I'm a violinist and I know that Máiréad is playing. Just watch her as she is dancing around. Her form is so perfect that she wouldn't need to be acting. She never lets her bow waiver and even though she's moving, her hold is relaxed and set. And gaelige101 is right. They wouldn't hire her to just look good.

This group was always my favorite of all the Celtic women.

What a delightful pleasure to see The ensemble altogether. LISA, ORLA, CHLOE, HALLEY, MEÁV, MAIREAD ON VIOLIN AND THE DUDE WITH FOUR ARMS ON DRUMS. FANTASTIC!

Classic Celtic Woman at its best, you just can't beat the 5 (or in this case, 6) original members.

"A New Journey" was so epic. I wish the new generation all the best, but I think this performance is always going to be It for me.

I just love the energy when Mairead comes flying out like a sprinter out of the blocks! It's absolutely amazing how she can run and bounce like than and not miss a note! And for anyone who thinks she's faking it go see them live! You'll see she is not! I can't wait to see them again!

Their percussion guys are top notch too! The whole group is just phenomenal...

This little woman with her violin is so full of positive energy !! she's incredible !! jumping and playing and dancing everywhere...

Ray Fean has a drummer's dream gig. He's not only getting well paid to do something he loves, but he does it in the company of a bunch of gorgeous women who sing like angels (and a violinist who simply boggles the mind).

These women sing like angels absolutely wonderful

Hayley Westenra is incredible and beautiful!

I love how you can tell Chloe is dying to just burst out and start dancing... :D

these woman are sirens Angels sent by God to sooth the rage in mens hearts

Are some of you people kidding me?!!!...Did we just listen to the same music? And so i guess what you're saying O Callaghan is that beautiful, elegant, lovely are not Celtic or Irish. If i were you and i'm glad i'm not i would think of the implications of my statements before i start insulting someone else and it really turns and reflects back on you! These women are lovely, beautiful, elegant. Their music is stellar and 2nd to none...light years ahead, above, and beyond. Oh and here's a poke in the eye to you haters out there, look at the numbers of views in the millions.

I love Lisa, Chloe and Mairead. They are my favorite, but I love them all. They all are amazing singers, and Mairead just throws her spirit into her violin. And Chloe can deffinately hit the notes I could never hit. Her voice is amazing and sweet. :D Mairead is dressed like a blossom. Very beautiful.

I'm 3rd generation American, I still speak with a "Gallic" accent because I heard my grandmother speak it when I was small...I don't know if this "authentic in representation of the Celtic culture but for those of us who wish we were there instead of here it is beautiful

I've seen enough of their performances and shows to convince me that they're not fake. they're loved by millions of fans around the world who would swear they're the real deal. This group is a culmination of years of singing, performing, practicing and hard work by all of them. Mairead sometimes actually plays her violin during a live interview. it sounds exactly the same as performing. there's no way you can fake that.

This is far and by the best team of Celtic Woman over the years. Strongest singers.

With pleasure! "Mo Ghile Mear" (My Gallant Darling) is an old Irish love song written in the Irish language by Sean Clarach Mac Domhnaill in the 18th century!!

I think that this performance is really the highlight of it all...the original members plus hayley is in it which just makes it even more stunning and the piece is just absolutely brilliant...been a fan since the beginning will always be a fan forever

I have had the chance to see these amazing ladies not just once, but three times.

I love how Mairead just comes running out smiling and prancing. :D

i remember being there and it was so much fun being there and i loved hayley, she was amazing as well as everyone else

Mairead mentioned in an interview that classical violin and Irish fiddle have different rules, despite using the same instrument. Fiddle, for example, rarely uses vibrato. Mairead had to learn to perform perfectly in both modes before she could start creatively breaking the rules and making her own synthesis. And in the middle of all that, she learned to dance. With Chloe "taking a break", Mairead is the last of the original five. If they lose her, CW is over.

