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.

LOL I know that this is way behind don't even know if you still look at the youtubes but I cant watch this concert without wondering what the 40 violinist were thinking when she was out there tearing it up... do they think she is amazing or do they think she is a hack with no classical skill. I assume she is using metal strings as opposed to catgut, but she moves around so fast that I can't tell if she is using 4 or 5 strings... and damned if I can figure out what bridge she is using.... sometimes it looks arched to me like a violin and sometimes flat like a fiddle. Seriously! That and the fact that I can't figure out how she has any hair left I would think she gave herself a haircut everyday jumping around like that and cutting it with her bow! Don't get me wrong just watching it you can see that she really is doing it... no one could be that accurate with the bow movement while dancing around and trying to sync it! I have seen her in concert live and no doubt in my mind it was real. Anyway... just wondering what a violinist really thinks about her playing is it a wonder or an abomination?

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).

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!

"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'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.

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

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 have to agree that Celtic Women without Meav and Orla just isn't the same. The original group will always be the best to me, and why I became such a fan. Maybe a reunion can happen some day!

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.

Celtic Woman is not over, the group has changed a lot but I still love them

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

This song makes me want to go to the ocean and the river. :)... and to one of their concerts.

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

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.

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

Those percussionists are really pounding on their drums!

Beautiful women, with beautiful voices.

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

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

das ist das absolut beste was ich gehört habe

I always love listening to this song with my family

Wow, the choir is awesome. :)

(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)

I think that even though Chloe Agnew is a plus-size woman, it definitely doesn't overshadow her beauty. Very beautiful woman, with a voice to match.

Just the best ! Marvellous Celtic women !

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

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

Beautiful,gorgieous Irish vibe exillerating exciting entertaining. Lovely to watch like the Riverdance Micheal Flatley. I like these Celtic/Gealic themes. Lovely performance.The Welsh boy. Well done diown.Those girls grace the stage.
