And the late great Sean McGuire was adjudicating. My two favourite fiddle players on the same film wow!

Loveee her bowing hand! Lol =]

Yea, Im sure theres some flashy person that would win it now. But do you think they could win it 9 times. She won it one year on tenor banjo. Eileen is the most decorated fiddler of all time. That is sweet. I hope you guys who havent seen her in concert, get to see her. And for you guys that have, you know what I mean.

I really don't think this could win now. Not flashy enough.
The players at the "world competition" are so much more technical now.
She played sweetly though.

OMG she was so young there. Amazing!

I hung out with her in Dublin Ohio this year....never met a nicer, sweeter person. I dont even need to mention her performance.....whew.

I wouldn't call her style pretentious...just overly flash and not my fav...you still can't say that she isn't a good player though. And tomcoen the best would be Frankie Gavin - end of discussion!
pretentious? what's this She just the best end of story

Eileen was brilliant then.... and she's brilliant now. I have seen her perform many times, along with many other wonderful Irish musicians. Her spirit and love of music is the furthest thing from pretense.
