During a world tour celebrating 50 years as one of the most celebrated traditional Irish bands in history, The Chieftains stopped by WGBH's Fraser Studio to share some tunes and have a few beers with fans and members of the WGBH Celtic Club. - Hudba
RIP Paddy Moloney. Thanks for all the music.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
God bless us

Heartbroken to hear of Paddy Maloney’s passing yesterday…💔
What? He died?! There’s no way he died.. Google says he’s 92, that’s not even that old at least almost close to 99 years ( I mean, sure some people die at the age of 92, I mean the second queen of England died at like 96)
Respect to the chieftains
Glorious. Paddy Moloney, our loss is Heaven's gain.
Well said.
Amen!

United and Free Ireland !!!! From Galiza, the southern celtic ancient land, strong hugs !! ❤
Thank you Paddy, for bringing brightness and happiness to our lives, you will be missed.
But your light will shine forever.
This news brought me to tears, wonderful man and musician. May you rest in peace Paddy, thoughts with your family & friends.
I first saw the chieftains and James Galway in Ireland on St Patrick's day 1987,and I have been their biggest fan ever since.i at one time 35 of their lps on tape and I have many favorite tunes of theirs.but like all good things they can't last forever! Dave Howard

I was so shocked by the sudden death of Maestro in music, Mr. Paddy Moloney. Condolence.
Thank you so much for the greatest music performances...

My sister got us tickets at the Fine Arts Center at Umass for St. Patrick’s Day performance. Unforgettable!
RIP Paddy... Thank you for the music and all you have done for Irish Traditional Music
This is magic on so many levels. When the dancers come out, it's just over the top!
Rest In Peace Paddy.......And thanks for Decades of collaborations with musicians from all of our World.
I had the pleasure of seeing The Chieftains many times on their tours to Chicago. Paddy was generally the spokesperson, giving background on the music and instruments.
Absolutely brilliant. These guys were amongst my favourites fifty years ago, and the music's still fresh! They had it all - pipes, fiddles, harp, bodhrán, harp - and the dancers!
I've included this in a playlist "Classic British Folk" and, before anyone complains, I mean "British" in it's broadest sense, as it is to include Brittany, all the British Isles and north-western Spain. They share a musical culture from before England became England.
Your definitely not from Ireland 🤣
No - Lancashire, but I emigrated and am living in Scotland now @@jamie2186
Farewell Paddy Moloney. Slan Abhaile. Thank you ever so much for being amongst those for bringing the beauty and richness of our culture to the world, as a mixed-race person of partial Irish descent, your band's music was so influential in paving the way to my appreciation and understanding of my place amongst the Irish diaspora.Thank you, I'm deeply and forever grateful.
RIP Paddy, thank you from Basque Country! ❤
Paddy Moloney always loved to *bring the music* to everyone....everywhere. *RIP Paddy.*
Boy how I would have loved to be in the audience that night. The step dancing is amazing to make the music even more exciting.
I always loved it when Paddy would do the vocal “chants” during a piece. I could never get over how such a strong, low sound came from a fairly diminutive man. What an amazing, gifted composer and musician. He could make those Uilleann pipes sing like a bird. If you’ve never seen the PBS Series “The Long Journey Home - The Irish in America” I highly recommend it. Some episodes are up on CZcams. Paddy, the Chieftains and Guests (Sinead O’Connor, Elvis Costello, etc) did all the music, which is sweeping and heartbreaking. RIP Paddy, and Thank you for bringing the soul of Ireland around the world, and sharing it with all of us. 🇮🇪🇨🇦
Godspeed Paddy Moloney and thanks for your music.
Good Morning James...Thanks NYPD
Put a smile on my face and banished thoughts of pandemics for a little while!
BANISH MISFORTUNE!
How the heck can someone dislike this????(even if you are deaf,blind and soulless you have no reason to do it.......)
"A Celtic Soujourn" on wgbh was the beginning of my traditional Irish journey
My favourite band of all time
The March of the King of Laois., I play this on my GHB's all the time. Reminds me of hiking in the White Mountains with my wife.
RIP Paddy Moloney, you are in God's kingdom! 👑
God bless sean o'riada, without him the Chieftains would never have been.
beautiful
The song that starts at around 3:00 minutes is the Chieftains upbeat version of The Nine Points of Roguery (made popular by Boys of the Lough - but not sure if they composed it). Jon Pilatzke is the Chieftains' lead fiddle player who also comes forward to dance as the reel progresses. The other guy dancing is his brother Nathan. Both brothers are part of the Canadian band Step Crew, created by Jon and Nathan, and Cara Butler, who joins them dancing. Cara is the younger sister of Jean Butler (of Riverdance fame). Now you know 🙂.
Ottawa valley boys!
👍👍
Who is the other fiddle player seated? The blonde woman?
@@WR105ProfWhen you said blond I had to take a look thinking it might be Natalie McMaster, but it isn’t her. I did see her play with The Chieftains on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno years ago. I’ve seen her in concert and she’s awesome, and it was cool seeing a Scottish style fiddler from Cape Breton playing with a great Irish band on TV!
@@patrickdaly5068 Thanks. I did a little more research and discovered she is a Nashville musician named Deanie Richardson.
Saw them in State College PA.
The humorous remarks between songs were as entertaining as the music. Made for a great night
Wow I went there too!! To the school AND thee show.
Do you remember if they were in State College at least twice?

