Celtic Woman's Facebook and Official Page has just announced the newest addition: Mairéad Carlin!   "Born in Derry, in the north of Ireland, Mairead Carlin’s life has been immersed in music since her early days, coming from a family whose love of song was passed down to her generation. “Derry, my hometown, is a very cultured and very musical place, wherever you turn there’s always music,” she enthuses. “That was especially true in my family… We’d just sit around the fire, sing and drink tea – there was no alcohol involved, despite what people always think about the Irish!” After finishing her studies at Trinity College of Music in London, Mairead was signed to Decca Records and has recorded her debut album, ‘Songbook’, due for release in 2014. Mairead has performed for the President of Ireland, celebrated the Irish Anthem for the England-Ireland Rugby International to a TV audience of millions and shared the stage with the likes of Snow Patrol and The Priests at the 2013 BBC TV Gala Concert ‘Sons and Daughters’ to mark Derry’s year as City of Culture- of which she also recorded the City of Culture anthem ‘Let The River Run’. She has toured the UK and Ireland with legendary American singer-songwriter Don McLean, including a sellout concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Also this year, Mairead made her debut with the National Symphony Orchestra in the National Concert Hall for RTE TV. “A motto I’ve used throughout my career so far”, she says, “is a quote from the award-winning poet Seamus Heaney: ‘Sing yourself to where the singing comes from.’ I think there’s a lot to be said for that”. We are delighted to be welcoming Mairead to Celtic Woman." http://www.celticwoman.com/mairead-carlin/So now, we have Mairead squared!  Welcome, Mairead! I can't wait to hear you sing!  EDIT: Here are some youtube videos of her singing. I think she'll fit in just fine.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlXWPR7oPUE&feature=youtube_gdata_playerhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wuZZXs_KlQhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUQt_paLNe8http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tA5WdKuWJJQ |

I've watched all the videos posted above and I give her a thumbs up. I believe David has done his usual great job of adding to the legacy of Celtic Woman. I will miss Chloe deeply, but this helps to soften the blow. I doubt that any singer in the world can move back and forth between contemporary, traditional and classical songs as well as Chloe but this girl will bring her own unique talents to the group.

If you'd like to hear her singing some CW fare, you can listen to (and buy) her singing part of The Prayer as a duet with Thomas Spencer-Wortley on iTunes here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/prayer-feat.-mairead-carlin/id326607827?i=326608020&uo=4ETA: On the official announcement they spelled her name with only one accent but they spelled Máiréad N's with two so I'm assuming that is the correct spelling. aislin |

Welcome, Mairéad!!! She sounds and looks stunning! So, does that mean, we have M áir éad and Mair éad? Or did they misspell her name? The first option would be cool! Like Laoise and Lisa instead of Lisa K and Lisa L, you know. Same name, different spelling |

She has got such a lovely voice. I could be a wee bit biased, but I am SO excited to have a northerner in the group. She's also an accordion player (look through her Twitter photos), so I'm hoping her solos are going to be more traditional.

Thank you for posting those videos! She sounds and looks incredible! She is very pretty! I was close though w rebecca harkin though! They are both from the derry northern Ireland area and have reddish brown hair! Which also explains the first video where she is singing w damian mcginty (formaerly) of celtic thunder! And I hear alittle bit of Lynn Hilary's softness in her voice which is nice! |
