Q&A: About my beauty, Alestorm, favourite composers and people that want to marry me.

[@makarabaduk1754]

I have this lovely image of collaborations being "Quick, we need a hurdy gurdyist - turn on the Pat Signal" and the clouds over Germany getting lit up.

**Not a marriage comment** but you doing these videos is like sitting down with a best friend :) very natural and very friendly :)

[@bunnlose]

i agree, this was very heartfelt =)

[@Jr-fl7ym]

If she's looking for marriage oh dang 😉😅 she's just jaded

[@jonasfknf]

That makes her less lesbian?

[@ravencrestmedia]

When a talented musician like yourself has grace, an inviting personality, an adorable accent, a wonderful smile, amazing eyes, expect to have many comments. Your approach to them is remarkable. Just be certain to not allow overtly crude remarks. There is a line between fun and inappropriate. Keep making incredible content. You have an incredible gift. Thank you for sharing

I like the way you responded to the question about your physical beauty. I think you handled that very well. Keep up the good work, and keep being such a great personality. I love that there are wholesome people like you out there

[@Daelyah]

Milady, you are a crimson-haired German bard who's an utter sweetheart and delight to behold; you are Queen tier among SO MANY people's standards! 💖👸 That being said, I am just happy to see you performing and living your best life...I've seen your recent videos about the troubles you've going through, but I know you'll be able to overcome them. You're an incredible person with a lot of support from friends, family and fans, and in time life will sort itself out for you. Much love from upstate NY ✌🥰

[@grimgaro]

It is nice when you make videos like this that talk about yourself and things your fans are curious about. It curbs those faux fantasies that some create when they don't truly know a person. It is a good reminder that you're just a person like the rest of us. Going through some of the same things as many others, and life with it's individualized ups and downs. I hope with your exceptional talent and influence, that it will help shape the path for others to be the best versions of themselves. Your music for me, inspires me to be a better me, which gives me great appreciation for the work you do. I look forward to all your upcoming releases, and hopefully something again with Faun someday. Thank you for sharing more about yourself.

[@WayneAlexander]

Awesome Q and A! I could literally listen to you talk for hours on end....such a soothing relaxing voice. You are an incredible talent and glad you are getting more and more famous! I really want to see you live in the US if we can ever get over Covid and back to normal one day.

[@arokh72]

Nice and short QandA there Patty. Glad to see you're doing reasonably well, though being lucky enough to live in my part of Australia, I've not had a lockdown to worry about, so I have no idea what effect that could be having. Hope to see you out here one day, when allowed, and not in one of our crappy cities but in our wonderful regional areas.

[@kternma7475]

About your costumes: my all time favorite is, that red dress you used in the Yule fiddler. It looks absolutely stunning

[@diamondflaw]

I’m delighted you are a wonderful creative role model for my daughters, they love your music!

[@thedarkmonarch]

Zombies Ate My Pirate ship for a long time was my favorite Alestorm song, so I've been patiently waiting for another collab. It was great hearing you in Voyage of the Dead Marauder. Hope you come on tour in the USA! If so, I'll be there at the April 10th concert.

[@williamhardway6436]

"i woke up like this" just naturally gorgeous. And the costumes are fun.

Your outfits in your videos are always outstanding! Grieve No More in particular, just, so perfect. There's probably loads of costuming people who would love to work with you if you put the word out there.

[@Blackpheonix99]

Of course hell my wife wants to marry you too lol

[@abaddonlannister6573]

Honestly what i like the most about you and i think is probably what creates that magnetism of yours is how you keep your humanity you don't let it go your head and just how sweet you are like when you took the time to answer and have a discussion with me, a perfect stranger fan, casually, just like you were talking to a friend..... i will never forget that kindness 🙂

[@OrderOfOmphalos]

While your work with Carnival Row brought you fans that haven't heard you yet, my wife and I watched Carnival Row because of you. 😁❤

[@mrstijntje]

Or woman, who knows really!