Ah! The Nine Points Of Roguery! Such a great name for a tune.
Great to see Paddy Maloney still leading this band, with this new lineup. I played fiddle in a band that opened for them on a US tour in '79. I remember the grand Sean Keane, and the sweet airs of Martin Fay, the two fiddlers at that time. The Chieftains, the Boys of the Lough, and the Bothy band were the popular and influential Celtic bands at the time. Go see Paddy and others jamming with, or for, Frank Zappa, shortly before his death. The Chieftains have had a remarkable career and played with an impressive list of artists. Brilliant.
Paddy Maloney will be sadly missed. A great pipes player and ambassador for the traditional music of Ireland.
Paddy Maloney was a great Celtic musician,,but never played the real Bagpipes.He used a smaller version played by hand!!!
beautiful music as close to nature as anything that ever I have heard
My glass was raised
Matt Molloy's flute sound is to die for
I think you mean Paddy °°
Paddy Maloney plays pipes. Matt Molloy is the flute player.
With some Canadian step-dancing, completes the medley!
Givin' it socks!!!!!!!! Brilliant!
Forever shall the chieftains reign
Heck yeah they will thanks to technology. Can you imagine all the musicians since the beginning of time that never got recorded? It truly is a golden era of humanity right now. I'm so thankful to be here in this time.
Brian Crehan Like beauty being in the eye of the beholder, music is in the ear of the listener! If you don't like it, don't listen. Judge not less you yourself be judged. Let us hear your music so we can likewise judge you!!!!

