message: The Members section only list one member and sounds like an advert for his album. Can someone please expand this section to include existing and former members. There is a list here that can help. Truthanado (talk) 17:16, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I've added and expanded some of the names on this list. I know that two more of the Celtic Woman soloists are ex Anuna, but I couldn't find anything out about what albums they are on. I apologize for the messy entries. I've swapped around the placing of the members section from the start of the article to the end, as it was quite confusing to read. Hope this is OK.ScheidtandHam (talk) 12:14, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It strikes me that if I continue with this list of names, the entire Wikipedia page for Anuna will look like a long washing list. From random research it appears that most of the singers are not full-time singers but in other professions or jobs, like teachers and doctors, and therefore may be accomplished in their own field but are not distinguished in music beyond their association with Anuna. So we omit some and include others? Does this page actually need this section at all?ScheidtandHam (talk) 11:12, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

text: I read this and I agree with it. From what I can see Anuna has had many hundreds of singers pass through it and the selected nature of the people on the page was quite very subjective. What I've done is to simplify the section by linking to the individual pages of the singers who were mentioned. This, at least, keeps the postings concerning individual singers' up to date.(UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.134.50.72 (talk)  
I have looked at this selected members paragraph, and it seems to me that they should be categorized more clearly. It appears that a number of past members have gone on to Celtic Woman, so they are in a paragraph together and I have divided them into Past and Present. I'll do one more edit now and take out all the information for those people that have profiles on Wikipedia already, as it seems to me that much of the information on them is less up-to-date than on their respective profiles.142.176.125.97 (talk) 19:54, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

message: Francis Ledwidge is one of the major influences on McGlynn and Anuna, and needs a proper coverage in the article, shurely? 178.176.23.66 (talk) 08:10, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I attended the Ledwidge memorial event that Anuna performed at the renovated Richmond Barracks for the poet's centenary in 2017 and I can testify to Michael McGlynn's expression of feeling on this matter, but am no expert in the area.  I will "ping" a couple of other editors who, I think, know more about Ledwidge.  I think a mention in the choir's article, McGlynn's article and the Ledwidge article might be appropriate, if it has been reported in suitable reference sources.

message: Came here looking for something on this outfit, which was some kind of offshoot or sub-choir of Anuna (sorry, no fadas here). All guys. Nothin' seen in the article, anyone could add? There was another sort of casual group, The Sunbeams, with several Anuna male singers, but I don't think they were officially connected. They did some corporate event. Funny, I don't recall any female subsidiary groups, the ladies seem instead to form the heart of the main choir. I guess there was Celtic Woman but that was something constructed, I won't insult by comparing to a boy band, but it sounded designed. Only saw the real Anuna twice, but it was impressive, sticks in memory, the long dark dresses swirling in and out between columns, both times in churches. Nice article, needs more pictures.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.173.35.205 (talk) 09:04, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes there are two offshoot groups, M'ANAM and Systir, both at .ie addresses, although Systir (six women) have only done a few concerts and were formed this year, but M'ANAM have an album and a number of tours and concerts and have an independent ethos more connected with Iceland. As far as I know Celtic Woman have no connection with Anúna of any sort other than the list of singers who have left Anuna to do that show, seems about 5 or 6. Looking at the Anúna singers bios on their site it also seems that many of the singers are not Irish as well. A good story there somewhere, and I note that they are not mentioned in any publicity or discussions about the 25th Anniversary of Riverdance either.213.233.150.107 (talk) 10:21, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  This is very interesting.  I have not come across these groups before.  I suspect they are not notable enough for their own articles yet but could exist in a section of the main article.  I will leave this to others for now, concentrate on the main topic.

message: Which piece? The track listing in the Riverdance articles don't identify a piece as Anúna's. Billfalls (talk) 18:54, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I can answer this! The opening of "Riverdance" is subtitled "Cloudsong" and the first thing you hear on the track is Annuna! TrevisoDude (talk) 10:26, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
