Máiréad Nesbitt and a New Year

It is 2011 and we are in for many new surprises from Máiréad. With her talent and creativity, the sky is the limit for what she will have for us this year.

I will first share that Máiréad did not receive the IMA award this year for “Top Solo Performer in Concert.” I believe the reason for this was that many did not view her as a solo performer since she is part of Celtic Woman. No need to worry, this year we can place her back in the category of “Top Fiddler” and she will take the award home. But we already know that Máiréad is the best of the best.

The 2011 tour opens up in the states on February 4 in Florida. If you have not purchased tickets yet at a show near you, make sure you get them before they are all sold out. I have seen fans turned away because of sell out shows. Do not let that happen to you.

It has been announced that we are now permitted to take photos at meet and greets. So if you have a meet and greet pass, make sure to bring your camera with you. This does NOT mean we can take pictures during a show. This is not permitted, so please respect the policy.

Keep watching the Celtic Woman website for any updates and television appearances. With a new tour upon us, I expect to see some TV appearances.

Make sure to check out the new look to Pixie Land. You can find everything on Máiréad’s career including videos and photos.
