How can she hold her bow that way!!!! It can't have been taught. Did she just begin 'choking up' on the bow because her arms were short? Wow. Admiration rating goes through the freaking roof!
@MegaBarbaranne....Haven't seem many traditional Irish or Bluegrass fiddlers????...The hold she uses gives her more control as she runs, and dances around....Many "fiddles" use similar holds...Also enables faster bow speed..
when i first saw a celtic woman video (carol of the bells) i thought she was faking it because of those black things on her back and because i thought to my self "how can someone so pretty be so talented with the fiddle" then i saw one of her interviews and saw her play the (contradiction) i never had that same thought again/ I LOVE CELTIC WOMAN
@MrJKM1997 The "black things" are a receiver for her in-ear monitors and the other is a transmitter for the pickup on her violin. All the performers have the same setup. The in-ear monitors make it easier to control the PA system audio the audience hears and each monitor has only the audio mix they need. For instance she can hear herself and the drummers. The drummers hear themselves and her along with a click track that works like a metronome.
It's Galicia, not Galiçia. Im a Celtic Galician myself, enjoying these talented women as usual, but please take a look at the title and write it properly.
@AlexBalonmano Hmmm... That's a valid point. Perhaps they simply want ot seem "fancy". In Madison, WI, US there are two shopping malls called East Towne and West Towne mall. Nobody spells it "towne" any more... That was just my best guess. By the by, it's great to click on somebody's profile and get rickrolled. : )

@AlexBalonmano It's similar to the French spelling of façade. Most of the European languages have letters like that, such as 'æ' in German, and 'å' in Norwegian. ; )
She has perfected a technique that no other artist, of her kind, has even remotely approached. She has the drive and energy of someone who is totally involved in the performance. What a fantastic lady!
Amazing... I look at the kids, and they are so happy for being there! In Brazil, little ones listen to funk, it's a shame. Hope I can move to Ireland someday...
Although they seldom get the credit they earn and DESERVE, please give props to the audio engineers. This type of show and recording takes a skill level that is sadly in short supply.
I'm from Galicia (Spain) and I must say it's just fantastic..though I may say it's Galicia and not Galiçia. We are Celtic, and not Catalonian so we don't have the letter ç in our alphabet. ;-)

i got to go see them live for the first time back in February. my boyfriend gave me the tickets on valentines day. it was amazing! i want to go see celtic woman again so bad!
@Chickidee09 Except for the occasional 'yip' and 'yelp' while playing she has only spoken three words on stage. Check out their Christmas show and "let it snow'...
@TimLugia Thanks, I'll give a listen to it. I haven't checked out her album numbers because if you can't SEE Mairead perform you lose half the enjoyement.
@William2020a, Mairead has indeed actually spoken on stage, especially on the last tour. She introduced "You Raise Me Up" and spoke for several minutes, but I know she prefers to let her violin "do the talking".
I just absolutely love Celtic Woman! I have 2 of their CDs: "Celtic Woman" and "Songs From The Heart" and this song is on the latter CD. Check them out!! Oh, "Songs From The Heart" also has "O America!" on it!! FABULOUS!!!!
After years of watching violinists who, when they perform, look as if they are constipated on stage it is WONDERFUL to find a performer who looks so happy to be playing. Mairead Nesbitt rules on the violin today and I hope her 'style' catches on with other performers...
It's been four years since I first saw them and I still have trouble sometimes believing what I'm seeing. I love the orchestra and the celtic sounding instruments. My wife, daughter, and mom grabbed us when we were on vacation near Yosemite and we were all glued to the TV the whole time. Eileen and I had to get tickets to see them when they came to Fresno, and the only regret is that I didn't get front row seats.
no ned to point out how beautiful she is, nor is it neccessity to point out that whilst doing all this in heels, she also manages to kep her smile, balance, beat, and also make this medly sound SOmuch more gourgeous than it had been before. we all adore you M'Lady so fae.
She looks like a pixie jumping across the stage. I wouldn't have been a bit surprised if she just disappeared with some sparkles, or started flying. She looked like she most definitely would have if she could have, just for the joy of it.
I play the violin, and I know how hard it would be to play that music. To be able to play it from memory, while dancing and smiling, would be such a wonderful gift!
She looks so happy when she's playing her violin, which clearly means she loves the music to death! You just can't be a great musician unless you love what you're playing.
That she can play like that while dancing around is incredibly awesome. Extreme talent. Just discovered her tonight. Was watching clips from Very Annie Mary on that lead me to this live performance. Her rendition of Shenandoah is so awesome. I was totally amazed and star struck. Going to check out everything she has been doing. Thanks for the post of this live performance.

