Is Lisa going to be back with Celtic Woman for the Ten Year Anniversary tour?

  As  far  as  I  know,  I  believe  that  our  Lil'  Lambe  will  be  back for  the  Euro  tour  this  November.    :)

and the Christmas tour

Yep, that's what I heard.

In my opinion and gut feeling, and I hope I am 100% WRONG, I think Symphony will be her last with CW. I base this on what she has been doing this year with her performance on stage this past spring and the fact that she will again be performing on stage in October. I think this is where she wants to take her career. In addition, she has stated she is currently developing her own web (not Facebook) page. I see this as a tool to promote herself and her career after CW.

As I said, I hope I'm wrong. I have followed CW since the beginning and of all the ladies that have been a part of CW, Lil Lambe has been the one that I have really connected with. Since meeting her at many m&g's and she getting to know me, I have really appreciated the famous "Lisa Hugs", waves and blown kisses from the stage, and the tweets she has sent me. Should she choose to leave I will miss her tremendously.

I agree that Lisa L. will do the  Symphony tour and then be done.  Maggie has tweeted that Lynn and Lisa may alternate.  Notice the current CW home site photo only shows Susan and Mairead C --no Lisa L or Lynn.  Don't think it is decided quite yet.  Lynn sounded like she really enjoyed being back with CW.  Lisa Lambe has been on stage with hubby, Simon Morgan also.  Wish all four would stay.  Fingers crossed everybody.

I actually like the idea of them alternating, especially if the other option is Lisa and/or Lynn leaving. It would be nice because then we might be able to keep both of them, although it would be great to have a five-girl line-up again.

Actually, in Misha's review she wrote earlier this year, she said that she talked to Lisa about this, and Lisa said that she made a deal with the management or whatever that if she needs a break she can take one, and that she is still excited for the future of Celtic Woman. So, I'm pretty sure the Symphony Tour won't be her last.

I don't think this  will be her last tour either. The stage production that will be happening at the geighty (sp) theatre (if she is announced as being In the cast as soirse)  It will not interfere with 2015 tour, even if extended a little. In that case she may miss the first few tour dates ( and yes Cle is in the first few) But I would not mind Lynn either so it's ok!  And I did see a pamphlet for her show in Dublin at our hotel but it had no mentions of names. So we will see, and maybe just maybe since craig left the show that Simon might be in the choir, which will help Lisa tremendously! And he actually was in the original taping and has been hangin with Maggie and the rest of the cast so that would be cool! But just a thought!

Now that the European tour is reschedulded, I hope we get some official word on the future line-up soon.

The European tour is planned from 3 - 22 february:

Lisa is still listed in the Breaking Dad cast for the shows in 2015, which take place in the second half of February. That means she could finish 3/4 of European tour, but on the other hand I would find it strange to bring back Lynn for just a few shows in Europe.

As much as I love Lisa, I would be extremely excited if Lynn is going to be on the whole European tour. She is one of my all-time favorite members.

I hope Lisa won't leave CW and I hope we will learn more soon!

While I adore all girls equally, if I'd really have to say that - if I'd have to choose - I'd rather like to see Lynn, too. But don't get me wrong here! I absolutely love Lisa and hope she will return soon!

Right now the only thing I think we are guaranteed is that Lisa will do the upcoming Symphony Tour.  I put the UK in the possible but not definite column for the reason that UK tours have been scheduled in the past and not gone forward.  If it goes forward I think she will be there, though.  Maggie also tweeted that no casting decisions for 2015 have been made, so I am betting we won't hear any of that until January.  Yes, a few developments here and there, like the upcoming launch of Lisalambe.ie could be interpreted this or that way, BUT, Lisa made one key tweet a while back saying that any news, personal or professional, that she decided to make public would come from her on that account, and that no one should put any stock in news that comes from anyplace else.  So, until she herself tweets, what do we really know?  The best bet for now is to just sit tight and make whatever decisions we make about attending or buying tickets based on the information in hand, assuming nothing is guaranteed.  I will be sorry to see Lisa exit if she does, but that doesn't mean she's exited the world altogether, she'll still be performing, just on a different level, and I think, if I read her right, that she will continue to engage with her fans online and otherwise if she possibly can, because she is a people person and genuinely likes interacting with fans, it's not something she does just because she has to.

I am not sure if she is listed in breaking dad or not, yet? The only thing I found was an old advertisement on the theatre web sight from the beginning of this year. I even have a pamphlet from Dublin with no cast listings yet. But if she does it that means no European Germany dates for her though, unless Lynn does that leg of the tour, which would be the most logical explanation if she goes that route. Or if she doesn't do the play she will just tour. And Hopefully that will give her enough time at the end of the plays run to be back in time to rehearse for the tour and kick it off. Which slightly worries me because if that show gets extended she might take off the first week or two of the tour and meet up with the girls, which means there's a chance I may not see her as my show is the end of there first week of the tour... But hopefully not! And I am sure if they will for some reason tape in Cleveland, for some crazy reason, and an interesting possibility that she would want to be there. So we will see.

