The Chieftains - Ireland's Ambassadors of Celtic Music

In 1963, uillean piper, Paddy Moloney got together with Martin Fay on fiddle and bones, Seán Potts on tin whistle, Micheal Tubridy on flute, and and David Fallon on Bodhran. They recorded and album together entitled, The Chieftains. This album sparked the formation of one of the most prolific Celtic bands in history. The complete cast of characters has changed a number of times, but the incredible music that the band has recorded has just gotten better and better.

The band won several Grammy's and their album, The Long Black Veil went Gold very shortly after its release. And a couple years ago they were officially made Ireland's Ambassadors of traditional Celtic music.
