What's interesting to me is how some CW just leave w/o any word or announcement. And some CW have the 'door is always open' policy. For example, Meav came back a few times as we all know. And even has her new album on promoted on the CW website right now. That's a new one.

Anyways, my $0.02 is that Mairead will have the 'door is always open' policy. So I can see her coming back for limited runs (specials, Christmas Symphony, substituting on tour, etc). Having kids is hard work!

I’m assuming you’re referring to when she returned in 2023 and not a potential return? In that case, it’s definitely getting to see her live and making eye contact while she did those high notes on River! I still get chills hearing that song, and she went even higher in person!

I also love the 2024 lineup…I’m a bit biased, as this was when I first got into the group as an active fan and not a passive listener, but I love the unique vocal styles of her, Emma, and Muirgen and how they blended together! I Know My Love is still a standout track in CW history to me.

Oh I went off on a tangent w/o answering the question.

My fav moments from Mairead coming back in 2023-2026:
- Finally meeting her in person.
- The Cinema Paradiso dress.
- Dulaman from the 20th w/ Meav.

Thank you for answering, your first response is a valid point and even if a member departed a message of we would like to thank her for being a prominent member of Celtic Woman. I don't know why some members had no announcement off of Celtic Woman when they exited.

Muirgen and Mairead C are phenomenal but Emma alongside well rounds them out!

My most favorite thing from Mairead coming back:
Cinema Paradiso - everything including that dress, great she had her own Italian opera song aside Nella Fantasia, Ave Maria, The Prayer which original as Chloe solos.

Seeing her sing and blend alongside Muirgen!! The potential and wow the two had a duet on A New Era Tour.

Her appearance with Chloe and Lisa K, joy being present with Mairead N again!

See her take on Dawning of the Day, Wild Mountain Thyme as examples of if she had stayed likely to been part of Postcard's of Ireland instead of Muirgen.
