WOW----you think their arms would get tired after a while !! What a FANTASTIC talent these ladies have !!!! I love to watch Mairead dance around on some of her numbers. Such grace and ability !!!!

AMEN!!! I actually saw this tape a looong time ago, and I had never realized who I was watching. After going to a Celtic Woman concert a couple days ago, however, I was finally in awe. She is AMAZING!

Mairead is awesome!! I never get sick of watching this - it's absolutely fantastic. Both girls have real talent

i would be afraid my hair would get tangled in the strings! i love it! this is one of my favorites. :D

i LOVE this violin duel. it's the greatest thing i've ever seen in my life. =D

Exactly! I have been to several Celtic Woman concerts where I sat in the front row of the orchestra pit. I was close enough to hear the sound of the fiddle before it went into the mic, and I can absolutely tell you it's real.

Mairead nesbitt you are incredibly talented really enjoy and appreciate your style you should be proud best wishes to you and everyone at celtic woman you guys rock thanks !

Today i'm gonna see it live :D, i'm goeing to see "Lord of The Dance". Finally gonna see it live after watching the dvd more then a hundred times. WOOT.

This is amazing music and dancing too, how on earth do they make just two violins sound like an entire orchestra is beyond me. They are beautiful and very sexy as well.

This was done in 1999 (which means she would have been about 24 then). Today, she still has a lot of energy and beauty - the two things she says she strives to be. I'm a big fan.

loved this show. Both girls played HARD at the one I went to. broken bow hairs were flying! It was glorious.

one of the best music ever... absolutly fantastic

Mairead and Cora are both nothing short of fantastic!

oh snaps....i used to watch that movie all the time when i was younger...didn't know who she was till now, lol

About 10 years a go I had the soundtrack to Lord of the dance on cassette tape (taped from the TV) and I ruined it by rewinding this part too often... I remember thinking how awesome it would be if I could just hit a button a listen to it again :) God I love this!!

Both are very beautiful women, but what great talent! Their ability transcends raw beauty. How many feet must shuffle when they hear this tune!

I was there and didnt even know Mairead at the time. Best show i ever seen.

Wow ! they r beautiful and they know how to play indeed. 5 stars is not enough !

Absolutely fantastic, bravo ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mairead and Cora are a heluva combination - wonderful!!

Captivating..just pure excellence..thank you ladies for such wonderful talent.

love them, especially Mairead!

All played from memory---WOW !!!!

Mairead...smokin' hot in leather! She has to be the best fiddle player I've heard yet!

Mairead is really beautiful to watch and listen to, a very accomplished musician.

I've seen that one. It's one of the videos I revisit about once a week (would be more often, but there's *so* much good stuff out there). They're still tethered by mic cables. Cora is keeping up with Mairead on the fiddle, but I still haven't seen her dance like Mairead does in the Celtic Woman concerts. I really hope she's progressed; she would then be available if the Celtic Woman Curse finally strikes Mairead, who is the last original member left.

Throughout this whole thing I was just holding my breath, afraid that one of them would make a mistake... But they never did.

The second reel they play is the congress reel! Absolutely fantastic!!

Mairead is beautiful and so awesome!

Yes offcourse it did, now after seeing the dvd a hundred times i've seen it live, even if they weren't the performers of the "original" team it was what I expected it to be and better. When they return i'll try and go again :D.

OMG! That is simply WONDERFUL!!!!! ...... They two both together?! Amazing!!

She was most known for Lord of the Dance prior to her work in Celtic Woman. She's just awesome like that.

They friggin ROCK!!

OMG Mairead and leather? Now that's a combo you don't see everyday!

i have all good feed back for them i love nesbitt.... allthough i love her much more in celtic woman, still this is amazing wanna see them live

Well her outfits have gotten better over time... But that doesn't matter. She's AWESOME!!

talented and wildly beautiful..wow

Yep that's what the song is called indeed. Good one, still love it!

Awesome!! All I can say. Just the BEST!!

OMG! My favorite part of this whole show!!!

that's the kind of music that make us smile everytime and everywhere

Thanks Trip for those words :) These girls are surely amazing (hats of to them!) I have watched this video like more than 20 times & still get hooked to it frequently. Today I saw Michael Flatley`s biography on the Discovery Channel (Europe's Riches Men) He used to work in the construction field & never gave up on his Dream & thts why he is worth millions & millions of Euros :D:D

Damn they're so good.! Fantastic!!

