Founded by Paddy Maloney in 1962, The Chieftains were one of the first bands to popularize Irish traditional music around the world and today their status as one of the finest Irish bands of all time remains unchallenged. They have received awards from around the world including 6 Grammys and an Emmy and worked alongside some of the greatest names in pop, classical and folk music. This superb concert from Montreux features the classic line-up in a blend of song, music and dance that draws from the Irish tradition but encompasses influences as disparate as Galicia and the Rolling Stones.Led by Paddy Moloney on uilleann pipes and tin whistle, the Irish band The Chieftains have won over worldwide audiences with their spirited take on traditional Celtic music. The Chieftains are captured live in concert with this appearance at the 1997 Montreux music festival, offering lively renditions of 'Donegal Reel', 'Carrickfergus', and 'Murphy's Hornpipe and Dance'.
