Chieftains in Philadelphia

The Chieftains performed at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia on March 9th, 2012. As many times as I have heard their music this was the first time I had ever seen them live.
They don't disappoint. I admire their versatility and the the way they integrate  themes and musical styles old and new. Triona Marshall on the harp was excellent as were the fiddlers and Deanie Richardson. Cara Butler danced beautifully and led some from the crowd around the hall and up onto the stage. Scottish singer Alyth McCormack was fantastic too.



Highlights were the addition of local dancers and musicians as shown here:
