I know , right ?

Same! It’s ridiculous of me, but hey, that’s the effect of real art. Ya know, even as a fiddler myself, VERY few tunes, or trad music performances, or anything music-related actually ever moves me to tears. I could probably count on one hand… one being Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill performing at Valley of the Moon in 2008. I cried at his playing. Solas in concert… crying. When they performed _Bruach Na Carraige Baine_ that just about killed me. And then we have this Leahy-MacMaster family concert… at the end when they all dance, and the finale, yup. I was out! Hahaha.

Yep, me too 😢

Only 3 years left!

When most viewers will think that this is irish …. but there are some differences

I grew up in The suburbs of Boston in the sixties and listened to The British invasion and American pop music. My mother sang in the church choir and my father liked the big band swing era. But we always went to Nova Scotia and Cape Breton in the summer and visited the fishing villages and dairy farms of our relatives from 1960 -1970. I am watching the MacMaster family video's here in 2019 and I'm crying like a baby. I then realized the children were wearing the Nova Scotia tartan and It was so emotional. I liked bluegrass and folk music all these years but after watching these videos I realized I had missed out on something that was never to be. No one in my family ever talked about traditional Irish or Scots music even to this day. My whole family were musicians and singers and I was a great dancer. But it was all about Rock & Roll with a little blues & soul mixed in. This music was never meant to be for me but it will always be in my heart and soul. Yes my parents and grandparents were born in the Maritimes. My icon is the red ensign flag from Nova Scotia that my grandparents use to have on the walls of their houses.

Musically enraptured family as far as i can see b'y

Same lol

My whole family only played Rock and now I know I missed out.

Such a talented family really enjoyed it very much, during these hard days, may God bless you all
