Men with fiddles haven't done much for me in terms of magnetism. But then, there's Lucy McNeil of the Barra McNeils, a traditional Cape Breton group. Be it the fiddle, the bodrahn, the celtic harp or her voice, I like what I hear and see. I spoke to Lucy and her brothers briefly about a month ago after their recent concert here, but I had to limit my conversation to music-related topics; my real-life significant other was standing by my side.
