"A couple of months ago we finished our symphony tour; we did a tour all across the States in December with a different symphony orchestra every night performing Christmas music. It was really fun; it was a special thing to get to perform with a different symphony orchestra every night and that's something that you can only ever dream about and we absolutely cherished every single moment of that."
"Honestly? These venues are two of my favorite venues in the world; I have family in New Jersey and they always come to the New Jersey concerts so I love doing that gig and Philadelphia is one of my favorite places in the entire world and I love that venue so they are going to be two great nights for us. I would say that it's a great experience and it takes you on a journey through Ireland. That's what we really wanted from this album and from this show, was to take people on a journey, the ups and downs and everything in between. We have a full stage production, beautiful gowns as people would expect, drummers, percussion, bag pipers, dancers and lots of old music as well as new music."
What started as a supposed onetime event has turned into a fabulous representation of history, tradition, culture and music; all brought to life by the beauty of Ireland. Mairead sees no slowdown in sight for the band and embraces the thought of continuing their journey.
"As far as I'm concerned, Celtic Woman is just growing and growing and moving forward. I've been in the group for six years and it's amazing to see the progression within the music industry. All around us the industry is changing and the amazing thing for us is to see people still coming to our shows and still wanting to hear our music. So for as long as people want to come and hear us perform we are more than happy to do that; we feel very lucky to do what we do. Yes I'm an artist as a person but I feel as much of my identity in Celtic Woman as I do in my own stuff; I'm so proud to be a part of Celtic Woman and want to do it for as long as they will have me."

That's it for this week! Please continue to support live and original music and until next week....ROCK ON!
