Loreena McKennitt - The Visit Revisited - Pre-Tour Interview 

So much respect for this lady!!! Her voice has shined light on my darkest times! Thank you!!!!

Voice of an angel, I've been a huge fan since 1996 💗

I got to meet her in 2007 on the ancient muse tour, in London, Ontario. Such an incredibly sweet woman. I had bought the tickets thinking it was London, England, because I was too excited to pay attention. Travelled from Sweden to Canada anyway and it was such an incredible show. Memory for life.

I love her. When I was a troubled teenager, I listened her for the first time, and it helped me a lot to look for peace in my troubled life. Now I'm almost 30, and my life is much better now. Thank you Loreena.

Hope I get to see her concerts next year her voice is haunting and beautiful

One of the most beautiful voices in the world. Her music is magical.

I had the extreme pleasure of meeting this beautiful lady before hearing her music ! The night I met her I became a instant fan of her music and since have continued to admire her for her humanity and dedication to and for the welfare of people and the environment in general and this now CRAZY world we all inhabit ! We're lucky she calls Canada home ! Thank you for who you are and ALL you do ! ❤❤❤

When I heard your voice in "Tango to Evora" I felt something inside me that I will never be able to explain, it touched me deeply!

Beautiful soul and voice of an angel ❤️🇧🇷

La Diosa de la arte.. Lorenna Mckennitt la voz es un patrimonio mundial 👏👏👏👏🇪🇦🇪🇦🇪🇦 amoooo

Her voice combined with my own intuition guided me after a wrong turn onto a forgotten California highway. The night was ink black and so twisty and winding that I could only drive 20 MPH. It was the eeriest experience thus far in my life (but it led me to accept that I needn’t have unnecessary fear surrounding such experiences) When I finally came upon a gas station, I ran inside, map in hand (the year was 1993) and demanded the clerk point to the location on the map. After showing me where I was, he pointed to the forgotten highway I’d just blindly navigated, ominously warning me to NOT go that way. I yelled in frank disbelief that I’d just been on that road. Oh my. This woman’s voice ❤

Canadian icon. Going to see her on the 9th October saw her many times over the years epic artist.

I wish we could clone Loreena, we need MANY more just like her. Absolutely my favorite artist and music!

SIMPLY THE BEST OF THE BEST! LOREENA, YOU ARE THE GODDESS OF MUSIC!!! GODDESS, GODDESS... GODDESS... FOREVER, ETERNAL GODDESS !!!

Que tranquilidade e paz sua voz proporciona. Maravilhosa 💜💜💜

Had the privilege to see her on stage here in Brasil. She's really unique, amazing experience.

Shes beautiful!!! Her music makes me feel all sorts of ways that much other music cannot

I would love to have a conversation with her. I could listen to her all day. She is so intelligent and down to earth.

Wonderful..wonderful Loreena. I have followed her carrier for over 30 years now. The highlight was the concert in Granada Spain. The amazing palace of the Alhambra and Loreenas music made the evening magical. I will never forget that evening.❤️❤️❤️

She is an absolute national treasure :) 💕

Loreena has been a part of my life for over 40 years. Such a deep connection to my heart and spirit, of which gives overwhelming hope for Humanity, Nature, and, Our Planet !!!! 🙏🌎🌍🌏🙏 A-PRECIOUS-MEN 🙏🌎🌍🌏🙏💗🙏💗🙏

Mi diosa espero verte de nuevo en Barcelona. El concierto del 2019 fue mágico ✨️ 😍 💕

Thank you for touring again! Your music follows me, ever since I was a teenager 25 years ago. Now I am 42 and it is still an important part of my life (as one can see on my RU-vid channel, where you can find a few a cappella covers of some of your wonderful songs). Sadly I never saw you live, even though I know the full Alhambra concert by heart, and visited Alhambra palace 2 times by now, because of it. The possibility that you might visit Europe again just gave me goosebumps. If that happens, I will make sure to be able to attend. The one time you were in my hometown Nuremberg, I had a play myself in the drama theatre, since I am a stage manager. Also, I would gladly be part of your crew if I were closer. Anyway, thank you for enriching my life with your work! Tommy

