That is astounding. Not just for one person to play such a long very active piece, alone, but to have two people playing it as a duet and not getting a note wrong, and then dance all around the stage. I am huffing and puffing and my heart rate is up, and all that plus then admiring the personal shape and fitness of them both. I may need to call an 🚑
Dude to balance on those high heels is hard enough. To play the fiddle like that. While jumping and dancing on those high heels. And smiling too all the time. I can't begin to imagine how much practice went to this act.
I saw her 25 years ago in Detroit the first time Riverdance came here! She was outstanding even back then!! Have loved watching her over all these years!!
Mairead is an excellent fiddler but nobody mentioned Cora Smyth. She is nothing short of brilliant and her and her sister Breda are two of the best musicians I have ever seen. Its not all about throwing the hair all the time.
There are soooo many things happening here at the same time. Michael Flatley did something like this in his production, River Dance.....Remember that? Truly spectacular..... Absolutely magnificent performance here by these beautiful women..............
To those who doubt these ladies are actually doing this, I've seen Celtic Woman live and she is undoubtedly one of the best going period. She is doing it and it amazing when she does.
Joyous performance by two brilliant musicians. It's quite made my day watching it. Everything was good. Tech, choreography, costume all worked. Also the ladies seemed to be enjoying what the were doing so much that it made me feel good to watch them. Thanks everyone.
Beautiful violin, beutiful and flawless music, and need I say it, beautiful women! Thank you for posting! These kind of tunes,....why I love the part of my country called the Maritimes!
I love that these two are dancing and playing flawlessly at the same time...but look. They're both wearing _heels._ I could never dream of doing something so energetic with heels like that. Especially Mairead's. How the hell.
There are not enough words in ANY language that even begin to describe this!!!!! Watching two BEAUTIFUL women play like that and Smith dancing in 5 inch heels while she's doing it! INCREDIBLE!!!!!! I can't even walk & play my guitar at the same time...
One of the best with or without celtic woman you guys rock way to go to mairead nesbitt one of the best and favorite vocalists ever much love and respect and appreciation job well done you should be amazed and proud keep on playing stay safe and warm out there way to go very impressed love you guys thanks !!! Joe 😅😅😊
Still now, thank you! Absolutely 💯 amazing ladies! Thank you for your passion and talent 🙏 💞! Even though I can never messure up, you make me proud to be a woman, a mother, a grandchild/"child" to an amazing Oma who was a musician 🥰😇
Nice one girls. Oh to play the "fiddle" like that, and what a brilliant piece of music it has always been. love the blue outfits too. Smith and Nesbitt forever. And this song and composer Arthur Smith, forever. Think I'll watch the clip from Deliverace again. Love to all.
To all that are saying this is fake and that no one can dance and jump around like these two ladies and play that accurately, I have new for you: yes they can. It just takes practice...A LOT of practice and die hard dedication to do something as unorthodox as this. If you don't believe me, look up a sport called marathon juggling--yes, it's a real thing--and see if that's "fake" as well.
You just need to see beyonkey and rhianna trying to sing and stomp about the stage can't, because they always run out of puff.....I reckon these two can dance about, play and do it for real, plus they entertain...
I don't know why it is classed as 'dueling'. If anything they are perfectly 'accompanying' each other. :-) Love this so much it give me chill every time I watch it and the original Lord of the dance.
Kaos Although they are accompanying each other, this style of music is considered "dueling" because they're both increasing in intensity with their solos, as if they're trying to outdo each other, when they really are dueting.
Great effort is made, by me, to live one day at a time. That day being Saint Patrick's Day. Listening to Celtic music always, with out fail, restores my spirits. Thank you for the upload.
Mairead nesbitt one of the best and favorite violinlests ever with Celtic woman really enjoyed and appreciate you guys thanks job well done you should be amazed and proud love and appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock ! Joe
This is DEFINITELY REAL!! I've seen Celtic Woman in concert and Marid Nesbit (The One with the Green Violin) is AWESOME!!! See dances around stage as she's playing. I've never seen anyone as good as her! Google her name of you still don't believe! 👀👍👏👏👏💯
I haven't seen her yet but I have seen the Harp Twins, they live about 300 miles from me and come to my area of Illinois once a year for a free concert, they will spends hours at a meet and greet after their shows.
I must have been 7 or 8 when I first heard this. Apart from my parent's music, I still didn't know what I liked in music. This was my first "favorite" song. I referred to it throughout my childhood as my happy song because I didn't know what it was. I would just ask my mom to play my happy song over and over.
I wish I could have heard the fiddles more, Instead I heard a lot of accordion! But when I saw this show, the two young ladies in this video weren't there, but the two young ladies that did were fantastic.
It's great to look away from the video and just listen. They look like they are dueling but, to just my ear, they have fantastic oneness and harmony. Great performance.
I love how there are people cheering wildly the entire time in the audio and yet whenever the camera pans over the audience it's like 50% people over the age of like 70 sitting there just enjoying it and the rest are various ages...and they're all not cheering wildly.
Some very negative comments....A lot of people talking waffle...they have a good sound they look well... sit back and enjoy....enough from the critics....all the best players on the side line
GRACIAS, Máiréad, por tus hermosos videos , uno más lindo que el otro eres increíble tocando el violins y esas hermosas melodías que tocas, Tim me hablo de ti, que bello será verlos en vivo pero una lastima que Perú esta demasiado lejos. Me encanta sus música todos son maravillosos y siempre los veo por video. Muchos cariños desde Perú. Ponet
Though now that i mention it it could also be from Celtic Tiger or Feet of Flames...these 2 are in most Michael Flaherty productions. Still great though
Elles jouent en play back ! Et c'est franchement commercial les deux blondes... Non, on est plus proche de la variété celtisante que de la musique irlandaise authentique ! Je te conseil d'écouter le dernier Gwendal, un live enregistré à Gexto en Espagne (sur youtube)... Là ! on est dans un autre registre .
I'm impressed that Máiréad Nesbitt trusts those heels she's wearing NOT to break. 😉
She’s a fae, she just flies about