@@briancrehan9757 We'll see how well you play when you're 80 years old.
Well said.
"SLANGAH" Back in the mid-1990's I was invited to one of my Co-Worker's Wedding in Malibu, Ca. Her Husband-To-Be is Irish, and he was Close Friend's of the "Chieften's" and they were invited, too. What a wounderful night we All had, "Slangah" to them All.
Rest in peace, greatest of the Bards!
In the lands that I came from many Chieftains have rained and ruled for thousands of years but they could not compete with the king of all Chieftans Paddy Moloney and his fellow band member Chieftains past and present and his band of fellow musicians,, dancers, singers, poets and storytellers. Paddy has now left town and is playing in a new club in a place called Kingdom Hall which is in the first town you pass through after you drive through Heaven's gate, Paddys gone but his songs, stories and music will last forevermore
It's amazing how paddy had the same teacher as Willy Clancy, Liam O'Flynn and Gay Mckeon yet those three are such phenomenal pipers...
Reminds me of the music id listen to with my grandad god rest his soul when i was a child as he would have the traditional music playing in the house
All that's great about our country, we will be United in all one day
The sound recording is top notch excellant
Another great who has passed on and whose talent so outshines the crop of so-called Country Stars of today it is unfathomable.
The Chieftains helped me fall in love Irish traditional Music and I play my flutes along with them on my collections of there cds Love you guys TWEET
I've been in love with Irish music since I was born...You may like some of ancient Irish Trad on my channel...
I have also loved the Chieftain's, especially when there are Irish step dancers involved🙂
Try my best to do the same with a bodhran
God bless you Paddy ! Heaven needs another piper !
The angels are sure to be dancing tonight Tom!
Seen them in New Zealand twice , fantastic! This folks is Irish music.
Very proud to say I visited Ireland in April 2004, and love this music.
The door is always open Bill.
Very nice of you from Ireland
I love you so much. My son when he was just a kid turned me on to the Chieftains. :)
What a grand treat to see and listen to the Chieftains. Would have loved to see them in person. Did have the great joy of seeing the step dancers in person at Brian's Celtic Sojourn. WOW!!!!!
Oh My God, I haven't had this big of a smile in over a year! Thanks you for posting this.
The island born sons and daughters disclaim me, as I am U.S. born, but my mind and heart still dream in Irish.
David,,sure we love anyone if they drink Guinness, and we welcome u,to join us here in Ireland.stay safe .xxx
A great band, with great music.
My husband and I enjoyed your concert in Kalamazoo very much! I don't know how it's possible that you are celebrating 57 years. You certainly aren't old enough.
These guys are so great they can parody themselves and no one would know except me...Wait a second, these guys
Fantastic you all.
The Chieftains are the very best of all.
Rousing!!!! They give it their ALL every time they perform. Always fresh and exciting. Thank you Chieftains for decades of top shelf music 🎶
Wonderful piece, and you can see the passion in it all. But most of all I love the first guy dancing, the one with the tie. He's brilliant, really puts his all into it, flawless with it, but at the same time manages to look like every dad, ever, all rolled into one and dancing, makes me smile every time I see him!
One of my all time favorite pieces of music.
This is very happy music. What an amazing sound. Also the step dancing is awesome. I love when they sing. Their music will live fore ever.
Lovely!
Beautiful ! Wish all humans could get the beauty of this ! ❤
WGBH Music has passed 100,000+ views! Thanks for watching and big thanks to everyone who has subscribed!!
FABULOUS from a humble tin whistle player
This - is one of my favorite parts about being human. 🍎❤️💋🎼🍺🥃🍀
After hearing this I feel like dancing a jig.
Lovely! 55 years playing together this year! Congrats guys!
Sorry to be a bit pedantic, but none of those musicians have been playing together for 55 years. Paddy Moloney is the only original "Chieftain" there. That particular line up, I would think is less than 10 years old. Still making great music though.
@@douglashadden2172 Were Sean Keane and Mick Tubridy there and another fiddler Martin......? there?
@@tomgreene6579 Sorry, I'm not understanding you here. "Were Sean Keane and Mick Tubridy" where ? "Chieftains" first LP record was recorded in 1963, with Paddy Moloney, Michael Tubridy, Martin Fay [ fiddle ], Sean Potts [ whistle ] and David Fallon [ bodhran ], if that's what you meant.
@@douglashadden2172 You have answered my query thanks...can put a face on those fellows now. Did not know any of them , but may have met Sean Potts at Fleadh in Thurles...he was I think in the company of Vincent Broderick , but that's over 60 years ago now.
In the mid-'90's, my wife and I attended a wedding for one my Nurse's, that i supervise, in Malibu, Ca. Her husband, being Irish, was a close friend to the "Chieftains" they were invited, too and Stayed and Played, the whole night and kept us "yanks" quite happy. It was also the same night, that the "World Cup Soccer" Match, between Ireland and Mexico was played in Los Angeles and Ireland Won.
My favorite band...AWESOME!!!
50 years Irish music
Always a joy to look at and listen to.
Oh bl**dy mnarvellous!! I'd have LOVED to have been there. Thank you guys and Lass :) :)
Wow. Just.... wow. How can this have only 2.4 k likes?
Ahh,that's the good stuff!!
Love this, what a great band.RIP Paddy.
RIP Derek, Martin, Sean, Paddy. Sean was one of teachers, and that's the point --these gentlemen (and many others) ensured this music would forever be, by teaching it, by playing it. What a gift!
popular music always open ours souls, dear Paddy.
Wonderful to listen to and look at.
Irish traditional music has lost a giant. A chieftain in every respect.
In Galiza we shout to pipers, GAITEIRO!! as an honorific. May you rest in glory, GAITEIRO!!!!!!

RIP..Paddy..You.are.the.legend
The times over the decades I have been skipping and dancing to the many, many times of watching them play beautiful music a few feet from me and entranced all the time of it.
Grazie, Paddy. Ti voglio bene.
Rest in peace, paddy
Grazie Paddy! ❤️
Them boys make me proud to be Irish xxx
