Circa Paleo - The Kiss (The Gael) @ Renaissance Pleasure Faire, Irwindale

This was my first Ren Faire, and what a pleasant surprise that Circa Paleo was there! I had just found out about this music group about a week before the Faire, while looking for videos of live performances of "The Gael", and Circa Paleo's videos showed up.
The group members are all very talented and friendly; not only did I get a beautiful treat for my ears, they all kindly met me after the performance and autographed my album! :) It was a pleasure to meet them all!
I wish the recording was done better. I unfortunately don't have a proper camera, so this was recorded on my Samsung Galaxy II. Oh well, I suppose it could have been worse!
This song is called "The Kiss"; originally titled "The Gael" and composed by Dougie MacLean, this tune was immortalized when it was adopted for use in the classic film "The Last of the Mohicans", and remains one of my all-time favorites!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Remember to check out Circa Paleo's website and give them your adoration and support!

Jenny is my violin teacher and she is the absolute best instructor on the instrument. Highly recommended! She has an excellent online school.

[@albertfiger6139]

Been friends with them for over 15 years.....Great band...Great people.

[@robertlove2168]

Are they still performing? Are they back in Texas. I have 3 CDs but it would be great to see them live.

[@dalspartan]

[@keitharoo1962]

Every time she plays that song, she puts so much feeling into it. Awesome!!!

I have listened to her perform this song 1000 times, and each & every time it is perfection 👍🏻

[@LeonardPetrucci]

I do not get tired of hearing this beautiful piece, it is very soothing and calming.

[@FyremaelGlittersparkle]

35 seconds in and I got full-body goosebumps! This is an amazing version of a piece I never get tired of hearing,

[@phillipmcduffie9353]

❤ Jenny O'Connor ❤ Talent, knowledge of the music, lots and lots of practice, dedication to the craft, big heart, youth helps. ❤ Jenny has it all ... and then some. I have enjoyed this music and video for years now, thanks to KZbin. And I come back often. Notifications on !

[@jamesrussell7760]

I supposed I have listened to Jenny O'Conner play "The Gael" dozens of times on her violin (accompanied with her talented fellow musicians) and every time, without fail, it raises goose bumps on my skin. I have also heard other musicians play the song, but her rendition is special. The only other comparable rendition, to my ear, is that by the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards, but perhaps that is because of my Scottish ancestry! But, my dog doesn't appreciate the bagpipes!

[@adiosgringo8200]

The world is grateful that she shares her gift with all of us. Thank you again and again.

[@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244]

I took part in the original, California Renaissance Pleasure Faire for 20 years beginning in 1978, and I don't know why they bother calling it a "Renaissance Faire" anymore. It should be called a Fantasy Faire. But I'm grateful that at least the proper credit is given to Dougie MacLean on his video.

[@kennethhowell5291]

Does that group give meaning to music or what! They just take your heart!

[@Dan-zb7vn]

I think that when she retires the world will have lost probably the best violinist of our time, she is so good that she makes it look effortless.

[@manuelparker5668]

beautiful, brings tears to my eyes...love last of the Mohicans

[@MFM230]

I love this piece and the melodies of Last of the Mohicans but the sound track was a disappointment with the electronic music instead of instruments.

[@Erlisch1337]

HNNNNNNNNG those abs in this high quality HNNNNNNNG. We need more of these performances in this quality!

[@sobek]

agree...the ideal body

[@jamesmziegler]

For her to start so late in life and become a professional violinist - we just don't often see that. The proof is in the sound 🎶🎵🎶

[@jakedamon11]

All the comments on her looks, The woman's talent blows me away. cant find a better version anywhere

[@jimmyrichardson67]

Too right

Oh please, who do you think you're kidding.

[@Giles29]

She must be able to play this song from memory by now for sure

[@itsruf1]

You can actually. And those have real Irish instruments. No video content of your own?

[@adder80]

Oh man why did I get choked up listening to this??? I didn't really watch the vid, she plays masterfully though. I found my mind playing through the image of Hawkeye, his father and brother running up the mountain path... a song of battle, blood spilled, and forever heart ache. I need to rewatch this movie ASAP.

[@thegt3clickcrash329]

Yes , best part of that movie. The father sees his son killed , Alice leaps to her death to be with Hawk , Magua finally gets what’s coming to him.
