Maggie responded to a question as to whether Meav would tour until April 5th, which we already know, and whether Lynn would finish things out by saying "I'm going to keep you guessing!  More surprises to come!"  Anyone have any ideas as to what those surprises might be?  The plot thickens... 

 Dulaman,Scarborough Fair, Si Di M are the official Tour Songs,

If Meav has different songs, then that means The 10th Tour could change from time if all the songs are the same then
 my conclusion is Lynn will be back for Part 2 ;)

 (unless our Lisa L still goes to do an alternate for one month also which I doubt it. )

Even though I'm happy that the rumor of Meav touring is real, ;D ;D ;D
I'm happy Lynn will be on my date, though my date for my concert is end of April so the surprise is upon me.
I would of Loved Meav, I've seen her once, I've seen Lynn couple times, but why I still love Lynn I don't know why.
Normally to pick between both is impossible for me.

So thumbs up Lynn. Wink me until a group of ecstatic fans saying "WHAT" to who will be April 5- !

There is no confirmation that Lynn will return when Meav finishes up.  For all we know, April, May, and June could be filled by someone else altogether.  I have a feeling Lynn will in fact return, but we don't know when or for how long.  Maggie tweeted surprises, plural, leading me to believe that there might be at least two more additions.  I know Lisa Kelly won't be among them, since she herself posted that she won't be involved in any way.  Hayley certainly isn't getting involved again, she never even talks about her CW time.  Chloe we know has another tour going on, although I bet she joins Lisa Kelly for her semiannual concert in May.  Alex?  I doubt it, since she has indicated she's pretty content doing things as a single, but since her son is either 12 or 13, long past tuck-in age, she might not rule out a month.  Deirdre?  That would be a shocker.  The return of Lisa Lambe?  Maybe in June.

Might there be other ladies poised on the horizon?  Eabha McMahon and Rebecca Winckworth could step in no problem.  $10 says we don't find out what's next until this time next month.                 

I would  love  to  see  lovely  Deirdre  for the first  time.   :-*

I think that's pretty unlikely, BUT, I also think Maggie is either deliberately trying to generate buzz as to what is next or doesn't know herself what is next.  Otherwise she would have just released the schedule of whos and whens.

Alex just changed her cover photo on Facebook to a picture from when she was in Celtic Woman... I wonder if this is a hint? ::)

Would love to have Alex Sharpe take a turn on the 10 year tour.  Miss that smile of hers, and oh those eyes.  What a voice and what an exciting performer.  Please come back, dear Alex.

More likely to let her fans (some of whom were pestering her to post or message) know she hadn't dropped out of sight.  That said, there's room for other returnees, so quien sabe?

Actually Deirdre would work as she was a fill in for Meav back in 2005.
She deserves to reclaim her status as a Celtic Woman,  she didn't even have the fortunes that Alex or Susan did in PBS specials.
Deirdre could of been permanently the new Celtic Woman after Meav left in 2007 instead of Lynn. Although I don't regret Lynn ;)was the best fit, even
Look at Lisa L who has been the best fit because now I've heared Lynn doing her roles in TAR and The Parting Glass!
David know's what he's doing. ;)


Fact is Meav is now taking Lynn's spot: 3 Girl Line-up

If The complete 2015 tour stay's in 3-line-up & has to keep the same song setlist in the programs such as important songs like Dulaman.
Like I agree the only fill in's fit are Meav, Lynn, Lisa L

If they can change things up, although I don't see a show without Dulaman,
Alex could do 2 of her popular solos, or Orla could do 2 of her's as example
Only 3 songs need to be changed in the programs. Change Si Di M or have Susan take the spot with Mairead C.

This is just an example unless CW will absolutely not change the tour set up. As much as the celebration tour deserves seeing a 4-Line up opportunity then any former can be added on.

A Surprise could also be 1 of the 2 side female singer on tour, having enough experience from the dances, songs, to nail it..and at the same time become a new surprise Celtic Woman.

