      Damnit.
      Glad I was able to see them for the last few minutes of that concert back in 1993. All my friends listened to nirvana. I found the Chieftains.
      RIP Paddy. You gave this young teen something more uplifting than the dreck and misery that surrounded me, and has stayed with me all these years.

    Patty Maloney inspired me to learn the tin whistle, and also the pipes... This show was the first time I SAW someone play a bagpipe, although I was eventually taught to play the GHB, I'd still love to learn to Uilleann pipes someday. Such a lovely octopus.

    We had finished our duty and were making our way through Dublin Airport Terminal , to our hotel. The PA system in the terminal was fantastic, so lifelike, as I recognised the music of the Chieftains. Then I heard the applause !! Following the sound, I unwittingly walked around a corner to find myself staring at the audience and just one front row seat left :). Over my right shoulder were the Chieftains. In full uniform , trying not to look shocked, I took my seat, ( I took my hat off ) and thoroughly enjoyed the inaugural Boil the Breakfast Early concert . It was fantastic.
    Now I’m going to watch this video again.

    RIP Paddy Maloney, I missed his death. I live in France, so it's not too surprising. IMO, Paddy was the best of the pipers. And I've seen Seamus Ennis play at the Royal Albert Hall... I've followed the Chieftains since legendary British DJ John Peel started playing their music in the early 70's.

    The first song, one of my favorites of the Chieftains. I saw them play in their prime in Berkley, CA in the very early 80's I'll never forget it. I rarely give a standing ovation, because like with tipping, with me, you have to earn it. They earn it to the max!

    Fell in love with the Chieftans when I checked out a record from Atlanta Public Library in the '70's. Still listening to them, I expanded my music over the years and became familiar with more than just my family's Irish side. I went to their concerts and my friends' son played with them on his fiddle and concertina once. Did they break up after Derek's death? I know a priest who looks a lot like Paddy. I doubt if he knows how to play bagpipes.
