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

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.

Here's an interesting fact that I found while watching CT cruise videos. Chloe went on the 2014 CT cruise as a guest performer!

Thanks for the heads up. That's a nice surprise, as it's been a while. I also noticed she redesigned her website. https://meav.com/

Wow! Had no idea of these but did hear with Meav
anyone know the timestamp of Meav..>
I think Susan was there to witness the taping, would of loved seeing a capture of her in the audience too!
At the end of Over the Rainbow, right after Mairead gives Megan a little kiss on the cheek, there's a quick shot of Meav in the audience.

Fuuuun! Will need to rematch. Don't know if anyone has noticed, but Caitriona Sherlock is in the audience clapping at the end of Maeve's Lay Your Head Down!!!!
My first reaction to this thread was very similar. - Paul Byrom from CT in the audience at the 20th. - If I remember correctly, Meav, Ronan, Glenn Murphy in the audience of Ancient Land. What's also fun is spotting people I've met from this forum in the audience.

It is interesting you both mentioned streaming or online.
It made me wonder how much money they potentially made from recent online only content. Google says YT pays $2-$5 per 1000 views. So...
- Christmas Cards from Ireland. I Saw Two Ships and Toys Waltz have roughly 200k views. That's roughly $1000 per.
- 20th bonus songs. Spancil Hill and Red Is the Rose have roughly 20k views. That's roughly $100 per.
That's just a data point out of curiosity. They probably need a marketing consultant to see what makes financial sense. But that's why most of the CW have side jobs. It is tough to make money in the music industry now!

What do we WANT to be next?
- I'd like a new album also. Especially since they toured with a title like New Era. There should be a new album.
- I want the lineup to stay the same. Too many changes lately!

Quote: "Makes you wonder if they ever once tested a full fall tour on Symphony how much sold out they'd be."
For various reasons, I only went to 1 show this Spring. In past years, I've done as many as 10. The one I went to was in a 2,500 seat venue. It wasn't full. Compare to the last time I was at Red Rocks where there were about 9,000 people. It's not just CW. I went to a CT show this year; same thing. Not a full house. So, what's going to happen with the Christmas tour attendance?
It seems like a lot of shows are not sold out. I go to various Broadway type shows in my area (there are 3 decent venues within 45 minutes). None of the ones recently have been sold out. Is it the economy? Maybe. Is it the show/music? Maybe. Putting on a show, especially one that does one night stands, has to be expensive. When does it mot make sense economically?
I looked at a few of the venues, and ticket sales look slow. Granted, it is only July and people aren't making Christmas plans yet. I'm surprised the ladies haven't re-posted the tour promo on their social media. Don't they usually do that? That could only help.

Here's an interesting article on Women of Eire. https://www.theirishworld.com/lets-come-together/Two of the 12, as mentioned earlier, are Tara Howley and Caitriona Sherlock (not the Caitriona quoted in the article though).
