I love me some Susan, but Alex is the only CW girl I haven’t seen live. Hopefully Alex is with them in Portland in a few weeks! I’ve been a huge fan since 2008.

Celtic Woman let us know that Susan is fine. She had to fly home to Ireland to attend the funeral of her Aunty Joanie.

Deepest condolences to Susan and her family.

I'm really glad she's okay but that really has to be tough. I'm really sorry Susan.

I'm SO excited to finally get to meet Alex for the first time! I'm going to see CW on the 21st!

She might still be there, but Susan might be back by then. Either way, you're going to get to see / meet and amazing singer!

02.Mo Ghile Mear* (All)
03. My Heart Will Go On* (All)
04. She Moved Thru The Fair
06. Amazing Grace* (All)
10. Danny Boy* (All)
09. Time to Say Goodbye* (All)

01. You Raise Me Up (All)
05. Walk Beside Me (All)
12. Téir Abhaile Riú*(All)
13. Parting Glass (All)

The one's with the * are the one's I would hope for wish
we get any clip to hear her on those songs.
Especially Mo Ghile Mear my absolute favorite,
Just imagining the Dominance of Alex's powerful voice on
03, 06, and 09!!!

Whoever is going and gets the Alex show who ever could at least get an audio video so we could hear how she sounds like would only mean the world that enough a Dream.

Most importantly a VOA version
Mo Ghile Mear, My Heart Will Go On, Time To Say Goodbye, Amazing Grace...

 :-X


Celtic Woman official has posted a lot of the tours
since Destiny, VOA! The least I'm surprised was for the tenth anniv.
If they can announce the news they could share although
If Alex is SUPER amazing could they not want commercial it a lot of people would demand to see her! :P

I'm sorry Susan.

I really hope they have a vid of Alex singing something this time. That would be nice.

I'm going to see them on the 20th, so who knows who I'm going to see. Either way, we all know she's going to be really good!

seen Alex in concert twice...AWESOME stage presance..KILLER blue eyes...but by the time I see them in a month, she probably won`t still be with them.


Title: Re: Homecoming Tour News!
Post by: rfcw on March 15, 2018, 10:47AM
For can't they at least give us a post of one group song in full that has Alex in it.
I don't care whether it's
-Mo Ghile Mear
-My Heart WIll Go On
-Time to Say Goodbye
-Danny Boy
-Walk Beside Me

Relying on audiences give.. lesser-like chance's than someone who can request off of celticwomanofficial.

I just found out that "Homeland" has been sung before, by the Kilkennys and the Aris Choir. Here's a clip form the Late Late Show (the Irish version) :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVqBlOO1bTU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVqBlOO1bTU)

But I can't wait to have Celtic Woman's version on a CD. Or as a (legal) download.

That's an excellent rendition! Thank you for sharing.

Here's Derek Ryan's version, which is reminiscent of Nathan Carter's style:

Here's the Mick Hanly version (you may recognize the record label, Celtic Collections):
https://youtu.be/1IMgdK21aEU

Personally, I love the Celtic Woman version the most, followed by the Kilkennys version.

So pretty!

It makes me sad I probably won't see Alex when I see Celtic Woman in a few weeks.

... But it also makes me happy I'll most likely see Susan.  :D <3

It's like a win-win!

Have they said when Susan is coming back?


Title: Re: Homecoming Tour News!
Post by: rfcw on March 19, 2018, 08:32AM
Ssh ;)! I'm sure Susan will be back. Perhaps half way
For the fact Alex is there for St.Patrick's Day not knowingly if Susan is still not ready quite yet. I think she'll Allow some extended number of shows for Alex knowingly Alex had to practice a lot choreography, new songs, lyrics, etc

To do all that for only couple shows after all that work doesn't have to be.
Alex is a Celtic Woman so its okay ; she's not a substitute intern.

I read somewhere from somebody that Anto said that she planned to be back on Friday.

Tiffany you got a lucky win special opportunity!
Alex answered to a fan asking about seeing her March 31.
She responded back with a sad emoji that her last show would be the 23rd March!

This is an opportunity to capture Full audio of

My Heart Will Go On with Alex
Amazing Grace Lead with Alex
Time to Say Goodbye with Alex
These most Importantly!
Walk Beside Me if you want too

I have a ticket for Tuesday night in Pittsburgh.  Was hoping for a chance to see Alex again, but I guess not.

I think if it were not for CaraNua, I would have added a third show to this Homecoming tour and found a way to see her. I have no doubt the drive would have been borderline insane, but worth it.

Fingers crossed I can see her with CaraNua. Pretty much going to their next big show no matter when or where it is or what it costs at this point.