SHE is magnificent. She is a magnificent performer. But I appreciate her for her magnificent skills and performance. I WANT TO MARRY A LADY LIKE HER!!! They are hard to find here in the USA, but maybe I'm just being silly. Ha ha.
the only song I like in SFTH. This new show had too few funny and upbeat songs. This, Nil Se'n La, The call, Finale. The end. Unlike A new Journey - full of joy and claps!!!
wow that was awesome... you know i don't think i've ever seen just stand still and play, i'm always amazed by how high she can jump in heels and keep playing. she is a wonder.
pffft - finally VEVO has released this video for my country. i have the entire concert from the torrents, but at home, and at work i won't download it. so - this is great.
hurrah for irish music, probably the best music in the world. :)
At the concert I went to, she was spinning around while playing this song for 15 seconds straight! I mean, its hard to spin around in heels and a dress how it is, but to play a complex violin song TOO??? This women is insane, and I admire her so much.
I love Mairead and the ladies of Celtic Woman (of course)...but I'm in love with their awesome percussionists Nicky & Ray! I'm a little biased when I say that, though, because I'm a percussionist. ;)
She should play this in Galiçia itself. The spanish would probably dance forever by hearing this.. :)
I love that little flirting moment with the gitarist at 2:27.. She isn't only a fine fiddle player, but the way she searchs contact with her fellow musicians is adorable was well.
Both Mairead's mother and grandmother were Celtic violinist, Mairead is third generation. You can see a video of her mother Kathleen playing on youtube at:
@vaidegaitas You don't know what you are talking about...Mairead plays every note to every piece of music she does. She doesn't need to lower herself to the level of most of today's "Pop" stars.....
The more I hear this song the more I want to hear it again and again and again....
I think it may just be physically impossible to hear this song, especially with the gorgeous Mairead Nesbitt playing it, and not break out in an ear to ear grin. Or, at the very least, just tap you foot in time to the beat. I guess that could be said about most Celtic music This is absolutely sublime. That's it! I'm going to the store and buying this video before I go crazy!
when my sister and i went to this concert my sister was a true skeptic until she seen her play this song she could not believe how great she was and never missed a step even after spinning around so much.
@ChicKa0311 Time to live one of many childhood dreams =). To learn to play the violin for sure made a rediscovery to a beautiful dream. Máiréad Nesbitt is one of many people in this world that inspires dreamers to live their imaginations =)!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
for non95ann .. galicia is one of most "deep celtics countries" its in the north of spain (spain its europe not mexico ..(thats for some americans ) and tihs is a typical music from there...you can see also " carlos nunez" its a famous celtic piper from there.... and its really amazing...=)
That's the mark of a true musician. Anyone with a thimbleful of talent can play the music. It's those who are incredibly skilled that make the instrument sing for them!!
This was one of my favorites. I hope I get a chance to go see them!!!
I like how the kid in the beginning is warming his hands up and getting excited for Mairead. So cute! Good to see that these ladies are appreciated by the younguns!
Favorited before I even finished the song. This is the most gorgeous playing from Mairead that I've ever seen, I could listen to it forever. It makes you so happy! :D
Well, she has also an experience for more then 20 years, and she is being taught by notable fiddlers and studied at high music schools as London's Royal Academy of Music. Don't mean to pull her down, just wanted to say she has studied very much to reach this, and I'm sure you can become as good ;) You can still be a fantastic player without moving around, right? Every musician has his own style, and Maíréad's style, is being dynamic around stage :)
This performance is amazing as usual, because it's Mairead doing what she does best, dancing around the stage, playing the fiddle flawlessly while still being able to spin around in a circle and not fall. However, I would have to say that I enjoy listening and watching Granuaile's Dance more. Does anybody else feel this way?
@mccuty01 for me it's kind of a 50/50 thing. i love Granuaile's dance, but i love this song too. Both of them make me want to dance!! :D I think Granuaile's dance is more of a flowing dance song, and i think this one is more of an exciting, fast, dance or race or jig song. I just love them both. ^_^
OMG!!! She is so AMAZINGLY talented!!! To be able to dance around AND play that violin like that is just incredible. And I just love the music at the end!
look that energie!!!

