Quote

And just like that, our North American tour has reached its final night. Newfoundland, thank you from the bottom of my heart..tonight is one I’ll never forget.

To the three courageous, strong women I’ve had the privilege of standing beside, thank you for your brilliance on stage and your friendship beyond it. Sharing this journey with you has meant more than words can say.

To our band and crew, thank you for everything you do. And to our wee Bill and Jodie, thank you for your endless warmth and wonderfulness.

And finally to my Stephanie, who I’ve been through thick and thin with, and makes me feel like a million dollars every night.

Fourteen years on, and as one chapter quietly closes, I carry every moment with deep gratitude.

Hopefully I formatted the quote correctly. But “as one chapter quietly closes”? That sounds really ominous and not like a good sign for CW. Muirgen posted a similar message as well, but she tends to be more sentimental in her language. But those posts combined with the Kate speculation has me worried. Moya Brennan just died, I can’t take something happening to CW as well. My mental health is already practically nonexistent.

What do we think this means? Am I being too overdramatic? (Please tell me I am)

Hopefully just grateful for the opportunity looking forward to what’s next. Wonder if they’ll take a break and then record sometime this summer

I would be heartbroken if CW ceased to exist. I've met some of the most awesome people (online) because of them and they are one of the best artists that I have ever supported.

I hope whoever in CW management can fix the situation before it is too late. I don't want CW to die.

Hi!
Here is my two cents, (or really just one cent).😃 I don't think Kate ever planned to stay for long. If you look at her original video announcing her joining CW, at the end she says something like, "I have wanted this gig for a long time and am so excited." To me, "gig" implies a temporary job, not a permanent placement. She also never added Celtic Woman to her jobs on her bio on Facebook. Anyway, perhaps I am reading too much into it?
Hope it all works out!! I agree it is bit concerning!

I also agree that I never saw Kate staying for long, more so because she has loads of her own ventures such as her wedding/event planning business which I’m sure takes up a lot of her time. Ciara was also just a “stand in” or “guest” from the beginning since she never planned to switch from Biird to Cw full time so we’ll see what time brings us! 🥰

I would assume to guess Kate would stay for at least one recording. Now if that possibility is not in the picture for say one whole year much like when Mairead C left the group in 2020 then it's not surprising. Perhaps Kate knows that the slot she filled was originally for Ciara. Do we know if there's not a possibility of Ciara taking back the role after her tour endeavors with the other group, that be if needed like Kate leaving.
