String Sisters - Shetland Fiddle Diva

They had a lot of fun doing this medley. Shetland Fiddle Diva/Kinyon's Jig/Kinyon's Reel/Lad O'Beirne's

The lighting effects are a bit much during this number.

The music is great but the light design is rather horrid. I don't know how the audience was even able to see them.

It's not quite as bad in high quality. Still looks like they're swimming in egg yolk, though ;)

the lighting is fine. the yellow is pretty cool actually. they editors just used WAAAAY too many cuts between performers waaaaay too quickly.

@rulebook

In norwegian we say "gult er kult" "yellow is cool" ;D

I'm wondering if the bass player also plays electric bass either fretted or fretless.

I'd be inclined to try putting the lights on the floor behind them pointing up at the wall

I found a "Hardanger Fiddle" on Ebay for a very high price. I would love to try one just to see what I can get out of it. Wish I could find one in the state of New Hampshire.

I love this type of music, it makes me want to play and learn this stuff all the more.

Captivating! (I'm suppose to be cleaning & after watching some Leahy & Natalie MacMaster I was brought to the String Sisters! )

Fills me with joy. Love the backing musicians and uber tight arrangement too. I had to get up and start jigging. Trouble is once I'd started I couldn't stop.

YAY FOR SHETLAND! :)