Because you can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done.@@edusam666
@@edusam666Yeah, 100% playback - but the show is very nice!
Not only outstanding music but the sheer joy with which they play is completely infectious - I love it!
Mairead Nesbitt, such an adorable total talent package! She throws everything into her performances.
seeing her flutter across the stage like a fairy now with the celtic women is also real fun to watch
It's so wonderful to see her performance.
I saw her 25 years ago in Detroit the first time Riverdance came here! She was outstanding even back then!! Have loved watching her over all these years!!
Nobody plays with the style, flare and ability as Mairead Nesbitt. I could watch and listen to her all day!
Riverdance gave so much pleasure and the "Dueling Violins" is absolutely outstanding.
Not Riverdance. Lord of the dance. Big difference.
This song just turns my soul into a glowing ball of joy
Yea I can really tell it in your face.
Hi , I know it's being 6 yrs now but to come late better than not to come at all ..
Are you single Irish, I am Arab guy looking for halal marriage

An old post. But a glorious phrase. I'll be using it, crime not to.
Hope your soul is glowing a lot.
👍🤜♥️🤛
Mairead always dances when playing seen her playing and dancing with Celtic Woman Live and man she is awesome
john bethell so have I many times she really can run and dance she fantastic
She is truly amazing to watch. ❤
I've had the pleasure seeing Celtic Women live. I had no doubts about her ability to move, dance, and play - this is pure talent.
it still amazes me how ecstatic the audience is.
really love this piece.
As always, just like new, every time I view!!!!
Never gets old.. terrific piece..
never fails to amaze me the talent that comes out of Ireland
Mairead is an excellent fiddler but nobody mentioned Cora Smyth. She is nothing short of brilliant and her and her sister Breda are two of the best musicians I have ever seen. Its not all about throwing the hair all the time.
BOTH LADIES PLAY THE MOST POWERFUL MUSIC WITH GRACE