I'm learning how to play this song. I have fun when I listen to Celtic Woman.

The more I hear this song the more I want to hear it again and again and again....
I think it may just be physically impossible to hear this song, especially with the gorgeous Mairead Nesbitt playing it, and not break out in an ear to ear grin. Or, at the very least, just tap you foot in time to the beat. I guess that could be said about most Celtic music This is absolutely sublime. That's it! I'm going to the store and buying this video before I go crazy!

1:36 just happens to be my favorite part! watching Mairead play makes me want to learn how to play the violin!

@ChicKa0311 Time to live one of many childhood dreams =). To learn to play the violin for sure made a rediscovery to a beautiful dream. Máiréad Nesbitt is one of many people in this world that inspires dreamers to live their imaginations =)!

for non95ann .. galicia is one of most "deep celtics countries" its in the north of spain (spain its europe not mexico ..(thats for some americans ) and tihs is a typical music from there...you can see also " carlos nunez" its a famous celtic piper from there.... and its really amazing...=)

That's the mark of a true musician. Anyone with a thimbleful of talent can play the music. It's those who are incredibly skilled that make the instrument sing for them!!
This was one of my favorites. I hope I get a chance to go see them!!!

Here is a most accomplished violinist that also just happens to have some attributes of a figure skater. A most amazing talent.

soccergirl. I put 'The Coast of Galicia sheet music' on google and found 'musicnotes' but you have to pay $4.45 for it.

I like how the kid in the beginning is warming his hands up and getting excited for Mairead. So cute! Good to see that these ladies are appreciated by the younguns!
mccuty01 2 years ago 11
Favorited before I even finished the song. This is the most gorgeous playing from Mairead that I've ever seen, I could listen to it forever. It makes you so happy! :D
AmethystAnna 2 years ago 7
i love the way she's so enthusiastic about playing. it makes me feel bad when i feel so bored in orchestra class. =\
mairead can dance and play at the same time without looking at notes. i even have trouble keeping the instrument up. oh well.
i love mairead!

Well, she has also an experience for more then 20 years, and she is being taught by notable fiddlers and studied at high music schools as London's Royal Academy of Music. Don't mean to pull her down, just wanted to say she has studied very much to reach this, and I'm sure you can become as good ;) You can still be a fantastic player without moving around, right? Every musician has his own style, and Maíréad's style, is being dynamic around stage :)

does she actually play it real, or do we hear a disc that she is pretending to play?
lol, like karaoke with the violin.

@Thenahen its kinda hard to play karaoke with a violin...

This performance is amazing as usual, because it's Mairead doing what she does best, dancing around the stage, playing the fiddle flawlessly while still being able to spin around in a circle and not fall. However, I would have to say that I enjoy listening and watching Granuaile's Dance more. Does anybody else feel this way?
mccuty01 2 years ago 4
@mccuty01 for me it's kind of a 50/50 thing. i love Granuaile's dance, but i love this song too. Both of them make me want to dance!! :D I think Granuaile's dance is more of a flowing dance song, and i think this one is more of an exciting, fast, dance or race or jig song. I just love them both. ^_^

I can just see her flitting around a meadow, with her fiddle, that expression of total joy on her face...and a beautiful set of wings.

But it mostly just shows that you have good taste in music. I've loved them since I heard about them three years ago when I was 15.

Amazing that they could take into consideration the fact the Galicia is part of the 'celtic kingdom'...

RiqueCorr 2 years ago 3
Considering that they live there (in the "celtic kingdom" I mean), I don't think that would be too difficult.

Yeah, maybe. But It's just that I never see 'non-galician' people playing galician music...
