If Órla Was Available For The 20th Anniversary Show, What Solo Would She Sing?

I think most likely Siúil A Rún, though maybe Isle Of Innisfree.

Yes, I think of those and Carrickfergus.

But since Meav sang a new song for the 20th that she sang on her own previously, I was trying to think of a similar song for Orla. I like Red Is The Rose, which Mairead added later as a single. So that would have brought the whole thing full circle.

That’s an interesting thought. I thought Méav got an original solo because she’s collaborated with CW so much over the years. Also, her most well known solos, Danny Boy and Dúlamán, were turned into group songs, and maybe they didn’t think her other ones would match the album’s theme (though She Moved Through The Fair would have…).

If she did sing Red Is The Rose, I wonder if we’d still get a Mairéad solo for the 20th anniversary. Maybe we could get her version of it alongside Muirgen’s rendition of Caledonia? Then we could get five singles with a solo of each member and the group performance of Spanish Lady.
