I guess CW could do a live special without PBS, but given how much PBS has been a part of CW since the beginning, they may not want to.

Celtic Woman / Just a theory
« on: July 09, 2026, 04:29:10 PM »
I’ve mentioned before that CW maybe touring less do to costs and the touring load taking a toll on the performers

They have yet to do another live recording. Due to Congress cutting funds to PBS, another special may be too expensive for PBS to air. CW LTD’s record label parent is Universal. It’s been a while since I’ve taken business law, but there’s probably bilateral financial incentives between PBS and Universal. PBS might not have the money to pay Universal for royalties to co produce and air another special.

This is just a theory, so don’t take my word for it

I tried to go on today and got a 403 error.

I’m guessing a hardware or forum host failure

Being that all the World Cup European tourists all flocking to Bucees, it wouldn't surprise me that CW wanted a souvenir for themselves after their first visit

Some of the earlier tours were around 4 months long.  That's gotta be brutal.  A different bed every night.  What do you do for meals?  And at some point you have to miss your family.  Plus, you have to be "on" every night.  (ok, they do have days off, but...).  So, on some level I'm impressed that the girls stuck it out as long as they did.

There's a post that talks about the issues that Shannon Brown ran into, at least with Celtic Thunder.  Article claims the "company" lost something like 2.7 million pounds.  Is the current production company making money?  Going back, say prior to COVID, most of the shows I went to were pretty full.  Lately, not so much. 

Do I want this to end? NO.  But if it does, I have a bunch of great memories.

Casual fans that ask about the constant line up changes seem to forget that CW is similar to Riverdance in that they’re a touring show, not a regular band. Being on the road for half the year can take its toll on you.

Could Mairead be leaving again to spend more time with her family and Ronan? She has been a part of CW for a long time.

Maybe she wants a break from touring for a while

Megan News / Re: So did Megan get married

Ni Breatnach is an Irish Gaelic version of Welsh. I only know that cause I googled it 😛.

Megan likely uses that name so creepers can’t find her.

Voices of Angels / Re: Voices of Angels Deluxe

Has anyone caught the full lyrics of this version yet? I heard it's on the the New Era setlist

Can I add with the cost of everything going up, people might not be able to travel farther for shows.

That and Ticketmaster, which a lot of venues use, has made going to shows less fun with their obnoxious fees.

Does the lack of funding mean they can’t afford to air anymore CW TV specials?

The NY show was just canceled due to low ticket sales. Lack of exposure might be a factor

Hayley Westenra / Hayley does an interview for Rova NZ
« on: March 02, 2026, 08:58:42 AM »
This is the first interview Hayley has done in a while. I haven’t watched the whole thing, but she mentioned the death of her brother in one of them

Celtic Woman / Re: Celtic Woman: Ties of the Past
« on: January 24, 2026, 11:49:43 AM »
This has been probably been mentioned before but Caitriona knew a few of the ladies before joining CW. She also performed at Eabha's Celtic forum if I'm not mistaken
