Publisher Notes
The history of the Chieftains over the last 35 years is the history of Irish music, and the story of how an unlikely group of enthusiast came together to rescue some of the world's most beautiful music from near-extinction, brought it to an audience of millions, and became acclaimed stars. Based on exclusive and extensive interviews with all the band's members, their families and friends, and with many of the international superstars who have recorded with them, this intimate and comprehensive history tells their own story of the first time, with insight, wit and charm.
Media Reviews
"Though he offers little to the uninitiated, Glatt has written an indispensable chronicle for the casual listener, the die-hard fan, and all levels in between."
