Oh my god. I suppose congratulations must be in order.
How far along would she be by Christmas? There’s a slim chance that she might still be able to go. Susan toured up till she was around six months pregnant, right?
I hope she’ll still stay with CW…but we’ve lost Emma and Tara for the same reason as well. I do wonder if maybe it’s to do with CW management not being able to provide accommodations for an infant on tour. But Mairéad just announced a new single early next year, so she’ll still maintain her solo career. Obviously, what’s most important is her happiness and health, but I am afraid this could mean another lineup change for CW.
I mean i highly doubt she’ll be on this next tour, she took all references to cw out of her bios about four months ago. I take it that is when she officially left, but I’m just glad we got to have her back for about three more years after she had originally left before postcards.
I noticed this as well. I also think that's why none of the ladies posted about the Christmas tour yet. It would look odd if only 3 of the 4 re-posted the Christmas tour promos. I am guessing they are waiting to see if she will be on the Christmas tour (wishful thinking) or who her replacement will be. Please let it be a former CW, like Emma.
I am also glad she came back after her first break from CW. I am super thankful I got to meet her in person.
I’m really hoping we get Chloë back at least for a tour, kind of doubtful about if she would, but I just think that her voice would be amazing paired with Caitriona’s and Muirgen’s. I feel like it would sound a bit more like Postcards which of course is darling. 🥰 But a new member would also be lovely! Hopefully they announce it sooner than last year with announcing Caitriona and Ciara, I do prefer more timely updates, especially since I think that for a lot of people, deciding whether or not to go to the tours depends on who the members are, more so now that you might have to make a full trip out to see them.
If it's just for a temp 3-4 weeks for the Symphony tour, I'd love to see Susan.
I kind of like what you said earlier about Emma potentially rejoining…Méav was kind of the go-to replacement person for transitional periods for a while, and then it was Susan, so it would be interesting if Emma would be a sort of third-generation successor to that role. But it probably is more likely that Susan would take over if this was temporary. I would rather there be an old member returning than there be a new one, especially if it’s a temporary replacement. But it could also be nice to see some new talent, so I’m not opposed to someone new, change just frightens me.