Absolutely love this song and I have it on DVD. To me the original Celtic Woman group was the best

They make hitting those high notes look so easy,,,,such beautiful women and outstanding singers/performers,,,,,,BRAVVVVVO !!!!

This was the group at it's best imo. Although I expect great things from the Eabha

This is the best performance cuz Hayley and Chloe are so adorable in this video

I LOVE THIS BAND!

The first time I heard this song, I loved it. I had never heard any other version, so Celtic Woman deserves credit for exposing it to the world. I have heard the more "traditional" versions since then, and this one still is my favorite, even if it might be a shade different than others. I dearly wanted to hear it live, and when they finally did it at a concert I attended, it totally blew me out of my seat.

Wow, the choir is awesome. :)

I have always been a fan of Celtic Woman...so glad to find there here when I can watch and listen and enjoy at any time!

Still can’t stop listening to them, so damn beautiful, and they sing like angels 😜

They are truly blessed with angelic voices and they share with us their blessing!... I can't help it, but the lady with the violin comes in just like a gazelle! Beautiful!

I love to see these girls perform. They sing so pretty and they dont show off their bodies to sell their music. These ladies are an inspiration

Hayley Westenra stands out in this song. Like her voice alot

From around 1:04 - 1:12 is when I lost my heart to Chloe Agnew and she hasn't given it back since.

Brilliant ladies

Such angelic voices from such beautiful ladies. It’s so passionate yet soothing. Epic yet emotional. Large yet intimate. They’re perfect!

this has brought my faith back in music

My mom gives me weird looks when I play Celtic Woman and she always asks me if I have leprechauns or fairies in the basement. -_- I don't understand how she can't like this music. IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

I wished Orla , Meav and Hayley didn't leave the group... They're wonderful singers :)

Meav is always awesome. Orla is another favorite. The drummers are rockawesome. Love all them. Chloe Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Meav, Orla, and Mairead always does rockawesome violin.

das ist das absolut beste was ich gehört habe

no matter how angry or upset i seem to be, i cant help but put on a big ass grin when i hear this song... Mairead is a pixie that spreads good feelings to all

日本にもこんな素晴らしいコーラスグループが欲しいですね。 それにしても、みんないい歌声です。

My favorite group of Celtic women - just cannot BEAT the older ones - sorry new Celtic women not the same!!

i love the drum solo in the middle! absolutely breathtaking!

2022 and this still gives me all sorts of positive vibes and positive emotions.

"Know that love will shine through darkness, one bright star to light the way."

I love how Hayley looks in this video ^^ The gold dress looks stunning with her hair and complexion

There have been a number of versions of this done by Celtic women this is by far my favorite

Can you feel the river run? Waves are dancing to the sun Take the tide and face the sea And find a way to follow me Leave the field and leave the fire And find the flame of your desire Set your heart on this far shore And sing your dream to me once more [Chorus:] 'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear 'Sé mo Shéasar, gile mear Suan gan séan ní bhfuair mé féin Ó chuaigh i gcéin mo ghile mear (He is my hero, my dashing darling He is my Caesar, dashing darling Rest or pleasure I did not get Since he went far away, my darling) Now the time has come to leave Keep the flame and still believe Know that love will shine through darkness One bright star to light the wave [Chorus] Amhrán na farraige Ór ar na seolta Amhrán na farraige Ag seoladh na bhfonnta... (Song of the sea Gold on the sails Song of the sea Sending the melodies...) Lift your voice and raise the sail Know that love will never fail Know that I will sing to you Each night as I dream of you [Chorus] Ag seinm na farraige Ag seinm na farraige (Playing the sea Playing the sea) Seinn... Play... [Chorus] Gile mear, the wind and sun The sleep is over, dream is done To the west where fire sets To the gile mear, the day begun [Chorus 2x] Ó chuaigh i gcéin mo ghile mear (Since he went far away, my darling) Amhrán na farraige Ór ar na seolta Ag seoladh na bhfonnta (Song of the sea Gold on the sails Sending the melodies)

Thank you soooo very much for info, I will get that video as soon as I can. I would love for Maev to join CW permanently, I hope she makes up her mind and stays with this magnificent group, that would be my dream come true.

