The entertainment world is filled with extraordinary stories. But few match the beguiling true-life tale of Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy, Canada’s reigning couple of Celtic music, whose dazzling career achievements underpin an incomparable off-stage life.
Natalie MacMaster is a Canadian folk musician who started playing the fiddle at the age of 9. Natalie is a musician who has toured with various artists and bands and has released a few albums with her husband, Donnell Leahy.
One of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia’s most important exports and a superstar in the Celtic music world (though she’s far too humble to admit it), fiddler and step-dancer Natalie MacMaster has built a sterling, multi-decade career on electrifying playing and must-see live performances.

SHE'S DESTRYOING THE PIANO!!!! Mary Frances shouldn't have been dancing on the top off the piano, you're not supposed to dance on top of the piano, you're supposed to dance to the music it makes. The top of the piano was all scratched up. She had no regargd for the people who worked to create the piano. to the people who created it in the store, to the people who worked hard to paint it. The top has been destroyed for no good reason at all, other than the fact that it looks good to see someone dance on top of the piano, I guess, it doesn't look good to me, it looks like an act of vandalism to me. This girl's parents must have spoiled her rotten to let her destroy a fine work of art like this piano. I hope her parents own it, or at the very least make Mary Frances pay for the damage she's caused, up to and including buying a new piano.
I go to one East Coast bar In Alberta and then i get homesick. Music always helps with this. Natalie MacMaster,Rita McNeil, Ashley MacIsaac were common names all across Cape Breton Island. This was very uplifting for me.
Great! I hear another instrument not seen in the video - electric guitar. I'm grazing around on RU-vid to decide if I'll go to Celtic Colours next month, October 2023.
