I have this lovely image of collaborations being "Quick, we need a hurdy gurdyist - turn on the Pat Signal" and the clouds over Germany getting lit up.

**Not a marriage comment** but you doing these videos is like sitting down with a best friend :) very natural and very friendly :)

I had a little heart attack when you said Tuomas Holopainen! I love Nightwish so much and it's so nice that you like them too

When a talented musician like yourself has grace, an inviting personality, an adorable accent, a wonderful smile, amazing eyes, expect to have many comments. Your approach to them is remarkable. Just be certain to not allow overtly crude remarks. There is a line between fun and inappropriate. Keep making incredible content. You have an incredible gift. Thank you for sharing

My favorite song is "Leaves and Lemons". I love listening to this song when I'm on my motorcycle in the mountains of North Carolina here in the USA.

A relaxed and down to earth woman with a beautiful voice and good taste in music. Awesome.

It is nice when you make videos like this that talk about yourself and things your fans are curious about. It curbs those faux fantasies that some create when they don't truly know a person. It is a good reminder that you're just a person like the rest of us. Going through some of the same things as many others, and life with it's individualized ups and downs. I hope with your exceptional talent and influence, that it will help shape the path for others to be the best versions of themselves. Your music for me, inspires me to be a better me, which gives me great appreciation for the work you do. I look forward to all your upcoming releases, and hopefully something again with Faun someday. Thank you for sharing more about yourself.

While your work with Carnival Row brought you fans that haven't heard you yet, my wife and I watched Carnival Row because of you. 😁❤

Thank you for all you do Patty! Your music is a great way to relax through everything happening in the world!

I love the vibe in this video so much. You are such a likable person. Everything you say so relatable and so real!!! You are amazing!

Awesome Q and A! I could literally listen to you talk for hours on end....such a soothing relaxing voice. You are an incredible talent and glad you are getting more and more famous! I really want to see you live in the US if we can ever get over Covid and back to normal one day.

I’m delighted you are a wonderful creative role model for my daughters, they love your music!

Danke.Immet schon was von dir zu hören. Ein Schönes und erholsames Wochenende 🤘

Nice and short QandA there Patty. Glad to see you're doing reasonably well, though being lucky enough to live in my part of Australia, I've not had a lockdown to worry about, so I have no idea what effect that could be having. Hope to see you out here one day, when allowed, and not in one of our crappy cities but in our wonderful regional areas.

I like the way you responded to the question about your physical beauty. I think you handled that very well. Keep up the good work, and keep being such a great personality. I love that there are wholesome people like you out there

"I blow off steam by playing more instruments, actually..." This is the mark of an artist.

Thanks Patty for answering my questions! You're so awesome girl! Best decision I've made in a long time was supporting you on Patreon! You provide such great content!

About your costumes: my all time favorite is, that red dress you used in the Yule fiddler. It looks absolutely stunning

Milady, you are a crimson-haired German bard who's an utter sweetheart and delight to behold; you are Queen tier among SO MANY people's standards! 💖👸 That being said, I am just happy to see you performing and living your best life...I've seen your recent videos about the troubles you've going through, but I know you'll be able to overcome them. You're an incredible person with a lot of support from friends, family and fans, and in time life will sort itself out for you. Much love from upstate NY ✌🥰

Your outfits in your videos are always outstanding! Grieve No More in particular, just, so perfect. There's probably loads of costuming people who would love to work with you if you put the word out there.

"i woke up like this" just naturally gorgeous. And the costumes are fun.

Of course hell my wife wants to marry you too lol

You have such a grace about you miss Patty. Just to sit at a round table with some of your friends like Faun would be such a humble experience. Stay safe and be safe.

Honestly what i like the most about you and i think is probably what creates that magnetism of yours is how you keep your humanity you don't let it go your head and just how sweet you are like when you took the time to answer and have a discussion with me, a perfect stranger fan, casually, just like you were talking to a friend..... i will never forget that kindness 🙂

Enchanting is my first thought and comment! Your music and grace belies your age! Thank you for sharing a small part of your life with us, also thanks to your supporters on every platform. You have done wonderful work with your songs and videos. I say thank you! Please take care and be safe over there. See you next video or appearance when we can finally get together in a gathering.

I always look forward to seeing you on video's chatting about your life it's great take care patty and keep the amazing music and videos coming 👍❤💃

Zombies Ate My Pirate ship for a long time was my favorite Alestorm song, so I've been patiently waiting for another collab. It was great hearing you in Voyage of the Dead Marauder. Hope you come on tour in the USA! If so, I'll be there at the April 10th concert.

I love the place where you live. The background scenery is awesome

Lol luv your reaction to "how are you getting along during lockdown" Stay strong Patty you will come out the other side stronger and well prepared for life as a star!! Come to Canada when you get the chance!! Whomever gets to be your partner in your life will be the luckiest person in the world!!! Be safe and stay well Patty.