Beautifil and talented. I send the best whises from Argentina

WOW ABSOLOUTLY FABULOUS!!

i love how lisa does the sharp pitch 2:13-18

When Mairead came running in I think I fell in love.

I love Lisa and Hayley so much...

Celtic woman was on a high with this concert and having Hayley Westenra there was fabulous. I bought the DVD recently it's great watching it and the sound through the stereo system really does it for me.

They are brilliant , why don't we see them on TV , come on BBC get them on TV

the little blonde woman with the fiddle is like a little pixie!

Chloë has ALWAYS been beautiful. Full stop. Anything more is extraneous noise. Celtic Women forever, in whatever form they may be.

One Word!! AWESOME!!!!

chloe's voice is so beautiful

chloe is a stunning lady voice of an Angil , so do all the other girl but chloe's just the best

Just the best ! Marvellous Celtic women !

SOOOO AWESOME! Goooooo Celtic Women~

Mairead wanted to join in the fun :D

[Chorus:] 'Sé mo laoch mo ghile mear 'Sé mo Shéasar, gile mear Suan gan séan ní bhfuair mé féin Ó chuaigh i gcéin mo ghile mear (He is my hero, my dashing darling He is my Caesar, dashing darling Rest or pleasure I did not get Since he went far away, my darling)

O my god that was .... AWSOMMMEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same this is my favorite group

Mairead is a freaking Goddess! She can run while playing violin. Heck, she can probably fly while playing it.

I like how they all look like they're standing at attention when they turn

this is my favorite Celtic Woman song!!!!!! 80 people are crazy!!!!!

I love this music and I love these ladies..everything is so good,I was given the DVD by a friend who was going to throw it away..Absolutely LOVE it..

A still trying to figure out how Mairead can come bounding in like that and not throw a note.

3:10 She looks like some kind of dancing fairy :3

Chloe Agnew has always been my favorite. Her and Orla Fallon. They both have the most beautiful voices! :)

Get the DVD in Blue Ray, you won't be sorry. Best ever Celtic Woman DVD ever. Crank it during the drum solo's.

this is actually just fucking incredible.

They have not been the same

I love Celtic Woman and this is by far their best ensemble.

This version is the best Mo Ghile Mear

OMG how the hel....... can she run so fast in those shoes :-)

Some of you people are really amazing.Does it make you feel good or help you sleep at night to berate these women?I don't care if its real Irish or Celtic it sounds great and that's all I need.

I always love listening to this song with my family

the lady in the blue dress is far feching gorgous , and what a heavenly voice .

"He's my champion my Gallant Darling, he's my Caesar, a Gallant Darling, I've found neither rest nor fortune since my Gallant Darling went far away." Is the translation of the chorus

And at 4:55 out flys the barefooted pixie!

thank you for making this world as beautiful as you are, Celt Woman.

@finch11 I TOTALLY agree with you. She is AMAZING and she is blessed with AMAZING talent. I am so happy to have been introduced to Celtic Woman.

I think I'd rather Chloe stay the size that she is. If she were smaller, how could she contain such a big, sweet voice? It might... make her explode or something. Maybe her heart is so sweet, her skin can't take it, so it expands to a safe distance.

93 dislikes are from drummers everywhere who were jealous of 2:36 - 3:09

I am astounded by this!

their voices are so magical! like you're in a beautiful place full of fairies...

And...Mairead comes flying in! No, I don't think she walked, she flew.

it's so sad that we live in a world where people truly believe that Miley Cyrus is talented. When we have such genius, talent, and art all over the world. Very sad! These girls are real

you gotta love tht violin! and the ladies! I love u celtic women!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its already mid 2023, and I'm still listening to this. Im a big fan of this group.
