I hope you are home and enjoying some down time with Family and those close to you. Thank you so much for your kindness to all your fans during your recent tour, and for giving so much of your time to bring us your wonderful music. Meeting you was something I'll carry with me always...and yes, I'm STILL smiling...LOL! Looking forward to seeing you on the next tour in Cleveland and NY. Take care, enjoy the rest that home and family bring, and Bless you for your gifts to us! Bruce |

Just got your e mail!! Oh Bless you Dear Orla!!! Thank you SO much for taking the time to write back to me. It's just after 8 a.m. here, I just got your e mail, and I am in tears of joy! Thank you sooo much! I Love your newest CD. I knew it would be just beautiful too!! Dear lady, you will always have my support. You, are a 1st class act. No one else ever has taken the time to write to their fans as you have with me. I can imagine you must be so terribly busy in life these days. If you ever do come to the Los Angeles area. I'd love to know in advance, I do owe you such a big hug and a thank you. I am, as I type this, listening to your c.d. once again. "Distant Shore". I've got goose bumps so bad, they hurt! LOL!!! I have for some time, been into graphic art. It is my passion really. I have in the planning, a portrait of a certain beautiful music artist that sings so beautifully, and plays the harp better than Angels! I wonder if I could send it to her when I'm done? I wanted to send you some samples of my work, but I don't have a way here to do that. Portraits are what I do. Like the magical music you create, I love what I do so much. And I have been so inspired. I would LOVE to send a portrait your way. It may be a while though, as I am quite busy with current projects. But, if you would like one, a promise is a promise. And I promise you will get one. To pass on to whomever you would like to. It's no trouble. As I said. I do love what I can do with art. I am sure you must get tons of gifts from fans. I have recently drawn up one portrait for Mairead Nesbitt, and auctioned it off. All the money raised, went to a charity she sponsors. "Oxfam Ireland Unwrapped." At this point in time, she has no idea the amount raised. Well, it's over $1000.00. I'll say that much. I will be delivering a portrait to Dear Ms. Chloe Agnew in November, on the tour, and to Lynn Hilary then too. I do understand about having one's privacy. If there is a fan club address in which to send it, then that would be best. Dear Lady, I could write volumes. But I know you must be so busy, and I've written so much here already. In closing, just know that you have a friend though have not met me yet, that is truly grateful to you, for this wonderful & precious gift that you have shared with me. One day, that hug WILL be yours as well. Once again, thank you so much.. . For everything. My gosh, I am in tears again! Truly, this is the stuff of life. Sincerely & respectfully yours, Glenn W. Skinner, A.K.A. The Rotten Rebel rottenrebel@verizon.net |

Never thought an ol'e redneck like me would amazed and wowed by anything other than George Strait, and other country artist, but I was wrong. Thanks for opening my eyes and ears.

I was wondering if it is hard to play the harp? because I want to learn how to play the harp but I have to much going on right now to add in ather one because I'm taking piano and violin right now I just started the violin last september 4th, 2008 but I'm already playing songs on it and taking it to a music camp. I wish you could hear me play the piano or the violin sometime. Love, Heather Joy Beardsley |

| Comments: | Dear Ms. Orla,
It's nice to see that your career is progressing so nicely. I always enjoy your music. I especially enjoy the songs that you sing in Gaelic. Just over 50 years ago I married an Italian girl from northern Italy. It was many years later that I came to realize just how much the Celts influenced that part of Italy. My father-in-law always called his pants "braccai" just as the ancient Celts did in 350 BC. That was when he spoke dialect. In pure Italian, pants are called pantaloni. It was the word braccai that made me realize why the Italian song was in the album Celtic Woman. If you have not already done so I hope you will visit Aviano, Italy and the surrounding area. If you do, try to find some of the older Italians to speak with and ask them to speak in dialect. You may be surprised to hear just how much Gaelic is in some of their dialects. Every year the people of Aviano dress up much like the ancient Celts and hold a dance. I lost my wife just a few months ago. April 2009 would have been our 50th anniversary but she didn't make it. Always keep a song in your heart and don't let life and your career stress you out. Silver |

