When the lights dimmed completely, and the entrances were ready..as they came on stage with votive candles
there was a hush in the audience, and a air of expectation that we were actually in the presence of Celtic Woman
...they then took their places and the lights slowly came up...when I saw the THREE of them....now appropriately
spaced and singing the initial strains of "Nil se'n LA" My heart did an audible loud crack...I heard it at least and
told Searcher 119 the Forum Member sitting next to me..."There's no Alex in the line"...ooooh,,,that really hurt...
but they all did their magic and the show was so well-staged...I soon settled down.....but I will never forget
that crushing moment when Alex did not appear....on that beautiful stage....so YES, I did have Alex withdrawal...
I hope she will get a much deserved rest, and continue to thrive within her family circle...She is missed...
