Postcards From Ireland

Released in 2021, Postcards From Ireland serves as both a studio album and a companion to a PBS television special, marking a continued evolution of the Celtic Woman brand under the musical direction of Darwis Herlihy. The album features the core lineup of Chloe Agnew, Megan Walsh, Muirgen O'Mahony, and fiddler Tara McNeill. Sonically, it represents the group's move toward a more cinematic, 'soundtrack-esque' approach to traditional material, blending Gaelic lyrics with lush, contemporary orchestration. Notable for its inclusion of 'May It Be' (originally by Enya) and a cover of Richard Thompson's 'Beeswing', the record demonstrates the group's ability to bridge the gap between traditional folk, New Age, and adult contemporary pop. It was recorded during a period of global transition, leaning heavily into themes of home, resilience, and the enduring nature of the Irish spirit, which resonated strongly with their international fanbase.
