Customer Reviews
Sheer Joy!
I've adored Leahy since I stumbled across their first CD, several years ago. AFAIK, this is their first DVD, and I sincerely hope it's the first of many. The DVD presents their first broadcast show for PBS. This family puts on a wonderful show, and the music they make is beyond outstanding. They combine traditional Cape Breton and Irish/Scottish fiddling syles with updated instrumental accompaniment in a way that injects modern vitality into already wonderful traditional musical styles. And Donelle Leahy, their lead fiddler, can't really be quite human! Don't neglect to watch the "additional performances" section of the DVD--it was a crime to cut *any* part of this production from the broadcast.
A great performance DVD from a great group! A+++
I've seen this great group many timnes live, and this DVD does an excellent job of capuring the excitment of their live performance. The addition of the groups videos, not normally seen in the US was a welcome surprise.
Leahy-what talen!!
We saw Leahy several years ago. Finding this DVD brings back that electric concert. Everyone is so talented and the DVD show is what we saw live. It is wonderful to have this. The lively Celtic music, the dancing, the fiddle playing, the piano etc are all fun. I bought two, one to give my daughter who also was fortunate to see them somewhere else. I do recommend seeing them live, but if you can't, this is the next best thing.
