‘The Chieftains 4’ was recorded in a single weekend in early 1974 in London, and contained, as well as an ambitious composition ‘The Battle of Aughrim’ from Paddy Moloney, and the harp, played by Derek Bell, which added a new dimension to their music.
Paddy arranged a special lament version of ‘Mneá na heÉreann’ as a tribute to his good friend the late Seeán eÓ Riada.
