So easy and confident. It is a pleasure to listen to Nancy and James. From where I come from, we learned this song as "Valentine O'Hara". No matter. Great stuff.

[@josephdolinsky8668]

These two are some of the best traditional folk music artists out there these days!

[@nevillelaybourne5610]

Absolutely. Real talent. You have good taste in music.

[@pascalmettey7858]

Fine singing, fine playing, great taste.

[@RexWaldron]

Superb version! Great vocal harmonies in later part of song too.

[@paulcaudell8501]

Huzzah!

[@tomgreene8480]

How come she gets such a lovely tone ...compared to others I won't mention who seem to have a more scratchy enunciation...is it fiddle or technique??

[@colinhesketh4710]

+Tom Greene Technique,,,Wonderful playing.

[@jonberger]

+Tom Greene Technique. Or, as it's also known, "being really good." Any good fiddler can sound at least sort of decent on any instrument (or at least any instrument that's in good enough shape to be in tune), and any incompetent fiddler is going to sound just as bad on any instrument.

[@edeledeledel5490]

I always think that she uses expression to great effect, has a very light and delicate touch, and understands tasteful and complementary accompaniment rather than trying to be the dominant instrument...

[@Doud92]

Can anyone identify the chords he's playing? They sound brilliant but this bloody mic stand is in the way...

[@patrickoconnor3148]

James is very engaging; contact him on Facebook and he'll be happy to share

[@trackhorse9028]

Gold. . . "ready" or "ruddy"? I prefer the latter.