So habe Ich Dich kennengelernt - Du warst großartig

i have seen Máiréad Nesbitt live - and well, NO Fake. Just a talented Artist.

agreed! you're so lucky! ive always wanted to go to a Celtic Woman concert!

Sometimes, not often enough, being Irish rocks. This is one of those times. Micheál Higgins

I believe the answer to +Steve Phillips' wonderment is that the violins are electric, rather than regualr, and the amps used allow for the extra sound.

both of those ladies can play a mean fiddle :-)mairead nesbitt rocks!

skládám poklony!!!!!!!!!! fantasticke!!!

This is something very fantastic!!!!!!!

Love to hear Mairead play

Oh... if only I could play like that! Amazing!

amazing! at the end i think i saw smoke coming off that fiddle lol those two were on fire!

I can't wait to see the Celtic Women at Hershey PA :)) I REALLY CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful!!!

Rocken that fiddle!! love it.

are you kidding me?! ... incredible.

This part always makes me remember when I was a little kid then I used to love this so much that I just watched it over and over again because I thought it was amazing. That sentence was supposed to make sense and I hope it did :)

Truly amazing!

Jedna kobieta piękniejsza od pierwszej... i fajnie grają... a kto nie kuma to niech słucha. :)

I could've sworn I saw smoke from their playing!! :D BEAUTIFUL!

2:24 - starts my favorite part. Incredible...just amazing...breathtaking

@UsagiVeg I used to listen to this song for years, had no idea it was these two beautiful women! love it

Look at her go! Go Mairead!

Her green fiddle's awesome!

I'm really glad Mairead joined up with Celtic Woman. Lord of the Dance was holding her back. Have you seen her perform with Celtic Woman? She dances- all over the stage. When she plays here, she just stomps awkwardly, because she's playing with someone else.

Wow, they make me tired. LOL! I've always loved this!

very beautiful !!!!!!!

Fantastic stuff, thanks so much for posting!

I looove this!!!! I have this on my psp!!!

That's exactly my story... Have you heard the sky and the dawn and the sun by Celtic woman? That chokes me with how beautiful it is. Please check it out. Best of wishes with getting there.

my eyes are happy... and my ears are grinning!

Never felt such touch direct to the Soul, Violyn is one of best Instruments, at least for me ;)

I love Mairead reaction to the guy that yells at 0:41. Priceless :))

Mairead + Nollaig= pure musical enchantment!

Thank you! will do though they do compliment one another.

It is AMAZING how their hair never touch the strings of their violins as they prance around like deers. It is just AMAZING!!

If I'm not too wrong, I believe that that tune's name is 'Galway gathering' by Ronan Hardiman

I love Mairead's hair in this! I have to admit, I like the pretty Celtic Woman dresses better than the all black leather look. Both I hand it to them both, their fiddle playing is marvelous!

Un-freaking-believable.

@matrix86 Actually this shot is from very early in her career- long before her days as one of the CW. Watching her play, however, makes me realize just how well deserved her title of "national fiddle champion" is.

Hey, LilGirlBlue, I'm an American who moved to Ireland almost 2 years ago. It's an incredible place, but I liked it better back in the 70s. It's gotten way more modern and has lost some of it's old world charm.

Wow, Cora really stomped on that first step didn't she? I love this song! They both are amazing!

..just wonderful! :)

AMAZING!

Great video! I wish I could play like that. Mairead is also a good singer.

How nice. Ireland's got talent.. Ray

Beautiful :)

I would be SCARED TO DEATH to be playing along side Mairead! But she pulls it off very well

LOVE IT !!!!!!!

it made me fall in love with violion music, too

Mairead and Cora both just tear it up here

Holy damn, WOW.

amazing

Good irish fiddlers themselves are just on an entirely different level than most other fiddlers, I believe (esp. Mairead!)

in the celtic women videos she comes bolting down playing wearing heels, i dnt see how its possible to concentrate and play that fast, while jumping and running around & i do agree that she is fantastic at what she does

Mairead is a former All-Ireland fiddle champion. She really plays in all the vids. She's been playing the fiddle since she was 6 years old so I think it's possible for her to play & jump at the same time. She's had years of practice. & she doesn't wear stilettos in the parts where she jumps around.

wow Irish music< is my favorite ¡Viva Irlanda!

She looks great regardless of what she is wearing !!!!
