Wow I just found this post. It really brings back the memories. The little girl that you were referring to is my daughter.
She is huge CW fan. The girls know her well.
She talked to LL at the book singing in Atlanta days before Birmingham concert. She told her that she would look for Heather in Birmingham! I was proud to start the standing O near the end of Parting Glass. Some fans though it was out of line but I felt lead by my heart!
It was an awesome night!!!!
The song, for those who didn't remember, is titled "Green Grow The Rushes O" and in the Hippodrome as asked by Chloe, me, my parents and everybody else in there sang in harmony as a family of one.
One of the blessings of Celtic Woman is the positive effect on children, families and friends. For me it's a real joy to go to a CW show and not only see all this but to experience it myself.
I follow Altan too! I agree, they are awesome!
