classic. Here's a rare one from Alex Sharpe. She even titled it "MAY IT BE - Celtic Woman (Rare performance)". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIHCCpevPz4

This is on PBS today nationwide, and on the app starting today. As I said earlier: - At the 1 hour mark, they played a clip of You Raise Me Up from the 20th.
Lisa Kelly did a 1 min recorded intro from her office as an intro and 'thanks to PBS'. Also: - Josh Groban ~ 10min mark (video). - David Foster ~ before the 1hr mark (video). - Lindsey Stirling ~ 1hr20min mark (live in studio!!!). - Lea Salonga ~ after the 1hr30 mark (live in studio!!!). Also, if you are reading this today: HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I got to take my time to read your review. (I don't like to rush through things.) Very nice review, and well thought out! Thanks! Auld Lang Syne is always one of my fav songs at the Christmas concerts. This version is distinctly different from my two fav versions (Lisa L's version as you mentioned, and The Magic of Christmas w/ "opera Mairead"). I also need to listen to the album more to pick out my real favs. For ex, I notice something new in Silver Bells and Drummer Boy each time I hear them. They did a great job of making it new, or doing something different at least.

I have not read your post all the way through yet. But I did want to say quickly:
Thanks for posting your album review. In general, I would love to see more album and concert reviews on here.
I'll post back later...

Any idea how we can get people on here to join in on the CW contest based on this contest will tell if we get anymore form CW
Do you mean people who are already members here? Maybe they're simply not reading that thread, although I'm sure anyone would want free signed merch from anyone. I got a couple ideas. 1. Rename the thread to include the words "WIN" and "FREE". Click bait. 2. Can you send a special broadcast email to all users? I belong to another forum (different subject altogether), and they send broadcast emails every now & then if it's something special.

I went ahead and bought tickets for the March 25th show in Clearwater, FL. Have seen the girls there before a couple of times; mostly via PBS tickets.
So, since I am not a member of the venue, I couldn't buy tickets until Friday. I was able to get tickets in Row J. Most of the closer seats required you to become a member, with, of course, an additional fee. I the tickets (2) were $92 each.
As I was checking out, I had the option to purchase a M&G. OK, what the heck. Paragraph of you get a photo, opportunity to talk the the girls (not holding my breath), etc. They wanted $100 a person.
So after you add State Sales Tax, "Tourist" Tax, and a Service Charge, 2 tickets with M&G cost me just under $450! I've paid this much in the past, but it was for better seats, plus I could sometimes get a tax credit for a donation to PBS.
In the past I have gone to 10 to 12 shows a year. I know this is a short tour right now, so we shall see how I feel after seeing this show.
10-12 shows a year?! I admire your dedication.
I should probably get started on nagging my mother for tickets (half joking on the nagging part, don’t worry 😭)…she seemed pretty excited when I told her about the Myrtle Beach concert, so hopefully she can get tickets for us as an early Christmas gift or something.
How do you become a member of a venue?
dbbii knows a lot more than me. But from what I know you can become a member of a venue by subscribing to a season pass to all shows or selected shows, or just making a huge donation. At a recent show (where I was with other CWF members btw), some staff told us CW were at a M&G after the concert. There were none publicly offered. So we assumed it was for members or donors.
