Yesterday morning, I mailed the management of Celtic Woman to see if there were any plans for a European tour, including dates in Paris, and yesterday evening, I received an answer. Note that all of this is tentative. The british Ticketmaster doesn't list the information below yet, and plans may change. With this caveat, here are the good news for european fans of CW:
Monday 14th May 2007
"Hi Gerard
Greetings from Ireland!
Thank you very much for your E mail addressed to Celtic Woman.
Your very kind comments and good wishes will be passed on to Celtic Woman and they very much appreciate when people take the time to write letters or send e mails.
Celtic Woman tour of the United States and Canada ends in June.
In September / October they will be starting a tour of the United Kingdom and several countries on Continental Europe. I list hereunder the provisional dates for the UK leg of their tour but plans have not yet been finalised for Europe so I am not yet in a position to say if they will be performing in Paris.The European Tour venues and booking details will be put on the Celtic Woman web site in due course. Here are the provisional UK dates:
CELTIC WOMAN – SEPTEMBER 2007
Monday 17 September Liverpool Philharmonic Hall
Tuesday 18 September Llandudno Venue Cymru Theatre
Wednesday 19 September Gateshead Sage
Thursday 20 September **DAY OFF
Friday 21 September Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
Saturday 22 September Manchester Bridgewater Hall
Monday 24 September **DAY OFF
Tuesday 25 September Cambridge Corn Exchange
Wednesday 26 September Cardiff St Davids Hall
Thursday 27 September **DAY OFF
Friday 28 September Bournemouth Intl Centre Pavilion
Saturday 29 September London Royal Albert Hall
In November / December they will be visiting Japan, Australia & New Zealand. In January 2008 they will be in South Africa and then in February 2008 they will be returning to the United States and Canada for a further tour."
As I said before, all of this is still in the planning stage. Plans can change anytime, as a bad experience with Feet of Flames taught me. But still, it's nice to know that I might have a chance, small as it is, to see our dear ladies live, isn't it?

And now the countdown begins.......... When will the tour schedule be released? How long will the tour be? What cities will (or won't) they visit? How many concerts can I afford? How many M&Gs can I afford? I love the anticipation! I feel like a kid with Christmas approaching.  |

I have mixed feelings about this. Certainly I want people around the world to have an opportunity to see them, and I am very grateful they will be returning to the US early next year. But this gives them just two months or so of non-tour time to spend at home. So it's possible that fora period of 15 months running from Feb 2007 until possibly June 2008 they will have spent a bit more than 2 months in which they are at home and not living on their tour buses. That has to take a toll on them. I just say this as a concerned fan, and I know I am not alone in thinking about this.

Yes indeed, Scott. I, for one, hope they'll find some way to give them a bit of a resting period; say, over the winter holidays?

Agreed....I hope they get a chance to rest.
On the purely selfish side, I also can't wait to see what venues they will be visiting in 2008.
Gee...I just used my frequent flyer miles for Orlando!

I'm thrilled to hear they'll be back in 2008 for another tour!
However, they sure have a busy schedule. I personally would be totally wiped out by something like that. I think they deserve a few months of no touring at all, and much more time with their families. Well - they know best what they can do and want to do though, so if this is their dream then they are certainly welcome to tour so exhaustively!

When you think of me
sing a heart-spun song
When it's over,
sing it once more.
When you dream of me
dream when I'll meet you
on that distant shore.

Exactly as Siobhan said... While I do have to worry about the girls getting worn out, we have realize that they're making the decision to keep touring. It's what they want to do. I, for one, am ecstatic!  But please, ladies, do try and rest! Rich, you forgot a question: WHAT SONGS ARE THEY PERFORMING?!?!!?!? |

I am thrilled that they are going to the UK to tour (I have family there and I've told them a lot about CW) and coming back to the US next year. But at the same time, I think they need a break, too.

Just a hunch.....I feel that some sponsor will want a mini Christmas tour in the US after the New Zealand, Japan and Australia tour.
If the month of December is completely taken with the places mentioned, it will be Feb 2008 before we are blessed again.
At Slane, it was clear to all there (repeated announcements), that the USA is the market they seek to saturate. The rest of the world gets the balance of the time they are willing to perform.
I think they enjoy concerts around the world, but Lisa would perform here full time if given the opportunity (2500 Starbucks..!)
I have no knowledge of any facts related to Celtic Woman...just wishful thinking. I too hope they get a much deserved rest. My pocket book could use a break. This will be my tenth concert (Red Rocks, Co. & Bridgeport, Conn.)...including Slane Castle. Just can't get enough of a GREAT and much needed musical revolution. You know what I mean if you participate in this forum.
Be Celtic, and plan for a long dry spell. That's what Josh Groban did between his current and previous tours.
We have the power to influence the future of Celtic Woman...Positive messages to Celtic Woman produce answers, and they seem to invite our views and questions....Lets do It with class, not pressure.
Charlie
