The Official CWF!

OMG we are Official! I sorta figured we would be. Silly starting another forum. Aislin, YOU ROCK GIRL! I mean the new theme is amazing! OMG I still can't believe this! Way to go! AHHH!

Rich, YOU AMAZE me at the things you do lol Good job to you too.

Tour Spoilers Board! I'm Dying...

I am dying. Yes, you heard that right! I am dying! Ok, not literally dying, but I am dying to read the Tour Spoilers Board that Aislin put up for those who want to be suprized and not know about the Isle of Hope Tour.

Well, I happen to be one of those people (pretty sure the only one by now lol) that wants to be surprised and not know anything! CW, don't take this the wrong way, I love reading the reviews and seeing the videos but I think it is so much better when you don't know anything. It's like receiving a gift and you don't know what it is and you open it and are totally surprised! That is how I feel.

Ok, so this is how I really feel about that Spoiler Board. It's like me having wood to burn but no fuel! The Spoiler Thread is the fuel and I can't get to it! Gah! It's a pain in the *** to see the title's of the threads such as "Pic of the Dresses!" and "Chicago Review!" It's killing me let me tell ya!

So I am trying not to read any reviews, articles of CW, or blogs. People have been nice and not talking about it around me and I thank you all for cooperating with me! It's freaking hard to do this but people keep telling me to hold on and wait cause it is worth it and I don't doubt them at all!

CW puts on one hell of a show and I know this show will be just as amazing and just as magical as the others before them.

Now if they would only tell us where the new DVD taping in July would be!!!!!!!!!

Spring 2009 Isle of Hope Tour!

Well, it officially starts today! The CW Isle of Hope Spring 2009 tour! I haven't been reading anything on the Evansville rehearsal show cause I wanna be surprised when I go to my concert in June! Not sure if I am gonna be able to last that long! I will surly try though. To me not knowing is like receiving a gift, it's better when ya don't know! Plus, then my expectations won't be too high. I tend to keep my expectations on the low down. That way when I get to see the show, I will be totally blown away! So, just 4 months for me or 107 days!

Glad that the Admins put up a Spoilers Thread for everyone who wants to look. Plus, they can't talk about it in the chat! Which I was worried about it.

CW Ltd Official Forum TBA

I read that CW Ltd will be having their own forum and I am debating if I am gonna join. I am pretty comfortable with the CWF and I know the Administrators there very well. So I am sorta skeptical about joining the Official one. Not to say that the CW Ltd's forum will be any less or anything but I am the sorta person that tends to get stay in one spot. CWF is where I am. I sorta thought "Hum CWF is gonna have some competition" but I am not worried about our forum. CWF will continue to thrive.

I am glad that the CWF is not Offical. I think our forum would be different if it was. But glad that CW Ltd is making their own Offical forum for their fans.

That's all for now!

CWF and THKF!

Okay, so I found this forum sometime after the 2007 Super Bowl. I was at school and was looking up info in Celtic Woman and I found the forum! I think Danielle was the Administrator then and it was a nice forum. A few months after that it crashed. Then B&J created another one but it wasn't quite perfect. Something was missing.

That's when Aislin came along and used her magic to make what the CWF is today! It's pretty damn amazing! That girl has talent beyond anything I knew existed! Well, I got to know B&J pretty well and some of the forum members there. Then B&J left to pursue other projects and handed the whole forum over to OldFatGuy (OFG) and boy was that a huge MISTAKE! (JK OFG!) I slowly over the next few months developed a friendship with OFG. Then OFG was crazy enough to make Aislin an Admin! (hehe) OFG was going off to see his neice, Deirdre, that summer and put that crazy woman in charge! Needless to say we had a good time. We managed not to kill each other.

The CWF is my second home. I practically live there! When I am not in school or at work, you can find me in the CWF chat cause that's where I live! The members of the CWF are like family to me. I have formed a close bond with the Admins and the GM, Chris. CWF is a place for news, funny stories, amazing artwork, and of course the place to chat about Celtic Woman duh!

Although, there are a few members that get on my nerves. Hehe. But I am not about bashing on anyone.

The High Kings forum came around during the summer of 2008. Aislin had been secretly working on this for months. Once again she did a damn good job of it! She made the two forums share a database so all you have to do is click on the link at the top of the CWF and log in once and there you are! THKF! Aislin's talent never ceases to amaze me.

The CHAT! OMG, my home! lol Aislin, once again did an amazing job at linking the chat with the forum. She even added a cool background of the 5 original CW girls. Now though THK and CWF share a database, so you can choose from 3 background pics. Pretty nifty stuff.

I have to say that the CWF is the best thing that has happened to me since...ice cream was invented! I have met some awesome people there and hopefully CWF will continue to grow and flurish as it has been doing.

So come on over and take a look at our forum(s)! http://www.celticwomanforum.com/ and http://thehighkingsforum.com/ and if you dare, REGISTER! You won't regret registering! Just introduce yourself and you've got more friends then you will know what to do! Most of us are up to date on our shots!

That's all I have to say about this!

Alex Sharpe

Alex Sharpe joined Celtic Woman in the Spring of 2008 to fill in for Lisa Kelly who was on maternity leave. She was a great addition. She is now taking the place of Orla Fallon for the Spring 2009 tour! I have not seen her in concert yet, so I am very excited to hear her for the very first time. I was sorta nervous at first but once I heard her on youtube, I realized that there wasn't anything to worry about. She fit perfectly with the group!

I had to laugh when CW Ltd put her as "Alex White" in their newsletter for November. I laughed. I figured that they meant Sharpe. It was quite funny. Some forum members of CWF were thoroughly confused. Thanks to one of the Admins of CWF, CW Ltd caught it and apologized for the confusion. Hey, mistakes happen. At least we were paying attention!

Well, Alex glad to have ya on this tour! Can't wait to hear about ya in the Spring!

Orla Fallon Leaves Celtic Woman

Orla Fallon of Celtic Woman has decided to take a full time break from touring to spend time with family and to work on her new album. I was sorta expecting this. At first she and Alex Sharpe were gonna rotate during the Isle of Hope Spring '09 tour. Then she made the decision to take a full time break from touring and I respect her decision deeply. It is not easy being on tour. You travel to the city in the early hours of the morning sometimes and sleep for a few hours. Rehearse for the show that day and the show starts that evening. Then you pack up and go onto the next city. It tends to get exhusting and with being away from family, it can be even harder trying to spend time with them.

I have the upmost respect for Orla wanting to spend time with her family. She had a wonderful time with Celtic Woman in the last few years. She got to sing at Carneige Hall, her life long dream. She sang to a sold out crowd at Radio City Hall. She sang for the President of the United States. She sang in Europe and Japan. What more could you ask for? To be able to travel thousands of miles away from your family, to pursuit your dreams, to put smiles on thousands of fans, to inspire children, and to see the world... that to me is what being a Celtic Woman is all about.

So, Orla, thanks for the smiles that you gave me. Thanks for the wonderful music you shared with your fans, and thank you for devoting your time and talent to the world. We will forever love you.
