Hillary Klug and Mairead Nesbitt collaborate on a fusion of traditional Celtic and Appalachian music! They fiddle and dance in Bru Boru and the Rock of Cashel in Tipperary, Ireland.
#fiddle #dance #celtic #Appalachian #traditional
"This project is a dream come true for me! I'm so thankful for the experience of getting to meet and film with Mairead Nesbitt! She's a phenomenal fiddler with a heart of gold! We were instant friends, and the dynamic was as though I've known her and played with her for years! I look forward to future projects with her!!
We're playing a traditional tune, and the special thing about this tune is that it's common to both the Irish and Appalachian fiddle traditions. In Ireland, they call it "Miss McLoud's Reel," and in America we call it "Did You Ever See the Devil Uncle Joe?" It has other names including "Hop High Ladies." Obviously we took the liberty of combining a few names to make it our own. In the recording, you can hear the distinct differences between Irish and Old-Time fiddle. While they're completely unique, they also compliment each other in this fusion we created!"

Two beautiful and talented ladies performing their magic on the fiddle.

Right word! MAGIC!

Thanks SO much for these amazing comments! LOVE playing with Hillary & we hope to do more soon!!
Thoroughly enjoyed that, Hillary you never cease to deliver and Máiréad Nesbitt you’re a national treasure!
Ciaran Mc Cormack Thanks so much! Máiréad is amazing! Such an inspiration to my music and dance!
When you’re back I’m coming to see you! Thanks for being so fantastic 😉
I have admired Mairead Nesbitts music for years, and her energy! Oh my! And for the past year have followed Hillary, been thinking that someday with her energy that she would be another miss Nesbitt.
I have been a fan of Mairead for years, ever since I first saw her with Celtic Woman. Hillary, you picked the right person to be your inspiration. Two beautiful ladies who are phenomenal fiddle players; it just doesn't get much better than that.
That was absolutely beautiful. Would love to see more of the two of you, the mixing of the to styles is awesome together. Not to mention your both easy on the eyes to watch.
dozersfb69 We have another video! 😁 Stay tuned!
@@HillaryKlug how hard is it to learn the fiddle
First saw Mairead at the Liverpool Empire ,where she was supporting Michael Flatley, this is a brilliant collaboration, there is another Mairead who isn't half bad ....my daughter..peace and love from the wirral..last known whereabouts of sir Gawain and the green knight...E
Been a fan of Mairead's for years, since first seeing (hearing) her with Celtic Woman. I JUST stumbled across Hillary literally two days ago when she popped up in my TH-cam suggestion box. My immediate first thought was how cool it would be for the two of them to get together and collaborate on some fiddle music.But nah, I thought, they're in two different genres, and the chances of the two ever stumbling across each other nil. Sonuvagun, first swallow of coffee this AM THIS pops up!! Did I kick the bucket overnight and wind up where I'd hoped? Unlikely as the prospect. Nope, checked and still have a pulse. This may not be heaven, but close as this ol Texas boy will likely ever see. Thanks ladies. You made my day. THIS is as good a start to a day as mere mortals are gonna ever get.
I don’t think they’ve hit their stride yet either. I think they’re, experimenting, seeing what works since they have different rhythms .

Tuitui8yyy8i
I just found this, but I'm curious, as a starter, why does she have the mute on the violin?
Hillary Klug a soon to be American Treasure playing alongside Máiréad Nesbitt already a National Treasure and combined these two are EVEN MORE A M A Z I N G ! I could listen all day!
Took the words right out of my mouth.
The world needs more of this..
Less CNN.
We would all be better off.
H K indeed!
I started watching the news every 4th day. So much stuff designed to upset us. And they wonder why ppl feel bad or hate.
My life is so much happier since I quit watching American news.
You wouldn't believe what's happening sanctuary state Washington sanctuary cities Olympia Tacoma Seattle.. horrible criminal Acts against God and nature.. Unnecessary surgical procedures for sexual gratification and experimentation performed on male and female veterans and citizens... No federal or presidential oversight..When President Trump States their full of crime he means it....
@@plywoodcarjohnson5412 in this sanctuary City in this sanctuary state of Washington I have cable plus not one fox conservative news channel They're evil they push their socialist narrative brainwashing people.. And if you speak out loudly about it you know become voiceful speak out they will harm you
I love how the Scotch Irish on both sides of the pond are reaching out to each other after all of these centuries.
The funny thing is the music, dancing, and accents all, haven't changed much.
Appalachia is historically Ulster Scot, I am unaware of which side of the Boyne that Mairead is from, and neither woman cares.
That's kind of beautiful in itself.
