She is what she is, and that is it. A genuine Celtic goddess.

Did you notice how the guys smile back at her when she flashes that beautiful smile of hers to them ? How can they resist ?! She is one pretty lady and she has a FANTASTIC TALENT !!!! I love the way she FEELS her music !!!!

I LOVE THE WAY THIS WOMAN PLAYS. point blank, nothing more to say.

i think Maireads' performances will be viewed & enjoyed for centuries, like mozart & bach are now. she is exquisite. i can't wait till she plays in my town next year.

Mairead is my favorite member of Celtic Woman simply because she is able to multitask (play and dance) so effortlessly. Celtic Woman is at its best when she's doing her things and the other members are singing together.

Ms. Nesbitt is an amazing and delightful talent.

fiddle and bodhran heaven! 2 gorgeous Celtic men and a beautiful talented fae lass-delightful!

I adore the playful dynamic between the three of them when they play together.

Maired Nesbitt plays so incredible! This is one of my fave preformances! It looks so easy for her! I love it!

She is AMAZING, this is one of the best performances I ever heard, so clear, so beautiful, so awesome, I would love to see this live!

She is more than perfect...She is extra perfect together with her friends there...

She always has the prettiest dresses. Also, I admire her talent greatly

I listen to this EVERY DAY it never gets old,ever! i love mairead nesbitt Chloe too]

Great performance ...well within her capability ...a headline for us all!

Never have I ever heard a better violinist!

Mairead is talented and beautiful.

Absolutely amazing Mairead is amazing, love the fiddle and the Bohrons

She is perfect!!!!!

Are you serious?! On top of having an amazing body and great looks, you can also play the violin, and do it spining around....with that dress....and in high hills....??? .It's ridiculous how gifted you are!!! I like you a lot!

What a great fiddling skill!!! And the percussion's really great... I love the beginning very much... lol PERFECT!!!

Great performance ...well within her capability ...a headline for us all! Lovely tone and great intonation.

Shes purely amazing

Dang she is soooooo good. Looking forward to seeing them in concert at Long Beach... I actualy have tickets... Whoot.

What amazes me most about this SUPER talented lady is how well she can play different types of music for the violin. If you get a chance, go to the Celtic Woman website and watch one of her inteviews where she plays Bach and other pieces. Hmmm, I wonder what the audience would think if she was playing Bach and started to dance around like she does here??!! A TRUE JOY TO BEHOLD !!!!

HOW ON EARTH DOES SHE PLAY THAT FAST!!!

Liebe Mairead Sie sind wunderbar, sie sind fantastisch, in Ihre Haende ist die Violine ein Spielzeug geworden und die CELTIC MUSIK klingt noch schoooner und wunderbarer. THANK YOU I love you, Ich liebe Dich

I agree totally, it takes huge amounts of work and loads of head aches in the process but the reward is fantastic and pays you back may times over. I descovered this learning the piano.

This is one of my favorite reels. It's freaking HARD, but I love it.

wow shes so beautiful love her hair

oh my , what a beautiful happy melody :D!

She's one of the muses that greek mythology talks about. And for me she's the unique muse of the dance and music, she is so beautiful and so talented that she must be a goddess

i could never play violin....not with fingers that move THAT fast! She's amazing!

So So So beautiful to listening to and I love it.

You can just see how how much she enjoys it too

great music i love it

perfect!! *-* i don't have words!!

IT is such a pleasure to watch & listen to mairead play,

she makes it look so easy!!

Brilliant. Absolutely Brilliant. =-)

wow it's just simply wow!!!!!!!!!!!

Lisnageeragh Just had a look at your Flute playing. I have rarely heard a metal flute sound so convincing. Bravo

The Lord, is enjoying this

mairead is amazing

i just love that girl :)

Love the move!

PERFECT!!!

look, I am 19, and have been through 2 years of college. I have been playing since i was in the 4th grade. When you put your mind to anything, you can get where you want to go. Dont let anyone try and bring you down. If your heart says that you want to be this good, pick up a violin...pick up some lessons...and practice every day and night. I play many instruments, but started on the violin...

LOVE Mairead! (dammit Google Chrome! Don't underline her name as though it's an error! *clicks "add to dictionary"*

amazing.

i love her ,it is very great,very beautiful i am from algerie and i ooooooooooolove that

@gaeilge101 Thank you. The first time I heard "The Contradiction" I immediately thought of bluegrass music. That is SO good!!

i could watch this 1000 times

She looks like me when I play my guitar/sing - Like she's having the time of her life doing what she loves. :D I love this! :D

i love this

I always love when they pair Mairead's fiddle with bodhrans, perfect combination of sound. I do hope they keep Ray and don't change the percussion section with all the cast changes Celtic Woman has been making. It wouldn't be the same without him.

She is a godess

Oh damn.... What a Beautiful Women !!!! She's the Mother of my Kids !!! :-)

The whole song is called The Ashoken Farewell/The Contradiction. The first bit is very beautiful

i love this womman

shes so mysterious and beautiful. i wish i could be more like her...

BELLISSIMOOOOOO!!!!

awesome!

EPIIIICCC~~~!!!

she is so beutyfull es muy hermosa

woooooow... beautufulllll

woo-hoo! i'm the first person to leave a comment! i love mairead, she'a amazing!!!

and on the eighth day He created celtic music and violins..... and it was very good.

No, bare-bone performance does not bother me:)) because she does it so well!!!Very musical, entertaining, and full-hearted. The girls are really pretty-and although I am a girl ,I enjoy watching their pretty hair, close, and lovely performance...:)

@puntuto82 Well, I for one, am *very* sure that she was playing live. I have heard her do this from close-range (2nd row) and it was pretty clear that she was playing as she moved rapidly across the stage. I even could see that she was breaking some of the hairs on her bow as she played. This performance is pretty tame compared to one like "Granuaile's Dance", or "Coast of Galicia", where she really goes all-out. She is as real as they come.

In fact, I would LOVE to play as bare-noned as she does :)))) Only that much! :)))))) I love this group!

this is one of he best fongs she dos

Please. I would adore if you put up a video of your playing. This sounds extremely enjoyable to me.

lol i love watching her play, she looks like she has so mch energy lol

@vintagedirtbiker Yea, This girl is an absolute phenomenon. I'm pretty sure she's an angel who was sent to make people happy with her music. The angel of happy music :-) That's it. What a lovely little spirit!

Also, for a little bit of Mairead's emotion, if you'r curious, listen to her rendition of "My Lagan Love"

Fantictic

It makes you get up and dance to Ireland's best - just like Reels or Granuaile's Dance

I am pretty sure they are two separate songs. I think this piece is called the Contradiction because of the trade off between the two bodhran players. Its almost like they are two suitors trying to court Mairead, and she goes back and forth between the two.

inredible!

@fiddle0351 Thank you ! Used to play simple system switched over in the early 60s due to Padddy Cartys music...still play a bit on a wooden Radcliff I have. In fairness I should say it is a good flute ...probably better than most of what you might hear on the trad circuit.

Such eyes...

I think The Ashoken Farewell is in another video. My violin teacher used to play it, I always thought it was an absolutely beautiful song.

they're called bodhrans. They are traditional Irish instruments, and the most epic ever.

The first part of her performance is called "The Ashoken Farewell" This part is called "The Contradiction" If you notice the title of this video, it says The Contradiction. Not Ashoken Farewell/The Contradiction. Perhaps the person posting the video just liked this part. You can find videos with the first part by searching for it by name! Hope that helps

I've got a load of Scottish blood . .. does that count? XD No, but really, I love her playing so much. It makes me feel right at home.
