The Chieftains at Riverbend Centre - NEW!
Wednesday, February 26, $92 pp
Depart SCPL 6:30 p.m.; Return 10:30 p.m.
Celtic music fans – this one is for
you! The Chieftains is a traditional Irish
band formed in Dublin in 1962 by Paddy Mo-
loney, Sean Potts and Michael Tubridy. First
rehearsals were held at Moloney’s house with Tubridy, Martin
Fay and David Fallon. Their sound, which is almost entirely
instrumental and largely built around uilleann pipes, has be-
come synonymous with traditional Irishmusic, and they helped
popularize Irish music around the world.
The group continued to release successful records throughout
the 1970s and 1980s, and their work resulted in the critically
acclaimed album
Irish Heartbeat
. They have collaborated with
many other well-known musicians and singers including Pa-
varotti, the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Sinéad O’Connor and
Roger Daltrey. The band has won six Grammys and received
a Lifetime Achievement Award at the prestigious BBC Radio
2 Folk Awards in 2002. Some music experts have credited The
Chieftains with bringing traditional Irishmusic to a world-wide
audience, so much so that the Irish government awarded them
the honorary title of Ireland’s Musical Ambassadors in 1989. In
2012, they celebrated their 50th anniversary with the release
of their most recent record,
Voice of Ages
.
Ticket cost includes transportation and concert ticket.
