Most CELTS are actually the LOST TRIBES of Israel! Please read the NEW KING JAMES version of Psalm 149-150! To Understand that Our Holy Songs are Praise to The Lord...to BIND the "nobles and kings" in FETTERS and CHAINS! We will win...they will lose. This HONOR...have All the Saints! Let everything that has BREATH - PRAISE THE LORD - AMEN!
Mairead is my favorite member of Celtic Woman simply because she is able to multitask (play and dance) so effortlessly. Celtic Woman is at its best when she's doing her things and the other members are singing together.
Why do most of the people need to mistake religion with natural talent and beauty? I'm atheist and I love these women, and it has nothing to do with God or any divine invention.
@KaosKrusher Actually, she loses more (horse) hairs from the bow (broken during performance) than she does her own hair. At times, she really pounds that violin as she flies across the stage, but the results are outstanding, especially if you get to hear and see her perform live.
Irish music is like sex, starts of slow, and ends in an explosive orgasm.Totally awesome,So is this, Incredible lady.I am Not Irish, but am jealous of you guys.Love it.I think (mvanfanel ),is right.She seems to be an angel sent to earth.Beautiful and talented,with a Violin, makes for incredible music.
Absolutely wonder perfection. Every single one of these women is superb at what they do. I say it all the time but these women are wonderful. When she gets to do the up temp songs - I love seeing the joy on her face. Just great. Thanks for the post.
They settled there not because it reminded them of home. They went there to get away from the persecution of the Quakers and other religious communities in the north and New England. They went to be alone to live their life style in freedom. Hunters, farmers, and Reformed church with Presbyterian overtones.
I play fiddle and totally love her playing! I am trying to learn some of the stuff she plays, and only have is the first part of the butterfly so far! she is a great fiddler!
@MegaSuperDonovan....This Ladies name is Mairead Nesbitt...She is an Irish born and bred multi award winning violinist/fiddler... She plays both classical and traditional music with equal ease, even though she was told she couldn't be good at both...
@Gizmologist09....Nobody said those drums were "conga" drums, We know those are bodhráns. The comment was about a different video.....geeeeeeez You might try reading the whole message thread before jumping down someones throat...
Gosh I just love this song... it sounds like an argument XD you can hear the conflicting sides... first part then at 1:05 it's almost like it's saying "Buuuuut..." then it goes into the other side XD then at 1:36 it's like it's saying: "Aaand.... " and then the two sides conclude! LOL. I love it when you don't have to hear the words to know what the music is saying :)
huynhminhtri, (whew!) Many Scotch and Irish settlers in this country ended up in the Appalachian Mountains. The music they brought with them influenced "hillbilly" music. It really was the same. Mostly reflecting the sadness of leaving their homelands and families. However not all of it was sad as these same people did know how to "party"!
@huynhminhtri....Many Irish and Scottish imigrants settled in the Appalachian Mountains because the area reminded them of Ireland and Scottland. The traditional music that they brought with them from Ireland and Scottland became what you Americans call "hillbilly" or Bluegrass music... Most of the imigrants from Ireland and Scottland were NOT the rich and powerful. They left Ireland and Scottland to get away from those kind of people. Most were farmers and laborors.
@gaeilge101 Sam, will you please tell me about the drums played in THE CONTRADICTION? Being a drummer by trade, I find them fascinating! And the solo on Mo Ghile Mear is excellent even though we're not sure about the Conga Drums being a part of Celtic Music history! Thanks, your friend Mac
@mac23skidoo...The bodhrán is an Irish frame drum ranging from 25 to 65 cm (10" to 26") in diameter, with most drums measuring 35 to 45 cm (14" to 18"). The sides of the drum are 9 to 20 cm (3½" to 8") deep. A goatskin head is tacked to one side (synthetic heads, or other animal skins are sometimes used). The other side is open ended for one hand to be placed against the inside of the drum head to control the pitch and timbre.
@mac23skidoo....What can I say...except no Conga Drums aren't traditionally Irish...But at no time has it ever been said that Celtic Woman would only do traditional Irish music and I guess that goes for instruments too..... Ha Ha.. David Downes is responsible for all the arrangements that Celtic Woman does and he likes to incorporate "different" instruments and sounds to make things interesting....hence Conga Drums...
@gaeilge101 -----Celtic music touches me in a way that few things do. Although 8 generations removed from Scotland, the hair on my neck rises when I hear traditional Celtic music. I don't understand the music in the way the people who live there do, but it has a powerful hold on me. I am grateful for Celtic Woman & the other Celtic musicians & singers & dancers.