Aww Mía is so cute! 😍 I really like your music 👏👏👏 Greetings from México!

To be fair, green eyes and red hair is one of the rarest combinations out there, and you got a melodious voice to match! Though I'd never heard of a hurdy-gurdy before, so it's been interesting seeing how you built one and tune them for such a variety of songs.

Yeah I mean who wouldn’t want to be married to you? You’re absolutely Beautiful, wonderfully talented, you’re voice is more than amazing and most of us could sit here and just listen to you talk. I know who ever is lucky enough to have you is a lucky man.

Hello Patty, new fan here. Got introduced to the hurdy gurdy in a college music history class, looked it up on KZfaq, and ended up landing in your solo video of The Longing. First time hearing it, and I thought, “Wow. Now this would sound phenomenal with a full on metal.” Almost immediately after thinking that, I found the song played by you and Storm Seeker. Like I thought, PHENOMENAL! Also, your rendition of Molly Malone? What are the words for it? Hauntingly amazing. Keep music like that a coming, lady! Also, I like how you responded to that lockdown comment. Story of just about everyone’s lives.

You and your music are amazingly beautiful... Keep killing it Purdy lady.

im just here to relax and listen to your sweet music as it is so relaxing for me as i have autism. please keep it up the great work

ha ha I'm First !!! I feel Honoured. Good to see you so well Patty first time in the new year Best wishes this year is better than the last ! :) From Australia Ps Im never getting married again ha ha

Hi Patty, I know you get swathes of comments to look through, but just wanted to say thanks for your fantastic music. Kalte Winde is a big part of why I've started to learn German over the lockdown, almost at a full year of self studying! My grammar and sentence structure still needs so much work though. Ich liebe deine Musik sehr! :D Haben Sie einen schöne Tag!

The song with d'artagnan was so awesome. I love the sound of the hurdy gurdy because i've heard the sound since I was very small. We play lots of irish music at home with flute and harp and i really want to learn Hurdy Gurdy too but it is very hard to find a teacher for this instrument because it is not so common anymore. That is very sad. I love to hear you music :) Have a nice day ^^

No matter how hard you work on your music but definitely can't beat your own track " Gurdy's Green"

Love your music and videos. Keep making them and stay safe.

Patty, you are a very smart, natural beauty with a wonderful voice. The gurdy is nice but it's not what sells the package. I've only been married 44 years, but would still love to just give you a big hug for all the wonderful music you've made for us, your loyal fans. And, I love your accent!!!! Please, more music along the lines of your Christmas song!

Its understandable, just look at yourself. Your multi talented, very friendly, also really caring. From what I have seen. You often place others needs before your own. Your heart is so big that it spills on to other's all around you. All this and probably lots more before your beauty. And I'm positive that you are family oriented also. ☺💚

Thanks for the share sister 🌹be well and must say your always very gorgeous waiting for more content from you Patty Gurdy ❤️

You are amazing. Thanks for sharing your talent and beauty. Much success as you forge ahead

Keep up the great work👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Are there any musicians you'd love to collaborate with and haven't yet? I'd love to see you collaborate with Malukah some day, bonus points if you'd play a pair of travelling bards in a medieval tavern for the video.

I need to remember to dress up more when I perform. A little Turtle Wax on my forehead... I did that once and my brother did too, and it was like an infinity mirror. (I've actually got my harmonica in my profile pick, but it's hiding under my mustache.)

What a cute puppy 😊

Actually a big fan of yours since the Farewell (D'Artagnan) collab so if you have some more, i'd be pleased

Ha, hab dich durch deine Beteiligung bei Alestorm gefunden, ziemlich lustig eine deutsche Musikerin bei Alestorm zu finden die im Video so heftig abgeht (Bewegungs-mäßig) und dann in ihren eigenen Videos so ruhig ist^^ Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass du ruhig längere Q&A Videos machen kannst, die sind für die Fans immer sehr gern gesehen und informativ und die Länge ist eher sekundär.

I just got a Hurdy Gurdy tuff to find under 2k can’t wait to play it I like your style musically who would have known you can rock it

Lol, not gonna lie, I may have def made that statement to friend that I would totally marry you 😂😂😂 beautiful, smart, articulate, amazing artist, amazing voice! Patty you are the whole package!

I wish you all the best. Having seen my first hurdy gurdy at the Droitwich Salt Fair in Worcestershire I was then delighted to see your The Longing video. No one prettier than a red haired girl and that instrument is amazing....I want one despite having no discernable musical talent 😂

Totally agreeing with the comments. You are definitely one of the cutest ladyes on youtube.