I have the DVD Celtic Women, A New Journey, the one that is recorded live at Slane Castle. There is a quick shot of a woman in the audience immediately following your performance of Carrickfergus. The camera captures the emotion on the womans face like nothing I have ever seen. She is smiling and has tears in her eyes at the same time. Every time I watch it, I back it up and look at it several times, it's easy to miss if your not really paying close attention. If you have seen this for yourself, then you know how we all feel when we see you perform. |

Since I began to listen to Celtic Woman I finally had a chance to have enough money for my family to see them this spring. We really enjoyed the show but having listened to previous concerts on my computer I could see that there was an element that was missing that you furnished with your harp and lovely voice. I look forward to your new release and wish you and your family all the best. |

| Comments: | Dear Orla,
I am an ELL (English Language Learner) Teacher in Twin Falls,Idaho, USA. I was introduced to your music by the PBS special airing of Celtic Woman's first DVD a few years ago. I saw Celtic Woman in Boise 2 years ago, and loved the show. I love your music so much because you sing with a deep sense of intimacy with the history, cultural backgound and spirituality your music reflects. I am also partial to stringed instruments. I play guitar (both acoustic and electric) as well as the electric bass, and I am currently learning to play the ukelele. I am excited to hear about your new opportunity to play with Jim Brickman, and will be looking forward to seeing the performance on PBS. I am wondering when your new album is coming out. I am hoping it will be soon!! I would love to have several albums of your music because of the depth and annointing I sense when I listen to it. There are many great musicians worldwide, but few who also have an annointing to play or sing as you have. It reminds me of the annointing God allowed David to play under when he played for King Saul and soothed him in his troubled frame of mind. It's a powerful and refreshing thing, and it blesses me to hear you play. Thanks for sharing your music with us all, and I hope you continue to record more music as you are able to so we can enjoy it even more! God bless you!! Sincerely, Ruth Ann Helton P.S. I tried twice to send this as an e-mail but was unable to do so. I hope you don't mind me sending it this way! :) |

After the show I overheard several people asking if you have released a cd, and I assured them that you have and it is readily avaiable online. I really hope that no portion of your performance is cut from the video release as you were fantastic and everyone should have a chance to see you. I can honestly say that none of your fans will be disappointed. By the way, what was the name of the first song that you sang, I didnt recognize it and I do not recall that it was mentioned, oh well. If planning on touring for your new album, that would be a great venue... hint hint. Bye for now. |

| Comments: | Hi Orla,
I just wanted to tell you that my the course of my life has often left me numb to the things and happenings around me. Your voice and your words in the songs you sing deeply move me however, spiritually and emotionally. I see and feel great beauty to the point that I often feel my heart will burst. I wanted to say "thank you". It is unlikely that I will ever meet you in person, or that you might even read this note, but if angels truly sing and play harps in heaven....one of my first requests of God when I get there will be that you become my friend. I guess that's all I know how to say. Take care of yourself. Sincerely, Phillip |

I will be looking forward to "Guide Me Home" being available and listening to more of your music.

I just saw the Isle of Hope show here in Cincinnati on Wednesday and couldn't help thinking it just wasn't the same without you. In fact a women next to my wife and I was pretty upest you weren't there, she bought the meet and greet pass to try to meet you. We met Mairead (my second time meeting her, always a pleasure) and Lynn (a wonderful addition, very nice) I was fortunate enough to see you in 07 on the New Journey tour which was truly magical for me. Can't wait for your new CD and to maybe see you (and meet you) on your new tour. Go raibh maith agat for all you do, Jason |

| Comments: | I first heard Celtic Woman on our local PBS TV station and I must say I was hooked from the start. I love the music and the way it is presented. I have started my collection of CDs and DVDs. I have also sent some of Celtic Woman info to my friends. Due to my disabilities I was not able to attend the concert that was in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area this year. I hope that someday I will be able to attend a live concert. That would be a dream come true! I am sure that I will enjoy recieving your newsletter and following your career. Thank you for the music and keep it coming. |

| Comments: | On June 7, 2009, my family and I saw a Celtic Woman Concert in Virginia in the United States. I was a most glorious experience but there was one thing missing. Orla Fallon. Orla is the most wonderful singer and musician and has caused such a change in the style of music that I love. Celtic and Irish music is so beautiful and having heard it sung by Orla makes it even more wonderful. I hope someday that I will hear and see Orla on stage performing with Celtic Woman again. Meav, Orla, Chloe, Lisa and Mairead are a group that are unmatched! With voices like angels listening to these beautiful women is like being in heaven listening to the angels. Love to Orla!

