“I think when you hear Celtic Woman now compared to the early stuff, there will always be what I think is a very unique sound,” said Agnew, who still fondly remembers playing and shopping in Youngstown years ago. “I think we’ve been true to ourselves since day one, and at the same time it’s very important as a musician and performer to push yourself and challenge yourself with doing new things. So I think with the new show in particular, there’s a lot of new material that is very vocally demanding for the singers and it’s really wonderful.

“It’s just a joy to know that you can always do something new. But I think there will always be that ethereal unique sound that Celtic Woman has.”

“And there’s a lot of new material on there that I hope people will just come along and enjoy themselves. It’s a good way to escape for two hours of the day from the madness that can be our daily lives. So come along and forget about your troubles.”