Well said, that man.
fiddle reels and strathpeys are indigenous to Scotland, always played at ceildhs. the fiddle was introduced to Ireland around the 1700s. the irish learned many Scottish reels
Mairead is from Loughmore which is in county Tipperary in the Republic.
@Michael Halligan Hi Michael I don’t understand why Irish people would be insulted by the title Scots/ Irish.All it means and ,I am sure you know, is that they were people with a Scottish ancestry (mainly border Scots) that had settled in Ulster in Ireland.Many of them subsequently emigrated to America and settled in Appalachia and other areas of America .🏴😊
@@r.johnston919 That's all basically true as far as I have read, but misses a key aspect, namely why they settled there. The English king (I forget which one) had sent them there to colonize and attempt to take over Ireland in that manner. To establish a beach head, so to speak. My mother's family are of Ulster Scots descent also.
Bluegrass, & Irish Fiddlers. Two different sounds that goes So Well Together!!!!
Thank A Lot Ladies!!!!
Appalachian, not bluegrass ✌😎 but it does sound awesome!
@Freeda Peeple, bluegrass comes from the Appalachian region, and last time I checked, Hillary’s music was from the bluegrass genre.
@@Aurochhunter No, bluegrass was specifically and intentionally invented in the 1930s by Bill Monroe, who intended it to be his own personal style and was very upset when others copied it. Nothing before Bill Monroe is bluegrass.
I don’t consider my fiddling to be bluegrass. I call it “old-time,” but a lot of people use bluegrass as a blanket term for traditional fiddle in a lot of regions and other countries. There’s really not a lot of difference, and it can sound the same. So if people call it bluegrass, I just leave it alone and don’t correct them 🤷🏼♀️ There’s enough cross over tunes, notes, and licks.
@@HillaryKlug You are correct, and what's more I was mistaken about where Bill Monroe was from. My apologies to anyone I offended in my ignorance.
Never have I seen such talent matched with the joy of the moment. The two of you have such incredible energy!
It's amazing how that the long hair doesn't get in the way of the fiddling,.
harvey harris It does sometimes! 😆 I had a hard time recording my “Cliffs of Moher” video because of the wind blowing my hair into my fiddle and in my face.
Wow , agreed an amazing gift indeed! Both look amazing while dancing around n all of the golden lites dances in the air! Gorgeous indeed! Insure it for the max allowed by law! You are such a precious gift! Thank you!
HOH 😂😂😂 How much should I insure it for?
@@HillaryKlug At least one gazillion dollars... :D
@@HillaryKlug Hair as beautiful as yours cannot hold a monetary value!
These two ladies are absolute sweethearts Bravo to both
Ever met'em?
Rod knows well
I feel so old and proud to see these young ladies having fun! Let their light shine! 🙏
The hair on these ladies must be the envy of many a woman.
MJ NYC indeed,to say the least... Gorgeous the both of them!
I was just wondering if they could use some goldilocks to string their bows?
The ones who would envy this the most are not women.
@@Thebonesoftrees true . But I bet a lot of women would like to look like them.
The hair, the looks, the talent, the beauty... I could go on
The two ladies did an outstanding job it was Perfect Pitch and mastery have a fine art the collaboration was fantastic it makes you want to get up and move and dance to the music also a stunning performance
My goodness, that was so wonderful to see the both of you absolutely wrapped up in the enjoyment of your talents together! Breathtaking!!
I don't know which was greater, the joy on your faces or the joy in your bows. Love you both and thank you.
Marvelous the pair of you played brilliantly a pair of beautiful young talented ladies thank you
This is MY kind of "longhair" music. Beyond excellent, ladies!
Such stunningly beautiful hair drives men delightfully insane, and we love that type of madness! I love all of this and the talent and entertainment value that many millions of us no doubt miss!
It was great to see that someone was smart enough to put these two wonderful and talented ladies together. Thank you.
You’re both really good! I love the tune and the location. Hillary your hair is so long, it’s amazing to see it when you dance!
I am smiling from ear to ear. Feet tapping. Thank you. From a 71 year old needing a smile today.
It's good to have such long hair in case you ever have a bow re-stringing emergency.
wonder what it would sound like!
th-cam.com/video/twPfDrTbPg8/w-d-xo.html
You seem more like troll that came here rather someone that appreciates their music!
@@gothnickify their hair and their music are amazing
oops. k glad I was wrong.
Oh joy, this is the day, made since the beginning of time. Let us rejoice and be glad in it. They say make your own happiness, so I will. I choose to be happy and am, from here on out. Nothing but blue skies, from now on. This music makes me automatically happy.
I've been waiting to see this collaboration for a long time. Now get Lindsey Stirling, The Harp Twins, and the Gothard Sisters to join you in a PBS special, and my bucket list will be complete. Love you both!👏👏👏😊🎶🎻🎻❤❤👍👍
Too right.
