In Ireland

This album was the beginning of a new phase for The Chieftains which would see many musical collaborations with leading pop and classical musicians. It was accompanied by a documentary and video of the making of the album by the BBC, and followed by a US tour with James Galway, the Hollywood date of which was described as a triumph by ‘Variety’: “Celtic traditionalists The Chieftains and classical flautist James Galway…Galway blended beautifully with the group, participating more as a kind of seventh Chieftain than a featured soloist.”
