Detroit!

Hi Everyone!

We had a great two days and nights in the beautiful Chicago Theatre.
What a great city!

The shows went really well and we shot some footage for publicity and ourselves.
So keep an eye out for those new numbers on the telly soon!

I slipped last night during the show but am fine and I want to say thanks to everyone for their well wishes. It was in the middle of Ray and Nicky's solos in my number Shenandoah/ Contradiction. I was concentrating on their lovely rhythms going from one to the other at the time before I come in to play when it happened.... but these things can occur and the main thing is the violin, bow and myself are all fine!

We have a day off now before our show tomorrow in another beautiful venue the Fox Theatre in Detroit.
See you there!

Le grá,

Máiréad.

  3. Hello Máiréad,

    I was relieved to hear that you were OK and this was a simple mis-step.

    I wanted to thank you again for a fanastic evening Tuesday night in Chicago and that I got to meet you. You were terrific and a joy to speak with. The new show is fantastic!

    Thanks again and please be safe and travel well.

  10. I saw you in Detroit last night from the 5th row, center. It was awe inspiring. I will never forget it. You are 1000 times more beautiful in person. Thank you for performing for us.

    Nobody should ever ever miss an opportunity to see the show. I know I never will.

  11. Hi Máiréad!

    My family and I saw the show live for the first time in Milwaukee last weekend. We had an amazing time! It is obvious that you all love what you are doing, and truly connect with the audience you are performing for:) My wife is of Irish heritage and her heart was touched by much of the music you performed. My two sons, (13 & 17 yrs old) have been learning about their Irish roots too, through music and you created two lifelong fans that evening for sure! Music plays a tremendous role in my family's lives and your performance showed how music can be a lifelong pursuit providing much happiness and fulfillment. Thank you for sharing your talents and we look forward to seeing you all soon!

  12. Mairead,
    I have seen some pictures taken of you and Lisa, with Rich and members of the Celtic Woman Forum in Chicago a few days ago, and I must tell you how beautiful you looked in that strapless silver colored dress with gold highlights. You are always beautiful, but this would take your breath away.

    I would hope there have been pictures taken of you and of Lisa in those dresses, with the intention of making them available for purchase along with the other Celtic Woman merchandise.

    So glad the slip did not have serious injury. I pray for your health and safety daily.

    See you in Wilkes-Barre in two weeks.

    Jim
