Yes, Ashley Macisaac plays "backwards." I've heard there are parts of the world where students are taught to hold the violin this way (certainly not the US, where I'm from). I don't know if he holds it this way because this is how he learned, or if it's to show off. I know that he is capable of playing it the "normal" way because I've seen him switch back and forth mid-performance.
Sorry if this is after the fact or whatever! You probably know this now I just saw your comment after watching the vid
He holds the violin Irish/celtic style not classical style. It stems (like many fiddling styles) from tradition where common people just picked up the instruments and played them however they wanted. Anyway it's a more traditional, respected (and more relaxed) way to hold the violin here (from Ireland)
J'adore ce morceau :)
merci!

Is the violinist holding the violin up on his/her right shoulder??? I'm a violinist myself, and I've never seen it played like that.