| Comments: | Hello Orla, My name is Mia and I play the CELTIC Harp just like you. My harp is about the same size as your harp. I named my harp Emily. What did you name your harp. I also sing while playing my harp. You have a haunting voice. My dream is to meet you in Ireland. I love to sing in Gaelic because it fits my voice. When all you sing You Raise Me Up, you always strike my heart strings. That's one reezon I learned to play that song.
P.S DON'T FORGET to tell the girls and David Downs I said HI!! Have A CELCIC Day Love Mia |

It touches my soul, as it does many others. However, I will say that I missed seeing and hearing you in Celtic Woman in Charlotte, but I understand that touring schedule is hectic. Please keep performing and stay in the media so we can see and hear you. May God be with you and your family always. |

My garden is planted and I'm waiting for it to settle in and take off. I was sorry to see the tulips finally fade last week but that means the daylilies will be coming on soon! I hope you are finding time for your garden. How is your album coming? I can hardly wait! A friend has taken my almost 5 year old, Benjamin to go play and his brother Sam (18months) is sleeping. A great time to listen to your music and have a cup of tea! Take care and blessings, Kate |

| Comments: | Dear Orla,
I recently participated in an auction that is helping our friend, Kelli. The item I bid on was your CD and I am so excited that I was the highest bidder. Rich is mailing it to me, soon I hope. I have had a copy of your CD for a long time, but I never got to meet you when you were on tour with Celtic Woman, and never got your autograph. It will mean a great deal to me to have this autographed copy of your CD, because it is from you, and because it was for a great cause of helping Kelli. I attended another Celtic Woman concert last night. The girls are doing a great job and I love the new show. Alex is fantastic, and is doing her part to keep the tradition of Celtic Woman going strong, but I still miss your presence, your voice, your spirit, your smile, your harp, your energy. I dream of a reunion someday, of all the beautiful women who have contributed to Celtic woman, being together on stage. Now, that would be a beautiful dream come true. In the meantime, I am eagerly awaiting your new album. I will be among the first on line to buy as soon as it is available. Best wishes to you with this album and with your trip to Cananda to tape the PBS special. I remain a devoted fan. Lucie |

I was just here on the computer and was thinking about you so I decided to drop by here and say hi. My daughter Heather says hi also. We have missed you on the CW tour. I hope your solo career is going well, we'll keep you in our prayers. If I had known back in Baton Rouge that you were leaving I probably would have cried right there, you have touched my heart in a very special way. But we all must move on to bigger and better things and I wish you the best and if I can help somehow, I will do what I can. We'll spread the word about you. Take care, I hope to meet you again someday. Thank you, you mean so much to us. le grá go deo Phillip |

But the cute little girl on the right looks like an actress that use to play "Darlene" on the T.V. show Roseanne - are you familiar with that show??!

| Comments: | Orla,
I am a combination of jealous and stupid. My wife's note went through and mine did not. To make matters worse, you were kind enough to reply to her. In all sincerity, you cannot appreciate how much your departure from the Celtic Woman has been missed by your fans. We have had the opportunity to see the Celtic Woman perform a total of four times at three different locations (Memphis, TN; University Park, PA; and Wilkes-Barre, PA). The performance was special to me because both my wife and myself felt like you were singing directly to us and continuing your song to the whole audience. This was one performance I wished we could have met you during the Meet and Greet. I can fully appreciate your choice not to continue with the Celtic Woman Tour, at least at this time. How you ladies are able to be away from home for seemingly months on end is beyond me. I know from personal experience working for an automotive manufacturer, that just being away from my family for a week or sometimes two at a time that I missed so much. I also see that you will be performing at Niagara Falls next month. I wish we could attend, but we truly have not had the time to visit our children-who at this point are about your age-or our other relatives in several years. I look forward to your future performances, whether live or on a CD/DVD. I don't know whether to say you have a haunting, calming, or angelic voice, but please keep on performing! You are truly missed. |