Me when I see the thumb now of this video "Of course I do, who doesn't? is anybody really that surprised?" Anyway love your work looking forward to your next video!

I'm like that little wooey-eyed girl swooning on the desk in Billy Madison

Its so cute 💖

Your doooooog!! 😍😍😍

You are a wonderful lady please keep the content coming I enjoy your videos and music

Oh.This is one of the funniest dogs I have seen lately:).

To the music. I love listening to your music and the sound of your instrument

Ok, just going to say it. I have a bit of a crush on Patty. And so not ashamed to admit it 😉😁 I've been following you for a while now and honestly I could listen to your voice all day. Love your songs 👍 I am so happy to see your career on an upward trajectory. Keep up the good work Patty, stay healthy, stay safe.

Patty you are a great musician

Man, I may not want to marry you (I'm already head over heels in love with the most incredible woman in the world, and somehow fortunate enough that she loves me back), but I'd kill to have you play at my wedding; LOVE your rendition of Over the Hills and Far Away, and your original music is great! Plus, the fact that you appreciate Jim Steinman as a composer is a sign of having the most refined of musical taste. 😁

The absolute colour of your eyes!

Omg, you dog! So cute!

im really not surprised about all them guys saying that about marriage, your videos are very beautiful.

Wow, people actually ask you to marry them in the comment section ? How rude ! I'm a real gentleman, I would wait to at least meet you in person before asking such a question. I even have the ring ready. Seriously though, great videos and wonderful music, when I don't feel like playing Cello I just turn to Hurdy Gurdy now ! Thanks for bringing such light to this beautiful instrument !

You’re so talented and beautiful... anyone who didn’t want to marry you would be crazy.

Glad 😊👈 your artistic personality shows, but most of all your being yourself.👍🦘🐨🤠👈🫖☕🍩👈on the house. Great music. Luv Australia 🦘🐨🤠👈

Love the doggie an my little fella would love her . Keep up bieng the awesome talented lady that you is an we will keep following you .

Your eyes are mesmerizing. Such talent and beauty!

Jim Steinmen is one of my favorite composers too.

Lets see. Red head - Check Irish/German accent - Check Inspiring and mesmerising singing voice - Check Talented musician who even builds her own instruments - Check Dog lover - Check Who wouldn't want to marry you really? :D

Wanting to merry Patty, is like scene in Dumb and Dumber... Mary: "More like 1 out of a million." Lloyd: "Sooo you're telling me there's a chaaannce? YEAH!" lol

There are indeed better things for you to worry about. Enjoy your prettiness while it lasts, but perhaps you've better things to offer.

All the bands need to ask her collabs

I knew you had a great ear for good music. Jim Steinman is a great songwriter, especially his collaborations with Meatloaf. I now wish you had the chance to perform with him just once! You playing and singing on It’s All Coming Back To Me Now!

Funny talented and heart warming ❤️

She is lovely.

Excellent Patty, U R Brilliant Human

Ich habe für zwei Jahre in Deutschland gewohnt und etwas Deutsch gelernt. Es war die beste zwei Jahre in meinem Leben! Ich vermisse Deutschland sehr!

Ah yes, the marry me comments. Well, that's what you get for being a lovely person with natural beauty :) Especially if you are musically talented. I understand the makeup for the camera ^^ I don't think you need it IRL.

Hey Patty, you should check out Rachel Maksy, as I am certain she would love to discuss or coordinate your outfits. She's fashionable.

It's already spring outside in Germany,and birds started to chirp.

You have personality, beauty and talent. It's no surprise people want to marry you

I have a cat named Mia, and also nervously laugh when people ask about lockdown/quarantine!

I love your little chihuahua

I miss Mia! She is awesome ♥

I really falling in love with her!

I love you Patty 🤣 I need a friend like you irl.

Your dog is lovely

Jim Steinman is amazing. His Tanz der Vampire musical is so great~

If i was younger i would Marry you too. You are absolutely gorgeous Patty.

First question. Great answer! Tuomas is a god!

I love all your videos and even though I do find you very attractive, it isn't the beauty of your body that keeps me comin back for more with every video but the beauty of the music you provide to your listener's ear. Music is my passion. I'm already married and am still very much in love in love. I wouldn't want anything more than what my wife and I share but when it comes to music, I am continuously searching for listening pleasure from the notes and the voices that capture an emotion from me and your music has always done that. You're beautiful and you're awesome. Looking forward to your next video.

You are absolutly amazing, not just really talented musician but also you have a great personality! I'm not gonna ask you to marry me but I want to be your friend :)

I'm just in love with this music and talent I'd definitely have dinner but that's just because I'm you are such an interesting person

God your personality is just adorable 3:17

Have you thought about doing Schuberts' The Hurdy Gurdy man (Aka Der Leiermann - I think, mien duesch es nien zo gut)?