OK You know your stuff. As a player( I play every tune she plays) and live perfomer for over 30 yrs, I am not totally convinced that these vids are live. I suspect that, if she is not playing to the track, then a studio track is added to produce theDVD. The CD sounds exactly the same as the videos. I remain unconvinced. As I said, you know your stuff, but we must agree to dissagree. As for the internal pick up, where do I find one?
@NFDinatra Have a look at Natalie McMaster, The Contradiction. This is very live. Recorded 2003. Start at 2.05. Then have a look at Zoe Conway playing the same tune. You know it's live
The violin is wired with an internal pickup. The transmitter is on behind her left shoulder. You can see this clearly on Dueling Violins in the Lord of the Dance show. Another poster remarked that he watched her fall during one her performances and the violin stopped- as she stopped playing because she fell. If she had been playing to a track, it would have been obvious.
The sync issue is a frequent issue with YouTube. Sometimes 1 or 2 frames lagging, sometimes several.
@Gizmologist09 I fit pickups to fiddles. I do not know of an internal wireless system. You seem to know about these things, so I would be grateful if you could tell me what type it is. If I was the sound engineer and my player fell, I would cut the track, wouldn't you? It would look silly if it played on. He would be watching her like a hawk. Things have come a long way since Top of the Pops.
@fiddle0351 Having mixed dozens of live and mixed media shows, I can tell you the FOH engineer (front of house) has his hands full even using a programmed mix desk with autofade. Someone falling while playing is not what you are watching for and even so, your reaction time will not prevent the detection of a track playing while the performer is not. On the LOD shows, her violin PU was internal to the body of the violin, evidently like a guitar pickup as opposed to a dynamic mic on the bridge.
@Gizmologist09 I've just watched Celtic Woman - You Raise Me Up and can clearly see a pickup stuck to the back of her fiddle and wired to the radio pack. Perhaps this is why you don't seem to see her take the fiddle down after the tune. Hmmmm!!!
@fiddle0351 Thank you ! Used to play simple system switched over in the early 60s due to Padddy Cartys music...still play a bit on a wooden Radcliff I have. In fairness I should say it is a good flute ...probably better than most of what you might hear on the trad circuit.
Lisnageeragh For a classically trained player to have such a great trad style is unusual. Her style is very Donegal. Lots of bowed triplets, not many rolls. A bit like Sean Maguire without the swing. I still think it's a backing track. But she is a graet player.
@fiddle0351 Yes, most classical players are quite out of their space in other types of music .with a good ear though and a bit of help they should be able to give a good account of themselves....Maguire though was something else ...not always approved of !!
-- Mairead is one of a group of talented beautiful young women who perform like no one I've ever seen. The orchestra with all of it's string & wind instrumente; & percussion set the pace for the unbelievable voices of these performers. Add to that the pixie-like charm of this firefly violin player, who seems to float & fly everywhere on stage, & the audience is left breathless. This is truly an unforgettable musical event that has something for everyone.
Mairead is a great fiddle player, and a sexy mover, but please don't think she's doing both on this video. The Contradiction is a great reel well mimed.
@fiddle0351 Interesting coment about mime ! The playing is good though...to a fairly competent classically trained player it would not present a lot of problems .
@fiddle0351 Actually you are wrong. Mairead DOES play with a live mic while she dances around. She is wearing a body pack transmitter and an In the Ear Monitor receiver as are they all.
@Gizmologist09 If you look at 54-56 you will see that the b to d notes don't fit with the video. Unless the music is out of sync with the video at that point, it tells me that she is playing to the track. She is bound to be wearing an In the Ear monitor and radio pack. I can't see the fiddle pick up or mike though. This may be hidden of course. Also look at Celtic Woman - A New Journey - Reels. I would need some persuading to believe that was live. In Duelling Violins where's the band?
@fiddle0351 You are assuming that music videos are filmed with one camera, there are probably a dozen. The music is constant, but at the end of the show video editers assemble the best shots from all cameras. Often they use shots of the musician not in sequence with the audio, a discontinuity - it can be a mistake(editers are not usually musicians), or in the case of a lot of Irish videos, it could be a gag. But, with all your negative comments about Mairead, I must assume you are a troll.
@Jonah6146 I would have thought a mature person like yourself would not resort to name calling. But,hey, sticks and stones. My point is this, the first bar of the b part of the reel is in sync. The notes are A to C# . The second bar, in the same shot, is not, the notes are B to D. The Cambridge Hornpipe( the last tune in A) in the New Journey -Reels vid also looks mimed. It's not a reel by the way. For what it is worth, I think she is great. If I am wrong, she is even greater than I thought.

OK You know your stuff. As a player( I play every tune she plays) and live perfomer for over 30 yrs, I am not totally convinced that these vids are live. I suspect that, if she is not playing to the track, then a studio track is added to produce theDVD. The CD sounds exactly the same as the videos. I remain unconvinced. As I said, you know your stuff, but we must agree to dissagree. As for the internal pick up, where do I find one?

@fiddle0351 I watched her in Montreal. She makes different ornaments in live shows.

