Thanks again for the great review Emily! I'd love to share a concert with you and experience Mairead live together with an avid Mairead fan. Now, go put some pixie dust in your coffee and savor the flavor. Perhaps a Lisa special  Thank you very much, Scott! It was such an incredible night and Máiréad made it so. I am completely covered in pixie dust and almost 48 hours later it still has not come off (not that I even want it too)!  I am so, so, so ready to see them again and again and again. I have the image of Máiréad standing on the edge of the stage mouthing "Thank you!" to everyone at the end of the show and I hope it NEVER leaves my mind! Such a special fiddler we have! I feel so blessed and so thankful to have been given the opportunity to see them and see them so very close up. I'll never forget it. |

By the way, to anyone who was wondering, even if she didn't get to stick around after the show, Emily was a delightful person to meet, very enthusiastic and funny and smiling the whole time like crazy. So thank you, Emily, for adding to a wonderful evening and being a really great person to find on this forum.

Wow, Chris! Thank you for those kind words!!  It was great to meet with you and everyone else too, and as I said before in my review, I am so sorry I couldn't stick around to chat more with you all. I really, really wanted to and had I been alone at the show I would have. It was nice talking with you during intermission!!! Hopefully during the next tour we'll all get to meet up again and talk more! I'd really love to get to know everyone better. Celtic Woman fans (or, more specifically, forum members) are some of the nicest people in the world, although that just doesn't surprise me. |

.......... Emily was a delightful person to meet, very enthusiastic and funny and smiling the whole time like crazy. So thank you, Emily, for adding to a wonderful evening and being a really great person to find on this forum. I absolutely agree!
I haven't had time to add my thoughts yet, I've been working all day.....and am about to make dinner.
So just a quick note.....
I will fill in about meeting Col. Allen and his lovely wife Sarah later......
We got to the Arena which is huge, and were shown to the fourth row. This was around 7:10pm. We had already seen Rich, Eric and Chris.
I have to say I do not like an Arena-type setting for Celtic Woman, but it's better than nothing. The seats were not comfortable and too close together, just cheap folding chairs.
But we were determined to make the most of it.
My first thought after being seated was...."now, where is Emily?"
We were in F-1 section, on the left when looking out from the stage. We were on the 4 seats next to the aisle, just across from section F-2. Rich and sons were across the aisle from us. So I looked at the few rows behind them......and saw a pretty, vibrant young lady giving me a radiant smile and a wave......YES, that must be Emily!
And so it was.....but we were not able to talk until the interval. Then it was introductions and hugs all round. What a delight!
Now...about the green sequin jacket......sadly, i could not find it!
So i wore an emerald green blazer-style jacket.
It is usually hanging in my closet. I thought back to the last time I wore it.....for the Irish Club Christmas Dinner. I remember as I took it off, I was thinking "this thing is getting old and has lost a lot of sequins. But I can't throw it away!"
I think I turned it inside out and put it in a "space bag", intending to have it cleaned and revived. But i can not remember where I put it!!!
I WILL find it.....and keep you posted. |

Maggie, I couldn't agree more about the seats. They were really uncomfortable and ridiculously close together. I am a bit, er, claustrophobic and I'm not good with crowds, so needless to say the first few songs after The Sky The Dawn and The Sun (after I got over my official shock of seeing the girls, lol) were actually kind of rough for me. I almost had a panic attack because I felt very trapped in those seats. I talked myself through it though because I didn't want to ruin the night! By the time Chloe came out to sing The Prayer I was much better and back to normal again! It was rough though! It was wonderful meeting you and wish I could have stayed to talk more and see Colonel Allen receive the guestbook! Again, I apologize for not saying a proper goodbye. Oh, and I hope you find your jacket! |

Soooooooooo....who can sew? The problem is......I bought that jacket in a Thrift Store......they get a lot of "end of line" new stuff in there, and the jacket still had the new label on.
It was meant just for me.....I walked straight up to the rack it was on, and bought nothing else.
The price? $4.99.....can't beat that, or hope to find another!
Maybe Saint Anthony might help me find one though.......
Anyway, I know I still have the old one somewhere.
We kept finding green sequins all over the house and car..
...on the dog's bum......in his bed....
I have ordered something else with green sequins, you'll be seeing that next time......
And I did wear my green sequin shoes on Wednesday night...... |

Coming into the Arena To Sit..I swear I saw a woman in a Green Squined Jacket with Red hair ^.^ But i cant remember....I was in a daze that whole night...I really couldnt believe where I was and who I was about to see!!!! I felt the same way as Emily did the whole night!!
(On a Side note, Just like Emily officially stated....Im sure I was one of the First people to start clapping for our dear fiddler on either The Butterfly, or The Contradiction...She blew me away on both of those songs.....I love it when I get chills ^.^))
