Perhaps Celtic Woman is finally realizing that Chloe gives the best interviews.
Two new tour articles about Celtic Woman have now appeared that include quotes from interviews with Chloe.Here's the first:

And here are a few of the choice observations from Chloe that it contains. Besides these, the article mentions her background, her famous parents, and her musical beginnings.
Quote:
"To us, America is like our isle of hope. It's the place where people could start a new life, and for the last four years, we've essentially lived here," Agnew said. "America was the first country to embrace Celtic Woman. Irish people are proud of their own, of course, but over here, you've opened your doors to us. It's been fantastic." [...]
When asked if the girls ever met any of the artists whose songs they cover, Agnew, a massive Groban fan, said with a bit of a squeal, "I am Josh's No. 1 fan. If I ever meet him, I may pass out." [...]
"We're typical girly girls. We spend too much money shopping. We go to the cinema and out for food. On a full day off, we might split up for the day, but by 6 p.m., everyone is ringing each other, saying, 'Do you want to grab a bite to eat?'"

I especially love the latter quote, because it's a reminder of one of Chloe's most wonderful qualities of all (and one that never gets enough attention) -- that she shows young women that they don't need to starve, the way the media tells them, but can be more comfortable, beautiful, and healthy eating normally and being curvy.
Here's the other article:

And a few Chloe quotes from it:
Quote:
"The Irish have a song for everything," Agnew said.
"I learned a song for milking the cow when I was growing up, you know? The Irish have always turned to music, in the hardest of times and the happiest of times. [...]
"From day one, we've been true to ourselves and true to our music. We haven't changed ourselves or our music to suit anyone else. We've just done what we love, and that comes across when we perform. People can see that it's genuinely coming from the heart."

Besides these, she also talks about "Oh, America," and how she has seen people cry when they perform it.
Both articles provide even more evidence of just how wonderful and captivating and charismatic Chloe is. Be sure to follow the links and read the whole articles, especially the first, as they present Chloe in a wonderful light.
I think that this comment confounds any pessimism about Celtic Woman winding down (and as someone who is given to pessimism myself, I fully understand the inclination). On the contrary, it is blazing ahead at full speed, and Chloe is the tireless engine that is powering the group. 
So they have to stick around for at least the next 10 to 20 years
