Title: CWazy Year (2017) Post by: CWazyTom on December 30, 2017, 12:54PM 2017 was a pretty fun trip around the sun for me.
It went to 11+ concerts in 8 different cities, 4 states, and 2 countries. I saw: - Celtic Woman: Voices of Angels (x2) - Rocktopia (x2) featuring Mairead Nesbitt - Chloë (x3) - Lisa Kelly (in Peachtree City) - Riverdance - Lisa Lambe in NYC - Amy Rivard in NYC This was a year of first for me. For the first time, I: - Met Celtic Woman - Met Mairead Nesbitt - Met Lisa Lambe - Met Amy Rivard (x2) - Saw Lisa Kelly - Saw Riverdance - Saw Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Went to a fan gathering (in Peachtree City) It was a really busy and sometimes exhausting year for me, but it was lots of fun! This year was a really exciting year for our favourite Celtic ladies as well: - Celtic Woman attended the Grammy Awards (Destiny nominated for Best World Music Album) - Celtic Woman had 3 albums in the Billboard World Albums top 10: Destiny, Voices of Angel, and The Best of Christmas - Tara and Eabha performed at Red Rocks for the first time - Celtic Woman recorded their new PBS special "Homecoming" (along with a live album) at the 3Arena in Dublin - CaraNua released an album, "Favorite Hymns," with Jason Tonioli - Amy Rivard released a new album, "On Common Ground" with Georgia Weber - Chloë released a new Christmas EP ("Home For Christmas") - Orla released a new album ("Sweet by and By") - Mairead Nesbitt released her family album "Devil's Bit Sessions" - Mairead Nesbitt performed with Rocktopia - Mairead Nesbitt unveiled her new violin line - Susan McFadden got married! Some things to look forward to in 2018: - Celtic Woman: Homecoming DVD and live album release to the public - Celtic Woman: Homecoming tour - Something exciting is rumored for the summer of 2018 ;) - CaraNua makes their concert debut in the US in January - Lisa Lambe and Chloë will likely release their long-anticipated albums in 2018 - Eabha, Tara, and Mairead Carlin, and Hayley have also been working on new material. I'm not sure if they will release albums in 2018, but it's possible. - Tara gets married in January - it sounds like it won't be long until Éabha's wedding - Lisa Kelly is confident she's doing a show in spring. It may not be at the Fred (due to management issues), but it will apparently happen somewhere - Mairead Nesbitt performs with Rocktopia on Broadway - Chloë's "Whine Party" (hopefully 2018 is finally the year) What are your favourite CWazy memories from 2017? What CWazy things are you most looking forward to in 2018? Title: Re: CWazy Year (2017) Post by: Emer Dreamer on December 30, 2017, 03:20PM Not sure yet for me. CW isn't hitting Minnesota this year it seems. I am happy for you, though. :) I do, very much, want to meet Alex some time.

I am happy for you, though. :) I do, very much, want to meet Alex some time. Me too. Hopefully CaraNua does some more shows in North America. I don't expect them to do a lot of shows, but all it takes is one at a convenient location / time, I suppose.
