‘The Chieftains 3′ was recorded over just a few days in London’s Air Studios, owned by Beatles’ producer George Martin, using what were at the time pioneering new recording techniques. The album features Pat Kilduff, a professional lilter from Athlone, who had never before ventured outside Westmeath, and The Chieftains delighted in showing him the sights of London in between recording.