Flipping hair happens when its long and you dance and play a fiddle fast lol. Its def a workout. Video dosent do justice to this live though.
There are soooo many things happening here at the same time. Michael Flatley did something like this in his production, River Dance.....Remember that? Truly spectacular.....
Absolutely magnificent performance here by these beautiful women..............
They have mastered their violin playing and their stage presence is outstanding!
What a stunning performance. The energy is wonderful.
This is what I am talking about, pure talent at work.
They are not actually playing lol
Music At its best
This song makes me dance around in my room every time! No lie! 👍😍 🎻
Wow thats great! Makes me want to immigrate BACK to Ireland! Our grand Parents came here, it would be cool if we all went back home!
I have family in Ireland that I've never even met. My grandmother who was a knockout was full Irish. She was a dancer and model
To those who doubt these ladies are actually doing this, I've seen Celtic Woman live and she is undoubtedly one of the best going period. She is doing it and it amazing when she does.
Joyous performance by two brilliant musicians. It's quite made my day watching it.
Everything was good. Tech, choreography, costume all worked. Also the ladies seemed to be enjoying what the were doing so much that it made me feel good to watch them.
Thanks everyone.
Mairead Nesbitt performed in a magical musical video with the Harp Twins recently. Talk about ultimate energy! I can't wait for it to go public.
Saw the Harp Twins perform, they even knew it was my 60th Birthday :)
Beautiful violin, beutiful and flawless music, and need I say it, beautiful women! Thank you for posting! These kind of tunes,....why I love the part of my country called the Maritimes!
Very talented and damn, I could watch them all day. Especially the one in pants, jumpsuit or whatever is was.
That's Misread Nesbitt formerly from Celtic Woman.
I love that these two are dancing and playing flawlessly at the same time...but look. They're both wearing _heels._ I could never dream of doing something so energetic with heels like that. Especially Mairead's. How the hell.
Wow! It's impossible to call a favorite - both are incredibly beautiful and talented. I call a draw.
There are not enough words in ANY language that even begin to describe this!!!!! Watching two BEAUTIFUL women play like that and Smith dancing in 5 inch heels while she's doing it! INCREDIBLE!!!!!! I can't even walk & play my guitar at the same time...
wonderful performance by these the ladies!! thank you posting this video!!

Tento duet je vynikající a po tolika letech nic nestratil ze své krásy. Stále je mám rád.
Still now, thank you! Absolutely 💯 amazing ladies! Thank you for your passion and talent 🙏 💞! Even though I can never messure up, you make me proud to be a woman, a mother, a grandchild/"child" to an amazing Oma who was a musician 🥰😇
Irish music has survived through famine and oppression... And it's more than clear from this performance! It has only grown stronger and stronger!
Alue14 I will take a mad bake potatoe with butter & cream cheese please.
Now it will have to survive multiculturalism and globalism.
Alue14 this is about as close to authentic Irish music as a goldfish is to a horse. Just horrible
Kill me please
Alue14 Scots Music
When she does live performances she sounds great while playing and pulls off insane movements while doing it.
truly a wonderful peace of art work. I love their costumes too.

And don't leave out Lindsey Stirling
You just need to see beyonkey and rhianna trying to sing and stomp about the stage can't, because they always run out of puff.....I reckon these two can dance about, play and do it for real, plus they entertain...
yea but its an electric violin
Good example. talent must get its due.....ALWAYS .....EVERYWHERE
I can certainly vouch for this since I have seen Mairead Nesbitt in concert several times.
I don't know why it is classed as 'dueling'. If anything they are perfectly 'accompanying' each other. :-) Love this so much it give me chill every time I watch it and the original Lord of the dance.

They’re having friendly competition, not ugly competition!
Oh, thank you AdriFlaherty...... What a wonderful experience! Brought happiness to my heart.
They are just awesome! :) I love that song, it's so lively!!
LOVE it; great to see violinist's just having fun and letting loose
Great effort is made, by me, to live one day at a time.

Irish traditional music. Not Celtic music............