Great artist. My respects from Rio de Janeiro. 😊

Thank you Loreena for your craft, creativity, integrity and care that you put into every single song, album and performance….the world is far richer with you (and your troupe) in it!!! Your music is the soundtrack of my life. ❤ Blessed Be 🙏

Such a lovely interview . Hoping to see you on tour next year so so much. ❤

We saw her at Massey Hall (Toronto) on Monday. Absolutely loved the show! 👏👏👏

I had always dreamed of watching you live in my home country of Turkey and yet my first Loreena McKennitt concert was in Scotland (I can now die happy knowing I partook in a magical experience). I hope you'll grace us with your music in Scotland and Turkey again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the amazing music, stories and artwork all through the years. We love you so very much 💜

Know you are Loved Worldwide! Bless you with good health and happiness 💜

She is a wonderful candle light and we need her in France, for hopes and breath. She is a priority medecine for all.

She's what "artist" means..... what a lady!!!! huge fun from Greece✨✨✨

Going to see Loreena on october 5th at the Grand Théâtre of Québec city... priceless ❤️🙏❤️

I'm seeing her live for the first time on October 3rd. Her music has been a huge part of my life and I'm so excited to finally see one of my favourite artists in person.

I LOVE HER...such an eloquent speaker...

The first time I heard her music was in the mid 1990s when I was a teenager, and I've loved it ever since!

Beautifully retreat. Love the interview looking forward to listening to your gorgeous music God bless

❤️ I've been listening to their songs for years and they give me strength and calm. whenever I feel very bad, I hear her calm, loving voice.

My daughter and I hope to see you on tour in the States , we both love your music. I’ve been lucky to see you 3 times so hope my daughter can enjoy a full show as well :)

I'M A LIFE-LONG FAN !-- TY Loreena! for your angelic voice, musical talent & dedication to your art & to those of us who follow you!🤗 Whether you've loved Loreena since the '90's or more recently, she has a way of inspiring & uniting us all - & touching our spirits !!! TY soul songstress for everything ❤️

Je suis si fan de vous et de vos musiques Loreena, merci pour ces magnifiques notes que vous partagez avec tant, tant d’émotions et rêves et qui me transportent vers des autres contrées ❤

Loreena truly seems like a warm, lovely person. I got to see her perform back in 2016 in Cleveland, and she is the same on stage. If she comes back to Ohio, I will definitely get tickets.

I love her so much. She is glowing like The Fairy she is to me. That's what I've been calling her for ages now. Every concert I've been to was simply magical and I'll return as often as I can.

1985, Elemental was released. My mother bought the album, and the first time I heard that record, I had no idea what was happening to my body. I had goose pimples and a huge spiritual awakening. I was 6 years old. I have been a fan my whole life (well, minus 6 years). I'm 44 this year. And she still give me goose pimples every time she opens her mouth. ❤❤❤

Saw her in concert tonight! Her voice is still amazing!!! ❤❤❤

It's been so Interesting listening to you talk , it seems like your music has been such a huge part of my life ,I can't remember exactly when it was that we first bought some of your CDs but it was before I was pregnant in 96 , my husband and I found them in a little shop in Glastonbury in the UK , and you have been played through every part of our lives since ,I paint to your music , my daughter was raised to it , every winter we drove that cold winter away , it's just a magical part of our lives , and I thank you x

So looking forward to the tour. The times I was able to see her in concerts it was a fantastic experience. I was impressed by the balanced sound you could enjoy, no matter at which venue she played.

You almost have to be esoteric to Enjoy this Absolutely Gifted lady "......she bridges cultures together with her music .

Loreena, I discovered your music back in 2020 in the midst of the pandemic, and I instantly fell in love with your music. The first song I heard from you was "Prologue", it's amazing and powerful!

