Okay, with talk of american country music, the words to a John Denver song just flitted by my brain:
Well I got me a fine life, I got me OLE FIDDLE,
and the sun's comin' up I got cakes on the griddle!
Life ain't nothin but a funny funny Riddle! (such as the name of the new show! hee hee!)
WHOOO..Thank God I'm a Country Boy (or in this case, girl), YEAH!
I still wanna see Mairead and Charlie Daniels together. That would be a classic.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

The ladies would look wonderful in any costume and I would love to sit through a three or four hour concert, but guess that is asking WAY too much of them. At least we have the CDs and DVDs of the past and can only look forward to a wonderful new show.
And, thanks, Maggie, for your understanding of how they have carried the Celtic history and culture to us in such beautiful songs.

Cowboy boots, cowboy hats, and blue jeans could be cute for a song. As long as they dont get too carried away with it. Something like "Boots were made for walkin' " or maybe even "On the Road again" as sort of the fun energetic closing song. Another possible song = "Will the circle, be unbroken" although that might not work as it steps on Grand Ole Opry tradition. "The devil went down to Georgia" would be a good Mairead song. "If your gonna play in Texas, ya gotta have a fiddle in the band" too.
I dont know if I would advocate boots for Mairead though, as I am hoping she starts using proper footware before she spins an ankle while wearing heals. At least she does the one song on the ANJ DVD barefoot, thats better than those heals.

As it is I think she is dancing in 4 inch heels. Western boots have a heel that is less than 2 inches on the average. You would be surprised how many boots are sold to European visitors and that includes British and Irish. Jim |

I have to say that I would not enjoy a "country" theme in Celtic Woman. It's not even that I dislike country music (I'm indifferent to it). It's just that I would prefer the group to retain its Celtic identity as much as possible. Classical and Christmas songs are more or less universal, so those don't jar with the Celtic identity, but country would take it into a whole other culture, and I just don't think it would be at all pleasant, at least not to some fans.
There are no end of groups and singers performing country songs, but only one group (with this kind of popularity) doing Celtic and Classical songs, and that's Celtic Woman. I wish they would stick close to that identity, merely expanding into different particular selections from Irish traditional music, and other works of the Classical repertory.
