The Chieftains's Biography
The enduring lineup of Ireland’s Chieftains, which coalesced for the recording of their fourth album in 1973 (about ten years after their creation) comprised founding member Paddy Moloney on Uilleann pipes, tin whistle and accordion, Sean Potts on the tin whistle, fiddler Martin Fay, Mick Tubridy on flute and concertina, Kevin Conneff on bodhrán (the hand-held drum) and occasional vocals, and the beloved Derek Bell on harp, oboe and timpan (who passed away in 2003). The Chieftains’ traditional instrumentation built them a worldwide audience, and won them six Grammy Awards, two gold records, an Academy Award, and the respect of fellow musicians everywhere from Spain and France, to Nashville and China. This collection reaches back to their debut album of 1965, released in the U.S. for the first time in 1977 on Columbia, the label that ultimately reissued the first nine Chieftains albums over the next three years. They spent virtually the entire ’80s on Shanachie Records in the U.S., including such landmark international releases as The Year Of The French and the live album The Chieftains In China.
