Check the String Sisters video "Da Trowie Burn". It's the closest to a solo Catriona performance. The first and last tune in this set were both composed by Annbjørg Lien. I'm not sure who wrote "Irlandia", but Catriona & Annbjørg have performed that tune together for many years.
@xxchangeling Been reading up on that- the Shetland Islands are closer to Norway than Scotland so there is Norwegian influence including the Hardanger.

I love the two of them, they sound so great together! Is Catriona Macdonald pregnant, she looks kind of pregnant?

Catriona MacDonald is such an amazing fiddler, too bad there are no videos of her playing solo.
Please upload them.
By the way, are they playing a Scottish or a Norweagian tune, because the other girl uses a Hardanger Fiddle!?

Marvelous, as always! I do love the very relaxed playing style of both women.