Good to see you again! Loved 'The Visit' tour mid-90s in Vancouver, , a long-time listener and appreciator of your voice and music! :-)

Even her talking voice sounds beautiful ❤️

Much love, my darling Loreena xXx Your gorgeously moving song "Dante's Prayer" changed my life and viewpoint for the better and I can't possibly thank you enough for that when I was in a moment of such utter despair ❤️ This v articulate and informative interview is such a joy! Thank you xx

I love listening to her in this conversation. I could listen to her read the dictionary.

I have Ben a fan of loreena mckennitt for years she has such a angelic voice love all of her albums!!

The first CD I ever purchased was Loreenas, I think it may have been $35 back in 1995. I'd love to see her live one day, and I guess that better be soon before she retires!

She is incredible and transports you to a simpler time and space. Has been a comfort for me since 1990…I remember where I was when I heard her for the first time on an Indy style radio station back in the day

Sending good vibes Loreena .. Thank you so much. Your music is truly wonderful.

How wonderfull see You again! Your show in Cracow was incredible! I hope we meet again soon here in Poland!

I can’t wait to see Loreena in Montreal this week. I’m travelling from Australia.

I adore Loreena McKenitt whole-heartedly. I would like to meet her to honor her grace person. Hail the divine Loreena 💕

How lovely to hear from you! It would be such a joy to see you perform again. I can hear from the interview that you enjoy it as well. Hope this can be a reality in a easier way in the near future! Thanks for your art and getting amazing artists together to bring your visions to life!

Ever since I heard "Bonnie Port more" I've been a fan of her very transcendent singing and how she really does bring echoes of ancient mysteries to her music. I've passed from middle to old age with her music. Now my favorite is "Wild Mountain Thyme", because it reminds me of the life beyond.

Ela é maravilhosa! Tenho 36 anos e, acompanho o trabalho dela há 20 anos... Suas músicas embalaram muitos dos meus momentos, bons e ruins!!! Minha trilha sonora favorita!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

The voice of an Angel! No lie. My go to nighttime music.

Wow, such a wonderful lady to listen to. She has so many great qualities as a performer and person. I fell in love with her music the first time I heard it in a bookstore in Quebec in 1995. I did see her live at Massey Hall in the late 1990 the concert was half of her Live in Toronto and Paris CD, it was truly fabulous. Loreena is actually performing live tomorrow Oct 8th where I live in Kingston, Ontario. Loreena is such a favourite artist of mine that she is 1 of only 2 artists that I could fill my 5 CD carousal CD player with 5 of her CD's and listen to them all without wanting to take a break from her music. The other artist is Asha. Loreena in a nice way reminds me of Enya who I also love most of her music. However Loreena is less processed and more symphony sized music, with he specialized instruments for that amazing Celtic and worldly sound. Of course Loreena's amazing voice is the divine touch and magic that carries all her music along in a special experience to enjoy in endless ways. I do own about 10 of Loreena's CDs and 2 of her DVDs. Her greatest hits CD compilation also has a live CD that is so truly fabulous. Loreena's music to me in a way is proof that there is a God as it couldn't exist without such Divinity existing in the world. Thank you Lorenna, perhaps I will se you live tomorrow night Oct 8, 2022. Until we meet again, thank you.

What a lovely, wise, beautiful soul! And her voice, I could listen to her talk for hours. (I listen to her sing for hours, alright!)

I stayed a while in Amsterdam after your concert, hoping to see you, but now understand why you couldn't. But it was a joy and inspiration seeing you on stage❤❤❤ love you and your music forever⭐

Una mujer maravillosa con una voz espectacular. ☀️🌄🌌✨🌹❤️ El entorno es un jardín lleno de vida. Saludos Loreena . Aunque el tiempo pase tan rápido sin darnos cuenta sigues siendo un ángel con tu voz universal .

