Mairéad covering River is interesting! Did she get two solos or was this in place of The Prayer? It’s lovely that ye got a special surprise!
Both Mairéad and Muirgen posted covers of Both Sides Now on Instagram (Mairéad’s must have been recent because of her haircut, Muirgen’s was from her StageIt concert with Tara last year). Wouldn’t it be interesting if CW ended up covering that?

Just got home from the concert so I thought I would get my thoughts down while they're still fresh.
They got here from Regina (southeast of us in Saskatoon) which happened to have a major snow storm yesterday and were able to get here safely.
Mairead C was the only one I recognized from the last tour stop here in Saskatoon in 2014.
Mairead said that she was happy to be at the hometown of Joni Mitchell (Who hails from Saskatoon,) how Joni deserved the Juno for Lifetime achievement and sang a cover of "River."
During the concert, the group decided to cover a Dolly Parton song, Jolene.
There was no choir and in a way, it helped the CW members voices come more through on the sound system.
Overall a great concert and I've heard some songs for the first time live that I haven't heard since ANJ or even The Original Show.
Couldn't take photos or audio/video recordings but bought some swag. I was posting an image but it is way too large.

Lynn released a new digital EP on YouTube called Wild and Gentle Things. It's really good! https://youtu.be/LEC0Oj3IJSg?si=CM0h6Hw7gnCaOLhjAs she describes the EP, it's: a collection of mystical and enchanted songs for children (and adults with an inner child!) inspired by the magic of nature and the beauty of wild (and tame) animals! Created as "Parent-Friendly" music that both children and adults can enjoy equally.

Chloeandeahbafan1:
What website are you using to host your photos? This forum uses BBCode syntax. So the link to your photo has to end in something like ".png" or ".jpg". If the link does not end in like that, it is most likely not a direct link and cannot be used here.
For example, Google photos is great for sharing albums and individual photos, e.g. I can view all those photos by clicking in a web browser. But it does not support direct links (i.e. a link to the photo itself in JPG or PNG format). If you tell us what website you are using, there are probably others on here who can tell you if that site supports direct links, and how to do it (if so).

Yes Muirgen does/did play she started playing at 5 years old Here is a AI serch on the topic
She started violin lessons around age 5 but has said she was "terrible at it" and soon gave it up (along with classical flute, drums, and piano) to focus on singing.
Also Hayley plays the violin
as a hobby. Hayley Westenra also learned violin (plus piano, guitar, and recorder) as a child
This is a hard topic has the girls have many hidden talents
Interesting as somewhat only Hayley came to mind.

No have at it
Thank you! Let’s hope I can redeem myself… This member is so far the only CW member from this province in Ireland… Attached for reference is a map detailing the provinces of Ireland. Note that provinces are different from counties, the counties are within provinces.

I didn’t know that! You got me there!
Hayley was the member I was thinking of, as it mentions she learned violin on Wikipedia.
Do you want to go next? Sorry about my blunder 😅
