I had the distinct pleasure of seeing Celtic Woman recently in Wichita.  While I definitely missed Alex, I have to say that in my opinion this is their best show yet.  I was very impressed with the changes made in the show to accommodate the three vocalists.  The highlight of this show was Lisa and Lynn’s duet of My Heart Was Home Again.   Shocked  This song left me speechless with its beauty.

While I hope they add back in a fourth vocalist, I am very impressed with the show as it is now.

I have to keep this brief, but I can’t let this opportunity pass and not thank two special people.  As I was leaving the venue, I heard someone call my name.  As I turned around I was elated to see Roisin!  God bless them, her and Nicky had arranged to surprise me with a short visit after the concert.  How she managed to find me with all those people and all those exits I’ll never know!  Roisin, mom, and I spent time chatting while waiting for Nicky to change into streetclothes.  When Nicky caught up to us, we had a wonderful chat!  At one point mom asked Nicky how he got started playing drums.  He answered that when he was six years old his parents gave him a guitar.  He promptly turned it over and proceeded to bang on the back of it!   A drummer was born  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

To Nicky and Roisin, thank you for completely making my evening!!!!!!!!

Great photo, Kelli!!!! I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Nicky. Grin

Loved your review also. I have a feeling I will feel the same way about this show, especially about My Heart Was Home Again. Can't wait to hear it!!!!

It always makes me feel terrific when someone posts exactly what I was thinking ! ! ! Yes, I have to say Wichita was the
most perfect C W concert I have seen...it contained every bit of professional show business application you can think of.
I love all my other concerts of course...the wonderful lighting in Pasadena...being on the front row center In Tulsa
Red Rocks...2 times....this Wichita show was truly a work of art...it is when it all clicked, you might say. And i had gotten over ALEX's absence the night before in TULSA...that was a direct stab in the heart when she did not come out and line up with the others. By Wichita, I noticed how they had re-worked the show into the shining piece that it was..Thanks Kelli for
your comments and love the picture.... C S

I hope to hear that version one day. I heard Alex sing at Radio City and it was definitly one of the highlights along with Mo Ghile Mear, Nil Se'N La. Spanish Lady, You raise me up, Orinoco Flow and Non C'e piu.
