Yes, the Chieftains are great – I especially enjoy their "Water From the Well" album. But better avoid "Tears Of Stone" if you aren't enamoured of sweet-voiced Celtic fairies who need over six minutes to get through Danny Boy... :lol:

One of my favourite bands. Very talented lot indeed. :)
Derek Bell was my favourite in the band,. A real story teller and a great man! Lovely in every way, may he rest in peace.

Typos corrected.

A typo in each word of a two word sentence. I'm impressed. Really. That's a 100% error rate. That takes some level of determination.

I think The Chieftains are amazing musicians. Unfortunately they have a tendency to favor fairly tedious arrangements of traditional tunes.

I've really enjoyed their <i>Boil the Breakfast Early</i>. I've really enjoyed their Van Morrison collaboration <i>Irish Ways</i>. I've been barely able to tolerate their <i>Long Black Veil</i>, and I can't stand their Christmas offering of <i>The Bells of Dublin</i>. I'm sure there are others that I have Irishman-like opinions about, but I can't think of them at this moment.

Wow. You sure showed me. I was wrong, so very wrong, for making fun of Irishman's typos. I should, in fact, be happy for honest typos when the alternative is a jackass being "clever."

Mea culpa. I'll not make fun of typos in the future.
