Accomplished rock to the accompaniment of electric guitar, Clark also performs in a traditional mode. She played Hitra Norway in 2008 and performed the popularized Irish song "Whiskey in the Jar" at Hopsjo Brygga II with guitarist Shane Donnelly. [1] As readily observable in the clip, she has a very animated style particularly with regard to her bow which at times attacks the strings with a rocker's abandon. Note also the tempo increase as the tune draws to a close - a pop characteristic contrary to traditional Irish playing. [citation needed]
