 Thank  you  for  this.  :) 

yes~ Thank You soo Much !!!  :)

Thank you so much! OMG I'm getting more and more excited!!!

Thanks, James for the welcome back.  I appreciate it.  And thank you Celtic4life for the nice videos.  I hope to see more as they are posted.  My show isn't until May so I live on these previews while I am waiting.  :)

OK, I'm officially too CWazy-excited to function for the next 2 months!!!!!!

 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Hahaha! I know what you mean!

Thank you so much!!
James, we totally need to go together!

I can't Believe I'm Actually doing this..>

I'm traveling to see our girls perform their next show stop tonight In Jacksonville FL - @ Times Union!!!!! :D ;D

I never saw Eabha in real in concert.
This will mark my very first time travelinG to Another CITY to  see CW!  :)

They are going to do backstage video and live of "My Heart Will Go On"

https://twitter.com/Celtic_Woman/status/840680271192158208

I hope everyone saw it live. If not here it is!!

Live Performance "My Heart Will Go On"
https://www.facebook.com/celticwoman/videos/10155116345317838/

Pretty good sound and video quality. Camera was a bit shaky, but if I was listing to them, I wouldn't be able to hold a camera steady either.

I think it was better quality than their live streams last year.

That was so beautiful! I can't wait to hear it in person!

 :) So assuming by everyone fish-catching on any videos that I guess a spoiler section seems looks to be not necessary
   for a tour other than when on an album release as we did with VOA album release.. Unless the spoiler's can be about special new song arrangements never heard
   like the following below:

   Tir Na Nog (VOA version)
   The Voice (VOA v)
   The Parting Glass (VOA v)
   Westering Home (VOA)
   She Moved Thru The Fair (Dance Scenes)
   Dulaman (Mairead, Flips)

Flips?

Watch the behind the scenes rehearsal they actually lift Mairead C in the air during Dulaman.
Sorry not flips  :D Hahaha wow that would be beyond epic!

oh, haha, my mistake. lol

That would be even more elaborate stuntwork than "The Wheel of TAR" from Believe!  :D

EABHA....WOW.......gonna see her and the girls in 3 weeks...front row.

OMG that was AWESOME! She reminded me so much of Orla in that song! I would SO love to hear Eabha and Orla sing together!

Ever wondered what Celtic Woman gets up to at soundcheck?

Here's a highlight video of soundcheck at DPAC in Durham, North Carolina.

The video is (mostly) to the tune of "Across The World" performed by Tara McNeill!

https://www.facebook.com/celticwoman/videos/10155155211527838/

I can't tell what's going on in the video because it's going way too fast for me.

Sorry about that. I made a "speed-throttled" version I'll send you. I reduced the whole thing to 25% of its original speed. The fast parts should be clearer, although some parts might be agonizingly slow.

Anyways, I overlayed the speed-throttled version with 4 Voices of Angels tracks, so there will be some awesome music in the background.

I'll message you the edited video once it's uploaded.

Here's the girls doing Time To Say Goodbye! (I think the link is Glen's new YouTube channel but I could be wrong)

Very nice.  (And, I like the audience reaction.)  Thank you for sharing the link with us. :)

Lovely Mairead can hit those high notes as well as anyone.

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this video already, but I'll post it just incase. ;) It has Mairéad singing "Dúlaman!" ;D

I think Mairead Carlin does the best Dulamon I`ve heard.....and I told her so after the show. She told me she had been working very hard on that number.

Thanks for all the videos!
I'm getting even more excited for my show next month!

"Óró Sé do Bheatha Bhaile"
Facebook stream from The Peoria Civic Center in Peoria, IL on April 30th, 2017

https://www.facebook.com/celticwoman/videos/10155274746622838/

Gosh I LOVE that song!

I've been meaning to track down some fan-captured videos too but haven't had time in a while.

THE-PARTING--GLASS ! :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxsJ2XRbkRg

Best Part It's a New Version Too! ;D

Great Seating By the Way - LOVE most seeing EABHA! !!! :P

This new version is AWESOME. I really hope they put it in a future album or DVD :O

I wasn't sure what to expect before I heard it. The Parting Glass arrangement from Believe / Emerald is my favourite song. Ever. It was the perfect bittersweet ending to not just a a wonderful show, but two of the most wonderful performers I have ever known. Lisa, who sang the first Celtic Woman song I heard and Chloë, the first Celtic Woman I met.

The new version is different, but I was not disappointed. The harmony is immensely satisfying. The new version is more faithful to the traditional tune, in my opinion and the ending still gets me. <3

As far as the original Celtic Woman arrangement of The Parting Glass, no other song or arrangement could ever hold its place in my heart. But I love the new version on its own merits and I hope they record it one day.

I absolutely LOVE the Believe/Emerald version of this, but I have to say that this is probably the most BEAUTIFUL version I've EVER heard of this song BAR NONE! I am PRAYING they record this for a future album!

