Mairead Nesbitt: Celtic Spells

I found something interesting while searching for tour dates...

Apparently there's a new Mairead Nesbitt show coming called Celtic Spells.

It was mentioned on per profile on Ed Keane Associates Artist Management and Booking:

A new production by one of the Founder's of Celtic Women, Nesbitt returns to the stage of storytelling, spellbinding traditions, with Celtic Spells.

Star-crossed lovers are forbidden by their religions from being together - they must leave their homes and families, cross the ocean to build a life, a family...and cross time in the lives they create...

I haven't been able to find any corroborating evidence so far, so take it with a grain of salt for now, but it sounds interesting.

I think I might need to reserve a couple more vacation days for this.

sounds interesting.   

Mairead said during her chat with "Louie B Free" today that the show is targeted for launch in 2021.

Since I live in Florida, I'd normally go to this show.  BUT, I already have a ticket to see CW in Morgantown, WV the day before.    And, no it's not possible to fly.  Tallahasse has limited flights even though it's the capital of FL.

There's a Celtic Spells album coming soon!

The Celtic Spells show is scheduled to start touring in 2023.

Tom, is there a schedule out for Celtic Spells yet?

eyes caught the California part!!

On her interview on today on Jim Masters TV (https://youtu.be/bF3YWV_BSmE), Máiréad announced the Celtic Spells CD is scheduled to release in March 2023.

The first single, Man of the House, releases Friday, October 28th, 2022.

Does anyone know if Mairead does Meet & Greets since she went solo?

I sent an inquiry to her website, but have not received a reply.

I saw one of her solo shows in 2019 and she had a meet and greet after the show. It was a lot of fun!