I have met life-long friends through the Celtic Woman forum, and there are so many areas that have been enriched in my life because of you and the other CW members. I am very pleased for you to be having this much deserved solo career now that you have said your (I'm sure) teary goodbyes to your CW family. But you know they will always be your other family, and it wasn't really goodbye! I remember reading that you love horses... now maybe you can find a lovely horse and have a new friend for life!!!

Glenn, A.K.A. The Rotten Rebel here. Just dropping a line simply just to say hello. Hope you are well. I sure do miss hearing you sing. Heck, I just miss you. I cannot wait to hear this next C.D. that you are working on. If you can, in the next few weeks, check out Mairead's forum web site. I will be posting a portrait of her, and there will be a raffle. All the money raised, will go to her charity. (Oxfam Unwrapped). I'll drop another note when we get the raffle up & running. I was wondering, if you have a charity that you sponsor. Drop me a line if by chance you do. Maybe I can do something to help. P.S. I still owe you that Big Hug. Take care Pretty Lady! Sincerely & respectfully yours, Glenn, A.K.A. The Rotten Rebel |

Well, just read the inaugural edition of your newsletter. Wow, what great stuff there! You really are just a lovely, down to Earth lady doing what The Lord put you here to do, and that is give the world beautiful music. How wonderful and exciting to work with some very familiar members of Celtic Woman on your CD. How cool is that doing a song written by Ray Fean! I should have known he wrote songs too! Maybe some day a Celtic Woman will sing one of my songs. Have a wonderful time with Jim Brinkman and the rest at Niagara Falls. That is going to be a beautiful creation. It really is nice seeing you doing all of these things in your solo career. I love to see Mairead doing the whole Tinker Bell thing too to build on her solo future as well whenever she makes the decision to follow that path.

| Comments: | Hello Orla!!
I first want to say that I'm sorry for sending an E-mail! I know that you get quite a lot, and i hate myself for being one of those people...but anyway, i just wanted to thank you for all of the hard work that you do. You're such a wonderful influence on my life!! My name is Autumn. I am 13 years old, and i am in the eighth grade in Virginia. I just want to say, your music is absolutely incredible, and nothing I play on my instrument can match the talented things you have either written or played. I am working hard on playing/singing isle of inisfree, and a few other soft pieces. My Church choir director is helping me with that. I just want to let you know that you are amazing!! Thank You for being who you are!! |

| Comments: | Orla,
we saw the new Celtic Woman show, without you in it. It was nice but not the same without you. My husband always loved you best. We saw you in person 3 times. In Memphis, TN, State College, PA and Wilkes Barre, PA. Each and everytime you were just as beautiful as the next. |

Thank you for your first newsletter. I really enjoyed reading it and was so excited you included pictures of yourself from different ages, and a couple of recipes. I am so eager for your CD to be released and hope you will be coming to the US soon so. I wish I could go to Canada to see the taping of the PBS special. I know you will be so terrific. You always light up a stage with your beauty and grace. Hope each day brings a new joy into your life. Thanks for the joy you have brought into mine through your music. Love you, Lucie |

Good luck in your new endevors and please make sure to let us know when you will be performing in the New York area again as we definitly would like to see and hear you again. |

I was so glad to find out about your special in June and a new album. I had the privilige of seeing you in concert 3 times with Celtic Woman. Every time you play the harp it is magic. I listen to your first album all the time. I can't wait to see you in the special, and what a setting for it. Your music has meant a great deal to me for a long time, and just wanted to say how much I appreciate you. Thanks, Stu |

But I just went to CW show last night at Greek Theatre.(Long term saving haha) It is different without you.... I saw you in last year's show and I am so taken in awe... Best of luck and I wish you all the best! |
