Probably of no interest to you guys, but Paddy Moloney, founder of Irish trad supergroup The Chieftains died today.

I was aware of the Chieftains, actually. I think I even saw them on Saturday Night Live way back when. They were around for a good while, weren't they?

I'm glad they mentioned his work at Claddagh
because it's a great label - right up there with Topic - that advanced many a great Irish bands. The first Chieftains album came out on that label a few years before Moloney worked full time for them. I think the label is still located in the Temple Bar area of the city. At least that's what I remember from 2004. There's a bittersweet story of Frank Zappa's recording session in February of '93 - about 9 months before his death - with The Chieftains and Tom Jones when he had to excuse himself from the session because of his battle with prostate cancer. Sixty years of The Chieftains! What a glorious ride! (He died yesterday, actually). Last edited by rostasi; 10-12-2021 at 12:43 PM. |

And proud of it. Though I doubt Daniel O'Donnell could handle a whisky...

In case people aren't aware of his stature, not just as a musician, and not just in Ireland: The Chieftans made many collaborative albums with other folk musicians from France, Spain, Mexico, as well as the big-name stars mentioned in this short "videobituary", if that's a word yet:-
