The Chieftains on Fallon

[@claremc7415]

Could watch this over & over

[@edringo9442]

I was there the night the two male dancers were introduced to the Chieftains, at a bar in Toronto (Dora Keoghs). Somewhere about 2000, there was an impromtu session and the boys just started dancing. Matt Molloy then organized for them to join for the future tours. Nathan and Jon Pilatzke.

So nice post Paddy, the Chieftains assembled for the last time to welcome President Biden to Ballina, Ireland April 2023. Alyth McCormick who sings here did a beautiful Foggy Dew. We shall not see their likes again.

Irish people have Middleast D.N.A. there once was a country called Dan until they went to Isle of man. Just kidding sort of.

[@fairdinkum9454]

……..🙄🤬

[@fairdinkum9454]

Historically dumb 🤣👎🏼

[@stuartirving1741]

To really appreciate this you really need to consume a few pints of guiness

[@gregm3406]

Molloy just kind of blends in with the band now. Not nearly the explosive energy that the bothy band music had. Enjoyable nonetheless
