Ever since the first time I watched Celtic Woman on PBS I've been in love with Mairead Nesbitt. Her rendition of "The Butterfly" is amazing. Though some have called it all show, she nonetheless expresses the spirit of the Celtic Fiddle as a composite image of beauty, passion and music.

Though one may not call her fiddling sonorous, it like gypsy in my mind reaches back to a time when melody truly tried to express voice, in her case lilt, without bells and whistles. A little martele here and there, and off goes the open mind to her dancing beautiful expression.
