Any last round of speculations on songs or guesses? 

@dbbii : That is a very cool idea. Free M&G opportunity.

Oh wow. The tour starts in just a few days. I was looking at other concert dates and I noticed there are a lot of seats available. Hmm. I wonder if no shows on PBS (and lack of publicity) is hurting ticket sales.

I will be going to Wilkes-Barre, PA on Macrch 8th at the Kirby Center.

Is anyone planning on meeting for dinner before? There are 2 restaurants near the Kirby Center (within close walking distance)- Rodanos and Franklins.
There are also a Denny's approximately 10 minutes driving distance away and a Cracker Barrel which is also approximately 10 minutes away.

I thought it was music sheet for Kate as the way the notes you'd assume it was for the violin but the group version only has a violin accompany.

Here are four possibilities

1. Opener of the tour is as same as 20th Anniversary Dulaman Group Version. The music sheet was shared because Caitriona is new so it's Her first time.

2. Opener of Act 2 same group version

3. Back as a solo performance which means she is our new seaweed queen.

4. Something completely new, duet, which is possible but unlikely

It says “Voice” at the top, so it’s not Kate’s. Also, I love the term “seaweed queen”, I am definitely stealing that! 😄

I think option 2 is most likely, but we don’t know for sure! It’s fun to speculate though. Again, to everyone who goes to these shows: DROP THE SETLISTS!!!!!!

Caitríona posted a montage of photos from rehearsals on Instagram. One of them shows sheet music for Dúlamán. (I attached it here, you can see it in the top right corner.)

Do we think it will be the same version used in the 20th anniversary show? I’m inclined to think yes, as it’s Caitríona’s sheet music (last time it was a solo, Muirgen sang it) and that edition is still very new.

I was originally going to maybe bring this up in a new post. It could go either ways keeping Dulaman the group version as a 20th Special. Muirgen  doing as a solo was at the time when she replaced the spot of Mairead C. Another possibility could be having it with just Mairead C and Muirgen as a duet form might be interesting.

The only issue is that it was Caitríona’s sheet music, so unless they’re in the habit of trading sheet music, she has a part in it as well. I could sort of see Dúlamán as a Caitríona solo, because her being a Sean-Nós singer and rooted in the Irish tradition has very much been at the forefront of her career, but then again, Éabha was very similar and they still gave Dúlamán to Mairéad.

A duet would be very interesting…imagine Muirgen and Caitríona doing it together! I do miss the duet between Méav and one of the choir members that we had long ago, and it could be cool to see them sort of remake that.