Hell, you might as well add Caitlin De Ville.
Howard Montjoy I’m not familiar with Caitlin, and she doesn’t have long, blond hair.😄
And get Mark O'Connor to ride by on his skateboard.
Two extremely talented ladies bringing joy to our hearts! Fabulous!
beautifully, naturally, raw talent = tooo perfect * amazing
Two talented young beauties! Love watching and listening to you ladies!
schön wie immer Grüße aus Idar-Oberstein
WOW!! Celtic woman meets Cotton Eye Joe love it!!love you!!
Absolutely Beautiful, could listen to this all day!
Dieses Mädchen ist so klug (lol) und das andere ist auch schlau!!!
A dream incredibly come true!! Have so often thought of you & Mairead playing together. Nothing is more natural than the two of you bringing your skills & talents to the same stage together.
Now, can we get Celtic Women to Have the two of you in a guest spot??
Hillary always looks like she's having the time of her life!
Beautiful music played beautifully by two beauties. ‘Nuff said!
There should be way more likes on this. “Love the fiddle”
Vous êtes tout simplement magnifiques...Merci à vous...
Congratulations! A real spectacle!👏👏👏👏👏😁😁😁😁✌✌✌👀👀🇧🇷🇧🇷🎻🎻🎻
Aye tis wonderful l to see you two performing together. CAT danced along.
dielauwen Yay! Tell CAT I said hi!
Молодцы, девчонки!!! Сбацали и сыграли на скрипках великолепно!
🎉❤❤❤🎉
Very well done ladies absolutely love this 👍🏻👍🏻
I am astonished at how well these two music styles blend.
Like, you can definitely tell where one ends and the other begins but the transition is almost SEAMLESS and seems to flow utterly naturally without feeling at all forced.
I also love that two of my favourite Fiddle Artists did a Collaboration. Much love to you both.
because they are related. one grew out of the other. The american style is sort of playful and wild and twangy, where as the Celtic Old World style is more...mature, ancient sounding... haunting even
@@Winaskacouldn't have said it better 👌
very well done and Hillary you look gorgeous in that outfit.
Love for you both, from Valencia, Spain 💗💗
What a beautiful combination of music performed by such amazingly talented ladies. More please!
La música hace poesía y eleva el espíritu...... Pero sólo el alma es poeta. Juan hernan.
Good for you! I have been wondering when you two would collaborate.
You young ladies are fantastic I enjoyed every minute Such talent
I loved Mairead when she played with Celtic woman she to me is a world class violen player. Hillary this is the first time I ever heard you and I enjoyed it and want to hear more from both of you.
Those violins must make hair grow faster. Two beauties playing beautiful music.
She's almost as good as you , You make great music together ❤
jappedut I’m almost as good as her😉
@@HillaryKlug I'd hate to have to live on the difference.
@@HillaryKlug Let's see her play, dance and sing and then we can decide 😀
Have you ever seen her performances with Celtic Woman? She's actually much better but they're both still great.
@@jappedut9009 I don't recall her ever singing but you can see her play and dance with the Celtic Woman multiple times.
Why didn't youtube recommend this to me earlier? I've been missing out for three bloody years! Damn you, algorithm
Bewitched by Mairead for years, and to see someone who can keep up with her and both having so much fun was a true delight. Thank you!
Ahhhh makes my heart sing, thank you so much ladies.
That was an amazing performance with both of you playing together. Love the Celtic/Irish music!
Josh Rodrigues Thanks! I have more Celtic music coming out! Stay tuned!
A beautiful reflection of our shared White culture. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't be proud of who you are or proud of the accomplishments of your people. #itsgreattobewhite #europaunite
Wow, you both together playing. A dream came true. I wish seeing more of that. So wonderful 😘😘
Joerg Lasch We wanna do more! We actually have another video coming out! Stay tuned!
Hillary Klug yay!!!! I can’t wait, I’m so excited!!!!!!!
One has to give it to Hillary she does put the work in and looks like she has fun doing it
The only thing wrong is... They end too soon :( So I watch over n over again!!! Thanks :)
You ladies are amazing thank you very much I enjoyed that 💋💞 love you both forever 💞💋👍🇺🇸😀
I love to hear this kid play, she's right good. Her friend too. Right good.
Three lovely ladies featuring their beautiful swirling hair, joyful spirits, delightful dancing, spectacular smiles, and also perfect fiddling. Can't be better than this.
Three ?
That was fun to watch and the music sounded great, I loved the dualling fiddles section.