Please keep in mind that all of the ladies have been singing since they were very young and they can likely sing any of the songs.  They may not sing a certain song the same way another lady would.  And, we have not heard all of them do the same songs.  For examples, Lisa Kelly did not perform Dulaman and Chloe did not sing The Voice.  How do we know that we would not have liked their versions of these songs more than the Meav or Lynn Dulaman or Lisa's The Voice?  I will leave it to David to match the songs with the singers as he thinks best.  He has done a very good job so far. :)

Funny, in the end every girl have took part sung in Orinoco Flow when it was specifically originally only Lisa, Meav & Orla, even Hayley
and Deirdre have done it.  ;D

Your absolutely right, it's just every time Dulaman has been brought to the next fill soprano girl always, when it didn't have to be so.
After all if, Alex was given switch roles to high for Lisa but when they let her stay she dropped in parts in Alto ranges too in for Songs For The Heart.
I do think Lisa K can, I can see Susan working Dulaman quite nicely if you think about it. ;)

I think it would have been fun to see Chloe or Lisa K. sing Dulaman. ;)

Wait a second... Is is just me or did Alex say something in one of her newsletters about doing something on the West Coast in June? Maybe it's something totally different, but there are some West Coast dates on the tour schedule in late May-early June. :)

  Crosses  fingers...   8)

To keep you guessing .....why would we ever have continue to guess more if Lynn were to alternate back after Meav's.:(

More surprises to come = equals more surprises..  is Alex  :D ;D ;D next in line..
Susan & Mairead C will have a different experience if there were constant switch off's of every 3rd girl.
so much for those 2 to have to get use to the voice switches. :-X

It's never been seen on Celtic Woman to have a pair of girls sing by Lisa L, then by Lynn, now switched by Meav...
I hope they don't have to continue...Alex, Orla, Chloe.etc
Mairead Nesbitt it doesn't matter for her she's experienced all the girls. Just 1 Big family to her.

How About:
2015 Tenth Anniversary not in complete order
February-Lynn
March- Meav
April- Alex
May- Orla
June- Chloe
August- Lisa L
September-Hayley
November-Deirdre
Lisa Kelly busy in Atlanta.

Love  that  graphic   BTW  ....    ;D

Thank You Meaviac.. finally figured it out, I love the one's you have also! ;)

  I  thought  you  might.    ;D

Jim M... :) I give you Kudo's, your right about all you said it's showing it now on tour.
Especially with Meav taking on The Voice explains it. Even with the solo renditions of Susan with The Call & Isle Of Hope now!

Thank you, RealFan c-w.  These ladies are some of the best singers in the world and I doubt they have limits on their abilities -- they can sing anything.  :)

If Alex came back for a month like Meav & there was a tour stop near me, I would do ALL in my power to attend!!! I LOVE her voice & would die to see her perform live!!! :)

It's never been seen on Celtic Woman to have a pair of girls sing by Lisa L, then by Lynn, now switched by Meav...
I hope they don't have to continue...Alex, Orla, Chloe.etc

Well, you're catching on to the fact that LK has ruled out further participation, although she's the only one to go on record as such.  Somehow I think Hayley would also probably say no, she's out 8 years and not looking to book anything big.  I COULD see Chloe stepping in on the West Coast...but for the fact that she is going to tour with another singer and that might conflict.  I can't see Orla or Deirdre, both with young children, wanting to get involved again either, although I could be wrong.  I think LL's done, and I think Alex is also done, and neither wants to leave Ireland right now.  Frankly I just think Lynn will step back in and finish things out, but the organization is keeping mum on that precisely to keep the discussion going and so when it's announced it can create more buzz.     

Thank You Quiet Man for the Genuine Input ;) & for the well-Description status on all the women.

I had a laugh making the calendar out of fun especially Lynn and Meav have only went out for only 1 month so far.
Meav will only be in for a month. It's funny all the women would of fitted the Anniversary Tour by a month each. :)


I 100% agree with you I don't think Lisa K- as much as I know it must be not easy, she loves so much she tweeted on Believe it was a bum she never had the goal to exit CW like this, but needed.
1.Hayley definitely not, she was a absolute fantastic guest for ANJ and 1 tour.
2.Deirdre never say never, but I doubt it, she would though fit perfectly for the Lynn&Meav replacement.
3.Chloe if not busy now could fill later in the Australian and UK tour if she wanted to pay celebration to CW's 10 year success if she wanted to, it's an important part in her life. :)
4.For Orla just 1 month like Meav would do, this could be ideally surprises like Meav.
5.Alex also, on Facebook she recently changed her cover picture to her CW day. 1 month wouldn't hurt.

