[cindyeatsme]

Does the "squatter" look with her legs help play the violin?

[mlbslugger62]

Tulloch Gorm

[deeteenh]

WOW ! Everything stays with this performance! Love it and such talent!

[AGrayPhantom]

I believe she played once in my hometown here in Oregon. She had a broken toe, but still got on stage and played and danced. A very coordinated, talented woman.

[GuitarSlinger2112]

The beginning of her solo fiddle rocks it! Love how she blends the piano parts in there.

[dougyfresh04]

oh my....

[mattxr2i]

Would anyone else love to see Natalie MacMaster vs Mairead Nesbitt in a fiddle duel? I think it would be awesome!

[victoriabagpiper]

Yeah, that's the ticket! Great stuff.

[Flicka2]

The pants gotta go!

[cvrnut09]

@Flicka2

Why? If you see the French Cartoon character Asterix, you can see the humor

[jemappelkatie]

@cvrnut09 noo not asterix! C'est Obelix!

[cvrnut09]

@jemappelkatie

Sorry.  Its still cool

[jemappelkatie]

[buskingil]

can i some how download this video?

[shamrockgirl804]

I downloaded RealPlayer or got an updated version of it. Now I'm able to download videos. I'm not sure if it will work for everyone but that's what I did.

[yomotoro]

yes you can and even 30 at atime by "batch loading"...first u get a flv player..then try for ex. Moyea ..or search (batch flv download) many totally free not just a free trial...after you have downloaded the videos in flv ..with a converter (ex. Moyea) many are free, you change them to ipod , wmp video ..ect. Search ..read inst. and be patient..

[proudrebel69]

Great fiddlin' girl, YHWH has blessed you with great talent, love it.

[cub4ucme]

just great.....!!!!!

[reelin1]

Natalie is great, but bagger52 in the post above is a Pigwho needs to cut down on his Viagra and grow up.

[Cynewulfe]

She's a bit old for my tastes, but any man that doesn't have an eye for jiggly titties is a man I wouldn't want standing behind me.

[bagger52]

the best!! luv to see those bigs jugs "giggle" when she really gets into it...lol.... comfy ride this babe!!!

[shawnyboie]

cape breton all the way!.lol

[firecrackerpackman]

Best I have ever heard!!! Love her!!!

[endallwarsnow]

Very catchy i'm digging it!

[GUTIAREST]

[Kingofdessert]

Natalie MacMaster I love you so much

You are amazing girl playing with the fiddle

You are an angle of fiddle

My God bless you

-- King-- Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

[yomotoro]

I bet all the tons of talent this woman has came with little work. If you don't fit in Natalie's pants shut up and listen...you might learn something.

[Flamencon]

Scathing remarks on this girl's appearance just go to prove how the 'glitz-mongers' have been right all along - as a female you have to look right... sad; just listen to what she plays

[jemappelkatie]

haha she is dressed like obelix!

good ol' french comics to go with some good ol' fiddle =P

[cvrnut09]

Obelix?

[jemappelkatie]

obelix et asterix is this french comic, and the guy named obelix wears THAT EXACT OUTFIT! except he's really fat and french haha

[cvrnut09]

Now that I think of it and after reading the previous post, its a sure bet she dressed like that on purpose. perfoeming is not fun unless you want to have loads of it. I like this ladys humor

[antigrassferry01]

wicked fast fingers

[keghvart]

eeeeeew this music is so shitttty!!!

[mick2dmax]

spare us all your pointless remarks

[samhaindk]

Why do you listen to it then?!

[Lochbesda16]

you're wrong... just plain wrong...

[Flamencon]

In what way?

[Seanforfor]

No one makes you listen - but I am glad you did and that you have an opinion I disagree with.......

[fiddlegee]

I love this

[Knepphallingen]

love her

[jmicney]

Great toe tappin music.

[kofblz]

Great playing but horrible outfit.

[magneto71]

she is a great performer i saw her play just a little while ago in the ottawa art center

[MyTwistedSister]

Very very good!

[WaxWhite]

woah obelix, stop playing violin. it makes me sad. bring me some good ol' rocks!

[egray103]

hey she may be dressed like obelix but she's damn good at what she does

[Nedzorz1]

LOL! Best snide-ass comment that O have read in a while!

[kirsty519]

why watch it then????? If you don´t like fiddle don´t listen.... or did your mouse voluntarily click the play button??

[gentlemandn]

ahahaha.... Obelix... too funny

[alecg133]

Im not sure, but I think the second and longest part is the Tulloch Gorm.

[fiddler9635]

wow your all so close minded...well most of you.

[barbkaus]

Just thanks indeed.

[crazysandy82]

Natalie rocks!

[shadowdragon665]

Say what you may about Celtic Women (as a group) ... but there's no denying Nesbitt is a world class player, and IMO, one of the best.

[stratele]

Taking a poll.....Who is better Natalie McMaster or Eileen Evers? As a fiddler, I appreciate all kinds of music with the fiddle.

[jakyb0y2]

natalie macmaster

[barbkaus]

Just love Natalie's fiddling.

[Flamencon]

Awesome! She lives and breathes it

[fiddlecase]

These are tunes from Natalie's Tullochgorum set on her Live disc

[Noi1588]

It was amazing seeing her play that last bit live last summer in Boston, I didn't even realize that she was the only person on the stage until my friend pointed it out to me.

[Taylor510ceL9]

Natalie is pretty impressive!

[upinfection]

Is she better than Celtic Women? ''Irish Folk''?

[jakyb0y2]

is the pope catholic? how could you even ask that? 'Celtic Women' are vomit-inducing, even their name is enough to make anyone familiar with traditional music cringe

[Eponine24601]

Agreed. Celtic Woman just isn't real. I've tried listening to them but... ick.

[batotten]

Why comparing them?

It's not a mach. They're all good. Just enjoy the music.

[Mgottlieb50]

This is just such a vertuoso bit of fiddling. Thanks!

[Taylor510ceL9]

Welcome! I am glad that you appreciate this music.

[GreekGoddess5678]

Tell me someone has David's Jig...That's my favorite of hers

[Taylor510ceL9]

I'm sorry, Natalie seldom names the tunes that she is playing.

[GreekGoddess5678]

It's this crazy fast one, it's on the Yours Truly CD and the Live CD from 2002

[PixiePunk]

It's here. Look for the "Natalie Plays the Fiddle" video that was posted by the same user...she's wearing the same outfit. It's the "David's Jig/Valerie Pringle's Reel" set. I much prefer the Live version than the studio one.

[Taylor510ceL9]

Thanks PixiePunk for fielding that for me. Just for that I will have to post another Natalie clip!

[PixiePunk]

Well yeah, baby! I've been waiting!!

[Taylor510ceL9]

I am really surprised that the fiddle didn't turn into a cinder!

[PixiePunk]

Thanks for the video! The tunes are Mary Scott (march) and Tullochgorum (strathspey).

[javivr]

Yes, that´s the Strathspey "Tullochgorum" with the six variations arranged by Scott Skinner.