Mairead Nesbitt, my all-time favorite violinist. I could listen to her play for hours on end...
Amo este duelo! Ojala todos los conflictos y guerras fueran asi de bonitos!
Fun and beautiful music! Love it!
Beautiful & talented---who could ask for more!
They are awesome. Some great music and instrumental playing.
Lnda, tua musica, tua Energia, teu ser, Realmente Iumiados.
Gratidão por compartilhar tua Emergia conosco.
Suceo e Paz sempre.
Absolutely amazing.
I never tire of listening to these wonders of the violin
very beautifull! all the musical instruments are beautiful but the violin has a particular sound, absolute peace.
Mairead Nesbitt has to be the most beautiful pixie walking the earth
she's my second cousin
I think you should come to Norway. ;-p
Pixie Princess and so talented.
Yeh, she's a mad looking thing......
Life is unfair - how can you be so beautiful AND talented too
The blonde in blue with the violin definitely won.
That's funny.
Ha ha
therealnightwriter yeah but the blonde broad with the fiddle had better stage presence
Irrelevance as if you could tell
agreed
Brilliant musicians, awesome playing☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️🎉❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They are so connected, I love them!
These ladies remind me of the aunts in Sabrina the teenage witch.
I can see it too!
OMG THATS IT XD
Unaired episode, they lost a bet to Salem and don't know the talent will stop mid song
Who says they're not?
Just amazing !
We love violin music ! And this is some of the very BEST ! Amen
Okay, no one won. Respect is attained here. They are beautiful artists. God I love this! Just enjoy it.
"THEY US PLAYED LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE !"
@TheWearyWarlord WHY ARE WE STILL HERE ?
This is DEFINITELY REAL!! I've seen Celtic Woman in concert and
Marid Nesbit (The One with the Green Violin) is AWESOME!!! See dances around stage as she's playing. I've never seen anyone as good as her! Google her name of you still don't believe! 👀👍👏👏👏💯

Thanks 😊
Beautiful ladies having fun. Infectious.
I love this, thanks for sharing! Now I know where some of our country music comes from! GOOD TIMES!
Throughout my life I've witnessed some instances of musical perfection, but this one has to be the most beautiful as well
have you noticed that by the end of the song, both of their bows are a little "frazzled"?? Just shows that some serious fiddle playing was done.
I wish I could have heard the fiddles more, Instead I heard a lot of accordion! But when I saw this show, the two young ladies in this video weren't there, but the two young ladies that did were fantastic.
This is simply a great extravaganza of the finest talent!
I'm more impressed that they can move around stage like that in those heels than I am with the fiddle playing, though that was impressive as well.
The fact that they’re literally prancing in *HEELS* amazes me. I’d fall over in seconds and break the violin
I have just found this, Fantastic. Mairead, Princess in the mist. Cora together just beautiful .
This tempo is Old time in Australia.
It's great to look away from the video and just listen. They look like they are dueling but, to just my ear, they have fantastic oneness and harmony. Great performance.
Having heard the studio version many, many, many times, I do believe that they are really playing!
They are playing I listen to Mairèad Nesbit albums all the time she is playing
This is dedicated to my good friends, James and Seamus. U know who u r. I treasure u always!
absolutely beautiful and full of Life
Fabulous have to have a listen everyday....still Rocks 2021
I love you ! Kisses from Périgord, France.

Unique! A wonder of rythm! And a magic performance out of a genuine passion.
Damn. I shouldn't have quit those violin lessons.
Some very negative comments....A lot of people talking waffle...they have a good sound they look well... sit back and enjoy....enough from the critics....all the best players on the side line
My ancestors were from Scotland for 11th century ... They make me vibrate and shiver !!!
Unbelievably beautiful.
the most amazing part is that they are skipping and jigging on high heels.
I Know. I could not believe Mairead's heels!.
Well Mairead does have a background in Bluegrass music too so I could see her being able to move around like this with little effort.
The shoes being boots probably helps a lot
ThibautVDP and also not playing at all
@MIS315. They play for real. You can see Mairead's bow gets some loose hair because of the friction to violin.
My sister once tried to run like that while playing her violin. As a result, she broke her ankle, and she had to buy a new violin...
They're not actually playing though
Curvy Nipple Yeah I know, but I guess she did not...
+Victor Bordier Yikes...i'm laughing but I do hope your sister mended well and got another Violin!! Cheers and thanks for sharing! Cheers
You should see what Lindsey Stirling does while playing. I'm surprised she hasn't broken a few bones.
+Curvy Nipple This was recorded live. THEY ARE PLAYING!!!!!