Your music has touched my soul. I have listened to Loreena for many years, and as each year goes by I am profoundly grateful she shares her talent with us.❤️

I really love her so much, my first time listening to her music was when i had 10/12 years old and then, she came to Argentina and i meet her in a famous library, i remember that i was crying bc it was a dream come true, i think i had 14 years old at that time. A few years later i went to one of her concerts.. for the first time and It was the best experience of my life, now i´m 25 and i can't wait to see her again, she inpires me a lot, honestly her music brings me back home

I am beyond thrilled that LM is touring again. I appreciate her dedication to causes, but, musically, there is only one LM.

I love her, the late Art Bell turned me on to Lorenna, he had her in his bumper rotation, ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Loreena, você faz parte da minha vida. Suas músicas me levam a lugares impossíveis de serem verbalizados. Você é incrível. Obrigada por existir. :*

Voice of angel♥️

For the COVID insurance, please consider doing what Marillion did with their British tour last year. They asked the fans to donate any dollar amount and it was held in escrow via PayPal. The amount would cover any loss and the band offered either signed merchandise, photos or draws for merchandise. The tour was a full success, no cancellations, and the money was returned to all who donated. A win-win for everyone. :)

Sim , Loreena , somos seus amigos 👍💖.

She is an Earth Angel .I love her Voice and Music so much . 🥰 It brings me in a mystic World to remember our real Home 🙏

Hello queen of music and art I am one of your fans from Saudi Arabia I like your music and love your song the lady of shalott. Wish you the best queen loreena

As a woman your music woke me up! I hope your music lives forever.

Cinematic Alpha loves you, your amazing music inspires our libraries.

Saw Loreena last night in Grand Rapids, and it was such a beautiful performance!! It was amazing to see her perform after over 25 yrs of enjoying her recorded work.

So looking Forward to seeing you Tonight..Seen you 2 Other times...In North Bay,2019 in November in Ottawa..tonight in Hamilton 😁You are so Beautiful I feel your music All through my Heart and Soul!!

I had no clue she was Canadian. Amazing! I’ve been a fan since 1996!

Teşekkürler Loreena MckeKennitt👍🏻

Got my ticket for Edmonton in November 2023, 3rd row from the stage. Can’t wait!!

You're still one of my favorite singers of all time... I first listened to your music in 2003 when I started building loudspeakers ... I was 23 at that time and "Mummers Dance" was always side by side with Tina Malias "Shores of Avalon". Love from Dresden/ GER.

Great artist she was and she is ; Just miss her Auburn hair .💜💜💜

As a Canadian, from the forgotten part of Canada (Alberta), I had to travel a long way to see you. I saw you, live, at the Scottish Rite Auditorium in Collingswood, New Jersey, October, 2015. You were magical. I would LOVE to see you out here so you can let your music heal what's ailing in the west since COVID. Please don't forget about western Canada. Love you!

I'm very grateful of having the chance to see her live, twice in one year. The first time in Montreal on October 2th 2022 and the second time, in Toronto on December 10th for her Christmas concert.

I was fortunate to see her in Nashville & Atlanta 🥰

I love the music of Loreena Mckennit. This is Coming from somebody who also loves the band KISS & generally Hard Rock music. Appreciating different music genre contrasts for me is a great thing

I saw her last tour in 2019, and look forward to seeing her again.

Glad to see Loreena on tour again. COVID was hard on a lot of musicians. Good to see things back to normalish.

Got tickets tonight to see her in Va. Check that off bucket list. Can't wait.

I've had the honour to listen to this fantastic musician and band in Porto Alegre, Brazil. It's amazing: her voice is even more powerful and beautiful live! I hope they come here again sometime.

she channels magic. glad she's still around and playing. i don't attend concerts anymore in my life but I would go to see her if she would be around my country.

I have come from Tennessee US to attend your concert in Hamilton on Saturday. My husband is treating me to this and I am more than excited. I first heard you when I came upon your rendition of The Highwayman, a poem that I have loved since I was very young (I am 75). From there I enjoyed listening to your other songs and love them all. Thank you for helping me survive the last few years and the challenges we have all faced. Donna

Love to see you again in the UK we need cheering up just now here.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HER
