    She smiles like the sun.
    She dances like a butterfly.
    She fiddles like no other.
    And all this in high heels.

    Mairead Nesbitt is god's gift to us humans... She isn't a human. She is an angel! Playing and dancing barefoot and still sounds like... like... No words for it. Its more than amazing!... And she is beautifully too!

    I remember seeing them live in concert last June and this song in particular absolutely amazed me. I couldn't play viola decently while sitting down, yet here was Mairead dancing and leaping around the stage in high heels, not missing a not or a beat, in a song which is incredibly complex. She leaves me speechless. She is gorgeous and her musical talents are absolutely incredible. The best thing is you can tell she enjoys by the look on her face.

    The first time I saw a video of her I thought to myself, "Who is this lovely sprite and how does she play and dance so beautiful without falling or getting he hair caught in her violin."
    I have immense respect for her.

    I have played the viola for 4 years, and one of my life goals is to one day jump and dance while playing as gracefully as she can.

      For anyone reading this reply, no matter how many years later -- core strength, fine motor muscle control practice & stamina are your friends if you want to dance like this. You can do it!

    Oh my god!
    Thats the most stunning performance I've ever seen of a soloviolinist.
    She's simply beautiful, and so talented on the violin.
    I hope that some day (soon) Celtic Women will perform in Denmark, so that I can see them live.
    Why is it only posible to give 5 stars.
    She deserves a zillion

    What amazes me, not just about this song but Celtic Woman in general, is that David Downes brought them together in 2004 for a one night celebration of Celtic music. Long night. And may this night continue for a long time to come.

  • @ChiaraMarilera
    @ChiaraMarilera 9 лет назад +23

    One of the rare times when bad picture quality is actually nice - it makes her dress glow.
    Oh, Máiréad. How do you do that?
    She is amazing, really, amazing.
    And no, no playback. It's her playing live at the same time while dancing, running and jumping.
    This is also an original song, co-written by Máiréad and David. Two great talents, writing one song! It's fantastic. Granuaile was a pirate queen.

    • @ChiaraMarilera
      @ChiaraMarilera 9 лет назад +3

      It's amazing, isn't it? Also, at time she switches hands. She can play ambidextrously.

    • @ChiaraMarilera
      @ChiaraMarilera 9 лет назад +1

      I don't think so, no. I'm more concerned about the fact she doesn't age. All the others do - beautifully. But Máiréad always looks the same. Okay, she's aged a bit in the last few years, but most of the time she looks the same. However, it's not that she looks cnstantly young. In very early videos she already looked a bit older. I mean... in the 90s, she was most likely in her twenties and now she's most likely in her early forties. But she always looked like she did in the 00s, in her thirties.

      +MrReed314 I'm afraid that Mairead would "school" her in the art of playing the violin to perfection while dancing. I heard Lindsey live a couple of months ago, and while she is good, she isn't up to Mairead's level. Lindsey just made a few to many annoying mistakes (mostly a few glaring flat notes) in the live performance I attended, mistakes I have never heard Mairead make in the nine times I have heard her live.
