They're all such sweethearts. Last time I was at Natalie and Donnell's house they were going through the rounds teaching the kids- every kid has a half hour lesson each on dancing and fiddling every day. Adorable :)
Love Leahy and Natalie as well. Have seen them in concerts over the past few years. Leahy at CalTech in Feb. And to believe that the first time I saw Leahy was on PBS. Natalie just before that.
I had the honour of growing up near the Leahy family. I grew up in Young's Point and went to school in Lakefield. I know where they live exactly and have seen them in the Kinmount fair. :)
Funny how such a relentless assault can win over even the most skeptical. Many young rockers,determined to be resistant, when exposed to one live performance become admirers. Traditionalists, who resent the New Age trappings & modern insrumental renderings, begrudgingly smile. Artists like Leahy provide a gateway for new fans to experience through curiousity, other artists & forms of traditional music. The Chieftans have always understood this,& their work in promoting & preserving is unmatched.
Ethnically Leahy are Scottish and Irish, their nationality is Canadian. They play a Canadian version of their heritage music, from Scotland and Ireland. They are joined by the Chieftains, who are Irish both in their ethnicity and nationality.
You know, when you compare Donnell Leahy to the "dueling violins" videos on UA-cam, there is absolutely no comparison. He is so much better he is in a different class musically. Not that they are so bad, it's just that he is that good!
I’ve heard him called the best in the world, and while I’m certain Charlie Daniels would contest that, it would be great fun indeed to hear the two of them battle over a golden fiddle to settle the issue…
Kari Macleod the tunes in order are "The Curlew" by Josephine Keegan, "Jenny's Chickens," then a third tune, then the Glasgow reel. Not sure the third name.
I hate to make this comparison,but just watch some mindless rapper talk an inane song with a beat and then watch this.These guys have more talent in their hangnail then most popular artists do.
I'm serious, look at 1:45 in the video. it's just the piano that's playing, but everyone's still jammin away. not accusing the band of anything, I just think that there's something up with the video, a time delay perhaps?
It's true, you can't listen to their music and NOT smile. The joy on their faces...you can tell they have so much fun doing this. :D

Brutal speed fiddler! Is awesome and it's great to see the Chieftains too.
Fantastic. Never get tired of this song. As the spectator says: "Oh my God". That sums it all up.
That’s not a spectator, that’s Paddy Maloney of The Chieftains.

The Leahy family makes this style of music even better
My father used to do a silly step dance. Growing up with Don, we danced alot. Makes me tear up everytime

Just too, too AMAZING. Have seen them three times and they are the BEST!!!
Music for me , love it!!!! Music for the soul .
This video is bursting with energy and downright joy.
These guys are just wonderful. They seem to have so much joy in making the music, it's a pleasure to listen to.
Just simpsly absolutely the BEST!!!
I love all the history and talent of Celtic music, but I have to say it, I just can't help it- HE'S SO HOT!!! :D
Who on earth gives this less than 5 stars. Maybe the video quality but that's it... Bravo! I wish I could play like that.
They are so great!
Nice! video and music. amazing!
Saw Leahy this sunmmer in Lowell, MA ...totally blown away...received a great reception and review....Hope they come again
Awesome family of artists, the chemistry between them is just... wow ! The speed at which the main violonist play is a great feat to accomplish...
Gosh, I love Leahy and just found my faibel for the Chieftains!!! This is great stuff!!!
Yes, the song is actually called "B Minor" :) It's on their first (self titled) album. Worth every penny & more. We're seeing them tomorrow night!
Totally Classic!
Pure genious and talent! I remember when I was at the chieftains' concert here in mallorca. It was amazing! I ended dancing on the stage! 5 stars
Took the words right out of mouth :D
The Leahy Women are so talented and oh SO SO SO SO SO SO Beautiful.............XOXOXOXOXOXOX!
Dude I Remember watching this on PBS or something ages ago. Brings back hella memories!
i love that piece
Ethnically Leahy are Scottish and Irish, their nationality is Canadian. They play a Canadian version of their heritage music, from Scotland and Ireland. They are joined by the Chieftains, who are Irish both in their ethnicity and nationality.
That's the key of the tune, because he does multiples, and one of them is Tam Lin which is definitely ot in B-minor, it's either D-minor or A-minor.
Oh my god this is avsolutely amazing. I'd give anything to be as talented as these people. The lead fiddle player is unbelievable
A hour a day of practice
👌
What a great song. Thanks for postin.
This is SWEEEEEEET!
Absolutely!!

Saw them when they came to the Eisemann Center in Dallas and loved every moment of it :D

The first album is great

+Svan Vinski If you mean sheets of music then yes, but I don't have this complete version; mine is a shorter one

if you can send them
svan.vinski@gmail.com
Leahy family / group is Canadian, from Lakefield, Ontario. The Chieftains are irish.
GREAT!!!!
The only thing that's bad in this video clip is that the sound is slightly delayed. Everything else: PERFECT!! ^^
By the way the first part is jenny's Chickens and then two variations of Tam Lin. And believe me it is difficult to play but sounds fantastic!!!
super...super...super!!!
They aren't playing till they bust a few strings. lol!!
WOW !!!!!!
HOLY CRAP!
great!
Wow this is my favorite tune ever!!!
but I can't find the sheet music anywhere =(
this is on one of the Leahy albums actually!
i want to see their concert in live

Woah!
LOL XD that's so true:P
最高！
that's a fuckin high speed song lol! i LOVE IT
@k5intx His name is Donnell Leahy
he makes it soo easy, I can play like 2/3rd of it, but boy is it hard to learn by ear
Impressive & intence.
5 big ones for this gem
Cant beat the irish:-D:-D
istephen00 the chieftians arent. t.he are our national treasure:-D:-D
4:25 〜 nice
did anyone else notice that the one guitar dosen't seem to have a headpiece?
Yes, I Guess
the secon tune they play is one i play and we know it as "the galsgow reel" but that's probably not it's original name!
Kari Macleod the tunes in order are "The Curlew" by Josephine Keegan, "Jenny's Chickens," then a third tune, then the Glasgow reel. Not sure the third name.
is this on any of the chieftan's albums? if so, which one?
...*gasp*...
I hate to make this comparison,but just watch some mindless rapper talk an inane song with a beat and then watch this.These guys have more talent in their hangnail then most popular artists do.
They are Scottish/Irish - Canadian.
The Cheiftains are not given enough credit here. Cameras always on Leahy.
k caos! Mejor ahora que estan mas talluditos y vejetes y suenan mucho mejor!
Sean's very good but Donnell Leahy may well be the best in the world. Certainly in the top 2 or 3.
What year was this from?
YO!
I'm serious, look at 1:45 in the video.
it's just the piano that's playing, but everyone's still jammin away.
not accusing the band of anything, I just think that there's something up with the video, a time delay perhaps?
