I think also the older ones are the worth listening stuff and actually relly great records. By the way, does anyone know what happened to Sean Potts and Michael Tubridy? I really liked the Chieftains when they got these guys and before Molloy/Coneff joined in. Sean Potts is IMHO one of the greatest whistlers and made me start to play whistle in the first place.
So do you know have these guys (Potts, Tubridy) done any music after 70’s?
I’ve heard Potts and Turbridy just went on do do other stuff in life. I think one of them went into engineering or something. Not sure. Something of the sort.
The only Chieftain album I have, and I got it almost 10years ago (so, one of my first trad-albums) is Chieftain9-boil the breakfast early. I don’t listen to it too often anymore, but I still find it very good.

Hmmm…there seem to be a lot of slow airs on Chieftain2. Is it a good buy? I love slow airs.
wow, you must have started playing when you were 2!!
started playing music when i was 3, started the harp when i was 7. the link to the celtic harp cd has a link in it of the Chieftains playing with the Belfast Harp Orchestra - i think that’s carnegie concert. i’m the tiny little dude hunched over the harp in the front right!!!
i was just very lucky to be in the group and the chieftains wanted us to do a few concerts with them.
ps. i’d no idea there where so many chieftains albums. sorry for my ignorance.
ah amar, there was no need for that!!! i think i probably should’ve had a smaller harp and stool or something, the harp’s bloody bigger than me!!
