The history of the Chieftains over the last thirty-five years is the remarkable tale of how an unlikely group of enthusiasts came together to rescue some of the world’s most beautiful music from near-extinction, brought it to an audience of millions, and became 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, The Chieftains tells the group’s own story for the first time, with insight, wit, and charm.