The Gaiety Theater and The Cork Opera House have the Breaking Dad shows for 2015 listed on their website, and Lisa is credited among the cast. The shows in Cork start at 10 February so if Lisa will do the play she'll most likely not be on the European Tour.   

I realize that both theaters might just have copied old information, and that the best option is to rely on news coming from Lisa and/or CW's management. I will be happy to see the new show, whether Lisa or Lynn will perform. I'm just curious.

I sincerely hope Lisa returns. Don't get me wrong! I love Lynn and think she's a wonderful singer. And she certainly seems to have come out of her shell on The Emerald Tour much more so than in past shows. But I LOVE Lisa Lambe. She's an incredible performer and Celtic Woman is so very fortunate to have her. Her return would mark a return to the dynamic and emotionally wrought performances we've come to anticipate from her.

I think this is more evidence on the status of Lisa for 2015

Don't those two January dates conflict with Lisa's play?

but Lisa was with them yesterday or whenever it was they all got together I don't why she's not in the pics

I think the promo pictures where for the Ireland shows, which, to the best of my knowledge, conflicts with the "Breaking Dad" so it makes sense Lisa wouldn't be in them, because she probably wont be performing in the 2 ireland shows

that picture did confuse / worry me for a minute but, I am not looking into it that deeply though! I did see mairead say that she will see Lisa the next day (the day of the picture or around them.  So that means that she is still with the girls. whether or not that was for practicing for symphony and the uk or the rest. But I take it as since she might be doing the play that she will finish out the rest of the year and lynn will do the Germany tour and the 2 Ireland dates, which might be what Lynn wants to do. Then by the time Lisa's done with the show they will be here, and she might even be able to still practice with the girls during the day and her days off from the show? So I am thinking that the picture is just a promo shot for the Dublin shows that Lisa probably won't be at. I am just nervous about the us tour though. Cle is the end of there first week so if her shows gets extended I don't think she will be here for the  first part of the tour... Or will be here but not on stage. Hmm we'll see when they do the promo shots for the American tour, but for now I am going with that Lisa is still going to be here, I hope? ANd I do like Lynn to if she'll be on tour! :) (I have heard Lynn 2x and she was excellent to!)

It looks like Eabha may carry the candle now for the rest of the tour.
However, since this continues to still be about the [ten years] they could allow let Eabha in November
On break like they did with {Mairead C for Alex} so I wonder why Alex got two months, considering Lynn got 2 months with Europe. It could mean they loved the idea of Lynn and Alex together again that explains Meav agreed to only one month, but still does not make sense, had Meav did (2) they would combine her with Alex as Mairead C for 1 month otherwise I don't see how they would place both Lynn & Meav together possible if Lynn took Mairead C and Meav as herself.

I suspected Meav could get her 2nd month in October back for the US,
Eabha could introduce herself in Australia.
If Lisa L wishes for November in the UK I can see it agreed.  

Have they contacted Orla and Chloe?
Lisa K confirmed for herself she could NOT, I don't believe why they would ignore Chloe- for a tenth year honor performance no matter
she left not so while ago it doesn't if Mairead Carlin is the member now they could still switch her like they did with Alex.

If this setup were to occur then equally

Lynn- 2 months (or 3 months) ???
Alex- 2 months
Meav-2 months (includes October)
Lisa L- 1 month
Eabha- 1 month

If Eabha continues then we'll know the US has a change in direction, meanwhile
for November we have no clue, last year Lisa L did comeback for the UK in Emerald after Lynn's long
Brasil and US alternation our opportunity for Chloe, Orla, Lisa K or any other past member is axed for CW10.
Meav really did enjoy and was brought to tears beautifully :) due to the length, she shared that's it for this leg of the US tour as in Summer. Alex had noted to a fan until they asked or decided they'd extend her for the fall tour she would say so yes or no to the fan.
Finally as for Lynn she has gotten the chance to shine more again with CW :)

Never say never, BUT sad to say, it seems unlikely the wonderful Miss Lisa Lambe will return to CW for this tour.  She has apparently charted a new course for herself and we should all support and wish her the very best.  Eabha is a huge talent and if she is/becomes a permanent member, will fit in with CW quite well thank you!

Sorry to say Lisa Lambe has taken her final bow with CW, BUT, not her final bow in the US.  It appears that the show Bloody Irish will tour in 2016 and she may also have more solo gigs here.  Either is not to be missed if it passes through your area. 

I hope that Lisa comes to my area.