@fiddle0351 oh just enjoy it. It is good music, good talent and it should not matter if it is from a cd or live. Enjoy the art.

@NFDinatra Have a look at Natalie McMaster, The Contradiction. This is very live. Recorded 2003. Start at 2.05. Then have a look at Zoe Conway playing the same tune. You know it's live

The violin is wired with an internal pickup. The transmitter is on behind her left shoulder. You can see this clearly on Dueling Violins in the Lord of the Dance show. Another poster remarked that he watched her fall during one her performances and the violin stopped- as she stopped playing because she fell. If she had been playing to a track, it would have been obvious.
The sync issue is a frequent issue with YouTube. Sometimes 1 or 2 frames lagging, sometimes several.

@Gizmologist09 I fit pickups to fiddles. I do not know of an internal wireless system. You seem to know about these things, so I would be grateful if you could tell me what type it is. If I was the sound engineer and my player fell, I would cut the track, wouldn't you? It would look silly if it played on. He would be watching her like a hawk. Things have come a long way since Top of the Pops.

@fiddle0351 Having mixed dozens of live and mixed media shows, I can tell you the FOH engineer (front of house) has his hands full even using a programmed mix desk with autofade. Someone falling while playing is not what you are watching for and even so, your reaction time will not prevent the detection of a track playing while the performer is not. On the LOD shows, her violin PU was internal to the body of the violin, evidently like a guitar pickup as opposed to a dynamic mic on the bridge.

@Gizmologist09 I've just watched Celtic Woman - You Raise Me Up and can clearly see a pickup stuck to the back of her fiddle and wired to the radio pack. Perhaps this is why you don't seem to see her take the fiddle down after the tune. Hmmmm!!!

Lisnageeragh Just had a look at your Flute playing. I have rarely heard a metal flute sound so convincing. Bravo
fiddle0351 1 year ago
@fiddle0351 Thank you ! Used to play simple system switched over in the early 60s due to Padddy Cartys music...still play a bit on a wooden Radcliff I have. In fairness I should say it is a good flute ...probably better than most of what you might hear on the trad circuit.

Lisnageeragh For a classically trained player to have such a great trad style is unusual. Her style is very Donegal. Lots of bowed triplets, not many rolls. A bit like Sean Maguire without the swing. I still think it's a backing track. But she is a graet player.
fiddle0351 1 year ago
@fiddle0351 Yes, most classical players are quite out of their space in other types of music .with a good ear though and a bit of help they should be able to give a good account of themselves....Maguire though was something else ...not always approved of !!

-- WTF? I thought Mairead was a MUTE?!
-- Mairead is one of a group of talented beautiful young women who perform like no one I've ever seen. The orchestra with all of it's string & wind instrumente; & percussion set the pace for the unbelievable voices of these performers. Add to that the pixie-like charm of this firefly violin player, who seems to float & fly everywhere on stage, & the audience is left breathless. This is truly an unforgettable musical event that has something for everyone.

Mairead is a great fiddle player, and a sexy mover, but please don't think she's doing both on this video. The Contradiction is a great reel well mimed.

@fiddle0351 Interesting coment about mime ! The playing is good though...to a fairly competent classically trained player it would not present a lot of problems .
Lisnageeragh 1 year ago
@fiddle0351 Actually you are wrong. Mairead DOES play with a live mic while she dances around. She is wearing a body pack transmitter and an In the Ear Monitor receiver as are they all.

@Gizmologist09 If you look at 54-56 you will see that the b to d notes don't fit with the video. Unless the music is out of sync with the video at that point, it tells me that she is playing to the track. She is bound to be wearing an In the Ear monitor and radio pack. I can't see the fiddle pick up or mike though. This may be hidden of course. Also look at Celtic Woman - A New Journey - Reels. I would need some persuading to believe that was live. In Duelling Violins where's the band?
fiddle0351 1 year ago
@fiddle0351 You are assuming that music videos are filmed with one camera, there are probably a dozen. The music is constant, but at the end of the show video editers assemble the best shots from all cameras. Often they use shots of the musician not in sequence with the audio, a discontinuity - it can be a mistake(editers are not usually musicians), or in the case of a lot of Irish videos, it could be a gag. But, with all your negative comments about Mairead, I must assume you are a troll.

@Jonah6146 I would have thought a mature person like yourself would not resort to name calling. But,hey, sticks and stones. My point is this, the first bar of the b part of the reel is in sync. The notes are A to C# . The second bar, in the same shot, is not, the notes are B to D. The Cambridge Hornpipe( the last tune in A) in the New Journey -Reels vid also looks mimed. It's not a reel by the way. For what it is worth, I think she is great. If I am wrong, she is even greater than I thought.

Mairead Nesbitt doesn't talk about age because she feels performers should not be defined by age.
You can see YouTube videos of her dated 1996 when she was with Lord of the Dance, so she cant be in her 20s.
Most people think she was born around 1975.
