Glad to hear your 9-month-old loves Hayley, and that your daughter is a big Natalie fan. Isn't she amazing? I haven't posted any other videos from the night at Glencoe Mills or the Natalie & Friends concert that I produced for PBS during Celtic Colours at Cape Breton that year, but you'll find several excerpts from that concert posted on YouTube by others, with Hayley and Bela included.

I stand corrected. Hayley was a part of Celtic Women when we filmed in Cape Breton, but no longer.

Filmed during Celtic Colors, Cape Breton in 2006. Glencoe Mills is where Natalie played as a teenager. That evening she was joined by banjo superstar Bela Fleck and the amazing Hayley Westenra (from Celtic Women). It's a traditional Cape Breton line-dance with Natalie's friends all around. I filmed this as part of a longer project (Natalie MacMaster, Bringing it Home) but this unique musical event was never part of the final film. I hope Natalie, Hayley & Bela's fans enjoy this unique clip.

@EatonCreative Just to point out, Hayley certainly was a part of Celtic Woman back then, and she did a great job. But it was a short period, she's always been mostly a solo artist, as she is currently. I am saying this only because labeling her as "from Celtic Woman" could be misleading and lead to some disappointments, as she is not a part of the group anymore.

@mep1990 I stand corrected. Hayley was part of Celtic Women when we filmed in Cape Breton, but not since.

This is on the "Bringing it Home" DVD. I watch this clip quite a lot.

I don't suppose you have any other videos from this night at Glencoe Hall, do you?

I played this video for my oldest daughter who is a big Natalie fan (and I'm a huge Bela fan) while holding one of my 9 month old twin daughters...the 9 month old put out her arms as if to say "stand back" and went into a trance when Hayley started to sing. We've played it a number of times since. She could be having the worst fit ever - play this video when Hayley starts in and it's silence and she stares!

Just to clarify...it's square dancing, not line dancing.

Great, great video btw!!!

What a wonderful night!  But, just about any night at Glencoe Mills is a wonderful night. Cape Breton square dances are the best!
