Fans of Irish music should act fast – The Chieftains are almost done with their tour! The band has collaborated with such artists as Roger Waters and Van Morrison, along with a number of other accolades. “As cultural ambassadors, their performances have been linked with seminal historic events, such as being the first Western musicians to perform on the Great Wall of China, participating in Roger Water’s “The Wall” performance in Berlin in 1990, and being the first ensemble to perform a concert in the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. In 2010, their experimental collaborations extended to out of this world, when Paddy Moloney’s whistle and Matt Molloy’s flute travelled with NASA astronaut, Cady Coleman, to the international space station,” the band writes on its official website. Also according to the groups website, the Chieftains also performed for Pope John Paul II when he visited Ireland in 1979 and for Queen Elizabeth II, when she made her first official visit to the Emerald Isle in 2011