It is a different editing style for you though, right? It felt like the sound was recorded in a studio separate from the video? I know that is the way the industry does it, and there is no dispute that this looked much more polished, but please don't forget that a lot of your charm and the expression of your particular skill comes from the live rhythm accompaniment from feet. 😊
I’m a big fan of Mairead. She’s always been the energy booster of the Celtic Woman shows, and a real pleasure to watch and hear. I have never seen her look at her instrument while she performs. She was probably born with it in her hands. These two ladies playing together was a real treat.
Absolutely beautiful! Both of these women completely own the stage.
WOW! I can't express how beautiful and talented you two ladies are!
Seeing and hearing you two play together is a dream. My two favorite fiddlers in the world. Loved this one so much and those amazing smiles!!!
Mairead Nebitt hair reminds me of Sindel in Mortal Kombat 2 😎👍🏾
Is that...Mairead Nesbitt? OMG!!!!!!
Its really nice to see when young people are really into their talent & get such enjoyment out of playing. They are true artists to the music industry.
Could you dance and play Dixie and sing on the fiddle that would be a great video
She has done that. Keep digging on TH-cam and subscribe you will be surprised what you find.
Patriotic American Thant’s a brilliant idea! I’m definitely gonna try that!
American mountain music is a direct descendant of the music of the original Scots-Irish, English and Welsh settlers.
4 words, i loved it all!!!! ;-*
Liam_PxTvArmy Howdy! Thanks so much! Haha! I’ll let him know;)
Good share. Thank you for your kindness. 💓
Gotta say, i never heard of a celtic musician playing a violin before and dancing like this. I'm just in awe, i love it so much, you hillary need more subbers, more likes. Hail from Canada.
Um Kai, Maireid was voted best fiddle in Ireland - and she doesn't think it's dancing - she just lets the music move her. This is very likely a song that came to NC/TN hills from Ireland & got 'bluegrassized'.
Kai Mariead si probably one of the best violin musicians known in the world..Particularly accompanied by he dancing. Go watch almost any of the Celtic Women video's and she is prominently displayed in at least half in not more of them. She is not just good she is tremendous. I liked violen and fiddle before I saw and heard Maread but after seeing and listening to her with Celtic women I was absolutely mesmerized. Please watch Celtic women and you will thank yourself repeatedly.
You two are awesome. You're good together, and good for each other. Thanks for the treat. Happy New Year.
Is simultaneous hair flipping and dancing while fiddling being registered as an Olympic sport yet? I believe we already have the winners.
Their hair is awesome. I wonder how long it took to grow that out...
Mairead looks like a little pixie....
...because she IS one!
You two would’ve made gorgeous she-elves in The Lord Of The Rings.
I told Mairead that exact same thing awhile back. She should've played the Elve Queen in LOTR. I started calling her the "Elve Queen of the Emerald Isle." Would love to see both of them in Elve garb, with pointy Elve ears and hair all done up in Celtic knots!
I watched this again tonight and am still enthralled by the interaction, the dance, and the music of these two beautiful women.
This was adorable and full of Appalachian high spirit
The only difference is our American girl is actually Appalachian mountain clogging a very specific discipline that grounds our girl.
Incrível!!!! Amei. 👏👏👏👏
New❤ good 👍 luck Hillary klug 😮
Mairead is so gorgeous and talented her husband is a lucky man to get to spend time together with her
Same with Hillary.
oh that was just wonderful you got my bones wanting to get up and dance just wonderful
I always dreamed of you two playing together it was wonderful Brazil loves you😍❤❤❤❤❤

Nice nice ladies 👍
Beautiful Celtics ladies! Fantastic music, im sorry I missed the party!
Happy New Year 2020 SWEET Ms.Hillary Klug from Shadyhills Florida, USA. I loved this video, well I guess I love ALL of your videos.P.S. I dont see how your videographer concentrated on video making with ALL of that BEAUTIFUL GORGEOUS HAIR flying around. Hats off to him! he brought us fans right along with you on this trip of a lifetime.
Pure joy watching this..have been a fan of Mairead for a long time. (who wouldn't be)
Really cool - I've watched Mairead many times and lover her playing. Shows how much Celtic influence is in Appalachian music & dance. Great video - thank you for putting it up there.
wonderful , HalLeLuYAH
Two talented ladies full of energy , seen Mairead in action with Celtic Woman. Have just discovered Hillary . Brilliant.❤️
I love you both. The first time I saw Hillary perform I thought, "The Irish is strong in this one." Then I thought she should perform with my all time favorite Violin player Mairead Nesbitt. Now here you are. I am very pleased.
Amazing collaboration Ladies. I have enjoyed Mairead's talents on Celtic Woman and have recently discovered you as well on TH-cam, Hillary.
Who would think there would be such a connection between Irish and Appalachian music? It just shows how related music is all over the world. It's obvious the connection and the love for music you two share. Please do more together. Love it and you two.
Dave
So. Much. BLONDE!!! 😛😛😛