[@XperimentorEES]

To be fair, green eyes and red hair is one of the rarest combinations out there, and you got a melodious voice to match! Though I'd never heard of a hurdy-gurdy before, so it's been interesting seeing how you built one and tune them for such a variety of songs.

[@elfenscheisse]

well, i think the red hair is fake ...

[@mjpete27]

Enchanting is my first thought and comment! Your music and grace belies your age! Thank you for sharing a small part of your life with us, also thanks to your supporters on every platform. You have done wonderful work with your songs and videos. I say thank you! Please take care and be safe over there. See you next video or appearance when we can finally get together in a gathering.

[@GMell123]

Hello Patty, new fan here. Got introduced to the hurdy gurdy in a college music history class, looked it up on KZbin, and ended up landing in your solo video of The Longing. First time hearing it, and I thought, “Wow. Now this would sound phenomenal with a full on metal.” Almost immediately after thinking that, I found the song played by you and Storm Seeker. Like I thought, PHENOMENAL! Also, your rendition of Molly Malone? What are the words for it? Hauntingly amazing. Keep music like that a coming, lady! Also, I like how you responded to that lockdown comment. Story of just about everyone’s lives.

[@saphirademon7757]

The song with d'artagnan was so awesome. I love the sound of the hurdy gurdy because i've heard the sound since I was very small. We play lots of irish music at home with flute and harp and i really want to learn Hurdy Gurdy too but it is very hard to find a teacher for this instrument because it is not so common anymore. That is very sad. I love to hear you music :) Have a nice day ^^

[@Sonnenanbeterin1991]

And its expensive sadly.. maby for the beginning there are often workshops on medival festivals and maby there you can get connection

Hi Patty, I know you get swathes of comments to look through, but just wanted to say thanks for your fantastic music. Kalte Winde is a big part of why I've started to learn German over the lockdown, almost at a full year of self studying! My grammar and sentence structure still needs so much work though. Ich liebe deine Musik sehr! :D Haben Sie einen schöne Tag!

[@WarpFactor999]

Patty, you are a very smart, natural beauty with a wonderful voice. The gurdy is nice but it's not what sells the package. I've only been married 44 years, but would still love to just give you a big hug for all the wonderful music you've made for us, your loyal fans. And, I love your accent!!!! Please, more music along the lines of your Christmas song!

[@vat_1989]

[@michaelhgravesjr9608]

Man, I may not want to marry you (I'm already head over heels in love with the most incredible woman in the world, and somehow fortunate enough that she loves me back), but I'd kill to have you play at my wedding; LOVE your rendition of Over the Hills and Far Away, and your original music is great! Plus, the fact that you appreciate Jim Steinman as a composer is a sign of having the most refined of musical taste. 😁

Its understandable, just look at yourself. Your multi talented, very friendly, also really caring. From what I have seen. You often place others needs before your own.

Ha, hab dich durch deine Beteiligung bei Alestorm gefunden, ziemlich lustig eine deutsche Musikerin bei Alestorm zu finden die im Video so heftig abgeht (Bewegungs-mäßig) und dann in ihren eigenen Videos so ruhig ist^^ Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass du ruhig längere Q&A Videos machen kannst, die sind für die Fans immer sehr gern gesehen und informativ und die Länge ist eher sekundär.

[@Wotan-Born]

I’ve got a question about your song Safe and Sound.. You reference consciousness, expansion, dark night as an entity, as well as the spiral which seems like a reference to the golden ration, as well as life lessons and how we seem to continually spiral into the same lessons until we learn them. To me, the Safe and Sound in this song is speaking of Source Consciousness or The Prime Infinite Creator and that even though our current life/incarnation is impermanent and temporal we are safe, protected and guided by an infinite love.... anyways, I dig this tune very much, and I super appreciate your soul🙏🏽♾💚 Namaste

I didn‘t read any actual question in your text, but I totall agree with you! That‘s one way to put it, and it is probably my most spiritual song.
