Most of you have probably seen Natalie MacMaster perform for Cityfolk, either on the Celtic Series or at the Cityfolk Festival. So you know by now that when it comes to fiddling, she's one of the best. But you may not know that her husband Donnell Leahy, who is the leader of the family band "Leahy", is no slouch himself. Put the two of them together on stage, and the music is nothing short of amazing.
You can hear that synergy for yourself at the Victoria Theatre on February 4. Here's a teaser of what you can expect.
In recent years, Natalie MacMaster joined her husband's band Leahy for several performances. This performance of the "Anniversary Waltz" demonstrates how marriage makes MacMaster and Donnell Leahy's fiddles sing in sweet harmony.
Going with the theme...here are MacMaster and Leahy playing the "Wedding Day Jig".
