the chieftains & friends - give the fiddler a dram

[bgcomposer]

Great to see the similarity of celtic music and bluegrass. This must have been one incredible concert. This was at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville? Anyone know the date this was taped? Is a DVD available?

Super groupe musical que j'ai découvert cet été au Festival Interceltique de Lorient . A écouter sans modération ! ! ! ! !

If only the Irish would spend a fraction of the energy they use glorifying drink, to glorify their creator.

[ametrine100]

Such a shame that an Irish band with such talent and KNOWLEDGE about british brutality against their own people woud turn their their backs on IRELAND. Shame on you and your QUEEN you TRAITORS.

[1cagey]

@ametrine100 The Chieftains represent the best of Ireland and its' music and have entertained all over the world, even China. If you looked with any savvy you would notice that the accordian player is French or Basque and not English. When not touring, the Chieftains live in Ireland, so please stop posting nonsense.

[TheBoxcar9]

what kind of dancing is the guys and girls doing its sure not irish dancing

[ilspeth99]

[1cagey]

@TheBoxcar9 ... The type of dancing is IRISH .... it is an "Old Style" or Sean Nos (Irish Gaelic) and there are many other examples of same on youtube. I suggest "Step Dancing War" for viewing.

Sean Nos is fun dancing, even tongue in cheek, but is as Irish as can be. Some set dances have parts where the dancers show off their Sean Nos for a few bars of music (e.g. Connemara Set)

The piano (and harp) player has passed on' Go gconai se i Parrthas Na Gras agus beannacht De lena anam.

[theceltictipper]

What's the name of the blonde fiddler that dances at the end? Sorry my bad english...

[zoedaria]

@theceltictipper / Jon Pilatzke and his brother Nathan

Saw the Chieftains twice at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC. The first time I saw them the two men dancing were both playing their violins as they dance. Phenomenal. Will be back at Kennedy Center March 16, 2012 for 50th anniversary tour. I WILL be there. Amazing music, dance and culture! Keep going, Paddy!

[bellben75]

I love this song and just find myself beaming all the was thru it. But especially when the lads come out dancing at 2:15. Ben from Perth

Brilliant stuff Irelands greatest band without a doubt thanks Chieftains for keeping our fantastic culture alive!!

[ivanoech]

I heard the Chieftains and the Chilean group " Inti-Illimani played together. I don't know when or where. If someone had heard about this, please tell me. Thanks very much. I love the Chieftains, I am not Irish my roots are spanish , I don't know if Gallic, Catalan or Basque. It doesn't matter.

[VivaldiPaganini]

Funny moments in IrishGrass!

[kazmanianman]

how 2 people can't like , this is beyond me...fantastic music

[podiumman2]

We see here two contrasting styles of Irish step dancing; first you see the style from Cape Breton in Canada, then the ones in black are dancing in the traditionally Irish way.

[academy3000]

This is the Ryman auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee - :)

[BobHopeKingofChina]

Jaysus, Sean Keane is one fine lump of a man!

[alwise1946]

We saw the Chieftains recently at Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville, AR and they are truly great. The 2 brothers that dance have added a 3rd, a lady who is the wife of one of them.

[johnnyboync1]

i saw the cheiftains with jethro tull a few years ago. the cheiftains opened for tull and, although both bands were great, the cheiftains kicked ass!!

they had the entire crowd on their feet and dancing. what a great time!

[Murindal]

anybody knows where i can see the full version of this song?

[Phethelee]

Hi Murindal, I think the whole concert is featured on "Down the Old Plank Road, the Nashville Sessions". well worth a look.

[Murindal]

Thank you very much!

[Tracy3006]

This video and the one with Tim O'Brien are to of my favorites of my favorites. I'm just a dumb redneck and I don't know these folks, but I could watch them girls dance all day. Love the music too ! If I need a little pick-me-up I can watch this video and walk away feeling better. God bless them all !!!

[skuilibrio]

STANDING OVATION!!!

[MrPantxo]

very good, pantxo from basque country

[bohemiangel]

I think it is the Pilatzke brohters!!! That's the first thing I thought when I saw them. They were teachers at Irish Week at Augusta Heritage in D&E college, Elkins WV. They were awesome!

[TourGuideRoses]

I think it is Jon and Nathan Pilatzke. Jon is in the tie. They are very famous step dancers. I can't be sure, though, because Jon had a beard and mustache now.

[drzzzziggy]

The good Lord must be an irishman and thats comin from a yank. Great Music and dance, Thank You!
