Sold Out
Claddagh Records are delighted to re-release one of The Chieftains classic albums back onto CD. Recorded in 1971 over a weekend in London, this was the first of The Chieftains recordings to feature the seminal sounds of Derek Bell’s harp, which ultimately came to be completely synonymous with The Chieftains distinctive sound.
The version of ‘Mná na hÉireann’, composed by Seán Ó Riada and dedicated to him after his passing, was featured in Stanley Kubrick’s 1975 film Barry Lyndon and was also recorded on Mike Oldfield’s 1996 album Voyager, serving as testament to the level of music produced on ‘The Chieftains 4’.