We'll be absolutely surprised, if a new girl, or Orla or Alex take on as example
because if that happens out then that means the LisaL,Lynn,Meav soprano dynamic has nothing to do.
Now I think that understand who "Mum" is. hahaha. I was like who is this Mum

EEEP! My Concert Tour Line-up which I was really hoping for Lynn is Lynn., just Lynn!!  :D ;D :-*

Omg guys! I just thought of something AMAZING for when Alex returns alongside Susan and Lynn! Wait for it.... Brace yourselves now! Susan and Alex. I Dreamed A Dream. Discuss.

    Sounds  dreamy  !  I  picture it  as  Alex  leading  like Lisa  K.  and  Susan  coming  in  2nd.   8)

Either that or Walking The Night/The World Falls Away returns. With Lynn and Alex taking the respective parts on WTN and then Alex assuming Chloe's part on TWFA.

Alex is great as a filler for especially Chloe they're voices can sync look at AG. Can't wait for her to share her voice with Susan's! ;)
A tribute to Broadway since both Alex & Susan were like Lisa K theater girls is working plan.

Gosh* what do you think of
A Circle of Life : Lynn, Alex & Susan  ;D

Now that we have Isle Of Hope another SFTH song added
we need an extra Believe song to top it
I wanted to see Lynn, & Alex do the new opening numbers Awakening or Meav do The Call : - P

Sailing looks powerful having Alex and Lynn there or Alex & Mairead C and Susan in the middle :)

Hmm there are three different tours left for the season, I wonder who is going to be on them? I know Lynn is going to be so I will most likely have here in the uk or she will be for Australia since its shorter tours. But who will be for the Christmas one and possibly one more? I am thinking maybe chloe ( mentioned she wanted to do it but was not asked but now there is some extra openings on some of the tours) or Deirdre or even Marc again ( since she knows the Christmas one) and when she left she said she will see them again as Lynn recently too!? Hmm what are some other thoughts on this!?

    When  Meav  completed  her  part of  this  year's  Spring  Tour  she  said  that  ...  "I  am  done for  THIS  tour ...."     or  words close  to  that  effect.  This  could  tacitly  imply  that she  may  be   open  to  future  limited  gigs  like  this  one.   Meav  is  a  very  smart  lady (  an  attourney  to  boot )  and  well  aware  of  how  to phrase  things .  We  will  see, though. 

Lynn seeing them again? did she mention when coming along this yr.
Seems Quite Meav really enjoyed Being back with/being Part and all, she was emotional on her last day, so was Lynn
when not sure about last year being her final fill in. I'm sure Lynn was really was happy when the news later came she be a front girl for the Tenth Anniv.

It's quite possible seeing Chloe for a Christmas tour, if Lynn stays on, really be impressed happy perhaps she in some-what a full member again, depends afterwards if announced a new girl.. that would change.
When Meav said "This tour, could it mean the (US tour) or CW10 all together and may return again another year.
Even when asked Alex about wanting her, she claimed as of now she's not called whether she may have an opening offer for
UK or Aust, looks to me Alex would be interested in extending on the anniv, she even hoped she would like to make it to San Paolo 1 day.

It's possible Lisa L comes back for Christmas,

let's thumbs up would Maggie or David Downes ever accept Meav & Lynn together? why not for Christmas
Lisa L & Meav were sopranos.

I actually freshly prefer to see Lynn & Alex take their turn to Christmas shows.
That was a miss miss for them, don't u think except for the obama show, talk shows.

Love Meav xx

Oh yeah I can see Lynn or alex for Australia Lynn or chloe  or even lisa lambe for the uk or even meav and maybe lisa lambe for Christmas or meav since they know the music!? We will see I think lisa lambe maybe done for good w cw but not sure and hope not. Chloe for uk maybe not so far off though since she likes being close to home and was wondering a tour or two ago why she wasn't asked, and she was an original!?