For me it's taking to get use to. As Amazing Grace & You Raise Me Up & Mo Ghile Mear are even more Impact-ful on Voice's Of Angels, for The Parting Glass this went more traditional same with Orinoco Flow. To me the style is not as higher to the next level enough. I like the raising at the finale. The reason I fell in love was The Celtic Woman Emerald/Believe version was strong maybe high in rise style. This version to me sounds like Celtic Thunder's style which is nicely for it to be different.
CaraNua on the other hand took it similar to the classic CW original one and gave it a twist. It's still CW. But the CaraNua Danny Boy, Dulaman & Voice's Of Angel's Danny Boy & Dulaman can't battle it out since there both supreme fantastic redone versions but each quite so different especially the Dulaman Lynn invented vs the new fresh Lullaby take which is perfect to be added to the CW lullaby album for a future tour.  :D joke To me a Celtic Woman song can't evolve unless it is more greater than the classic just take O America for an example. It's okay since You Raise Me Up has had many versions this may go the same route.
I just like the Big feeling of the first Parting Glass with the Giant Ending Better! :D ;D! Feel free to disagree we all have different tastes.  I didn't like Amazing Grace & You Raise Me Up on VOA at first but it was I just needed time to take Adjust with it..Now I'd say it's beyond the original more Breathtakingly - AWWE!

Yeah, it took me a while to get used to Amazing Grace and YRMU.

I thought the VoA tour version of Amazing Grace was better than the VoA album version.

YRMU is a more difficult one to comment on for me. I like some of the CW versions of YRMU a lot more than others (the SfTH version being one of my favourites). In any event, the VoA tour version was definitely enjoyable. There were many other songs from the tour I liked even more, though!

My Review of The Parting Glass (Voices of Angels arrangement)

I agree The Parting Glass scaled back the power, which (as you mentioned) is interesting, considering they added a lot of power to some of their other songs. I like that the instrumental backing in the new version doesn't overpower the singers as much. You can really appreciate the crystal clear harmony. I would have enjoyed a little more power towards the finale, but I'm still really satisfied with the new arrangement.

Another interesting thing they did with The Parting Glass (to differentiate from David Downes'' version?) was to end the chorus in a more traditional way, in a minor key instead of in an an uplifting major key.

Ending the chorus on a major key was more satisfying and achieved that bittersweet quality more effectively. But a strength of the new arrangement is the way it ends the chorus in a sad, yet hopeful way. The way the chorus closes on a subdominant and dominant chords instead of resolving to the tonic creates a bit of anticipation. The ending of the song feels less like closure than it does leave you hanging a bit, as if to say "goodbye ... but not forever."

While I enjoy the tune of the previous arrangement a bit more, the new arrangement (like most of the songs from Voices of Angels) still achieves incredible beauty ... just in a different way.

Oh, they really need to record this version of The Parting Glass. It's gorgeous.

I'm inclined  to  agree...   8)

Celtic Woman Live with the opening of the show! ;D :)
Mo Ghile Mear -VOA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrzNeX6JQh4

Quite possibly the most epic opening number they've done on tour.

My favorite part is when Tara plays that breathtaking, sweeping bridge just before the girls come down the stairs for the finale.

Not strictly speaking from the Spring Tour :p but I came across this and thought you'd all want to have a look. It has a pretty substantial amount of footage in there (goes for about half an hour) and covers a fair portion of the songs from the first half. Enjoy :D

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEH8oQ2F9Ck

Do We Do!!  thanks for finding! ;D
Yes finally the 1st time we see Susan perform her epic own She Moved Thru The Fair! VOA style!
Poor Susan you can see/tell she had something going on with her Mic almost thought she had to hold on to it like it was not staying attached or was it a sound thing. *
Love the additional Applause of support when she returned before the song! xxx

Mo Ghile Mear
- I can't help it, I go super-cwazy whenever I hear this rendition!
- That percussion is absolutely epic!
- Tara's bridge is overwhelming beautiful. I can't help but be swept away with every movement of her bow.
- Wow! Tara's gotten really good at moving about the stage over the course of the Voices of Angels tour. She's even more graceful than she was in April!
- This rendition has got to be top 10 all time for me, maybe top 5!

Sue's Mic
- Poor sue. She was really battling that mic.
- Kudos to the crowd for supporting her. <3

Mairead's Excitement
- OMG, she was so excited when she introduced My Heart Will Go On!
- It goes to show how thrilled they are to be doing what they do

Dulaman
- Mairead's dancing is almost as spectacular as her voice! And that's REALLY spectacular!
- Definitely one of my favourite versions of this song, both in arrangement and choreography

Isle of Hope, Isle of Tears
- Since I heard this song on SftH, it's been one of my all-time favourites (occasionally even #1)
- Given how much I love the song, I'm really glad I finally got to go to Ellis Island this year

Across the World
- Tara's background is classical and I'm sure this was a bit outside her comfort zone, especially while running about the stage
- When I'm clapping along to this song, I sometimes feel I'm not only having fun, but that I'm cheering Tara along :D
- I am so impressed with her!

She Moved Through the Fair / She Moved Thru' the Fair
- Kind of a fresh choreographic take on the song
- It's nice that Sue got to show of her grace as a dancer

The Kesh Inn
- Probably my favourite band-spotlight number!

Thanks for sharing!

[EDIT: Additional videos uploaded (The Voice, Time to Say Goodbye, The Parting Glass & Finale)]

I really LOVE Water Under the Bridge!!!

I've said it before, but this is one of the few groups in the world that can actually sound better on stage than they do in a studio. Amazing Grace, Danny Boy, and You Raise Me Up I thought were all fine examples of that phenomenon.

Poor Sue was having trouble with her mic again  :( ... but she still didn't miss a beat. <3
