Did you know…

These masters of the fiddle have been married since 2002 and have three young children.

Both Natalie and Donnell also have wildly successful musical careers in their own right. Natalie has her own band and Donnell’s family band – Leahy – is made up of himself, his three brothers and four sisters.

Natalie is one of the best-known musicians in the tradition of Cape Breton fiddle music, and has made a highly successful career as a touring musician, traveling to Europe and Asia and doing as many as 250 shows in a year.

Together, Donnell and Natalie have a collection of 15 fiddles; each with their own story.

Natalie began playing the fiddle at the age of 9, and made her performing debut the same year at a square dance in Glencoe Mills, Nova Scotia. When she was 16, she released her first album, Four on the Floor, and a second album, Road to the Isle, followed in 1991.

In February 2009 Natalie and Donnell welcomed their third child into the world, daughter Clare Marie.
