The Chieftains Tickets

It doesn't get any better than this. The Chieftains put on a great show demonstrating not only their muscial skill as instrumentalists and singers, but their amazing capacity to mix Irish music with other styles and themes. The "San Patricio" Tour does that. There were great dancers, displaying traditional Irish dance and the Canadian step dance equivalent. Great mix of old Chieftains favorites and new work. They enage the audience from the first note and never loose their grip. Taking advantage of St. Patrick's Day in NYC to engage pipe bands and weave them into the mix was very powerful and entertaining. This performance will endure in my memory, it is not to be forgotten.

Absolutely the greatest Irish music show I have seen in years. My daughter, Alanna, aged 15 years, enjoyed herself enormously. She can't wait until next year.

The whole show just got better and better as the night progressed. I knew I would love the show but it even exceeded my expectations. The extra acts of the step dancers and the bagpipes made the show as well. They were very funny, entertaining and brillient.

The Chieftains were great, but someone decided to change the original start time from 8:00 PM to 7:30 PM. I was in my seat at 7:20 and the show finally started at 7:50 PM and then people stumbled to their seats for the next 15 minutes in the dark. All pretty distracting. It really doesn't matter what time a show starts - just make up your mind and stick to it.

the Cheiftans as a core group have been together for 49 years, and they still manage to be fresh, constantly exploring new themes and ideas. the Cheiftans are great at bring music together as a whole, as evidenced by their album The Long Black Veil, which had them working with Sting, The Rolling Stones and Van Morrison among others. this time, it's a little known piece of history that has them updating their repetoire. their tribute to the San Patricio Brigade -- a group of Irish Immigrants who fought on the Mexican side during the 1848 Mexican/American war -- has given them new lively arrangements, incorporating spanish, mexican and irish music in a way not done before to my knowledge. it gave a very interesting scope and breadth to the evening's performance.

the BESY way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Phenomenal music, dancing, and talent!!

This was the second time I saw the chieftains. I loved the show! Town Hall was a great venue for them too.

Talent on the hoof - strength to their arms and legs. Long may they reign over us - and thank you.

This is our fourth time to hear The Chieftains and each time they get better. This performance was the best yet. We have several of their CD's and have enjoyed their work for years. If you have a chance to hear them in person, please go you will receive your moneys worth and more. All of the entertainers with them were super. We always have liked what The Chieftains do to have some local talent on the stage with them. That is simply great.

The show was simply amazing! The whole audience was foot stomping and clapping in rhythm throughout the entire show. Band leader, Paddy Maloney, kept the audience highly motivated not only with his music, but with his quick witted sense of humor throughout the performance. The addition of the step dancers and bagpipers brought the house down. The whole audience was involved especially when the dancers came out and interacted with the audience and made them part of the show when bringing them up onto the stage. This is a MUST SEE!

Awesome....First time seeing them, loved every minute of it. They are they most unpretencious band ever, 48 years now. Vistors and guests were playing, singing, dancing and then came the Marching Bagpipe band. Paddy Maloney introduced every song and the artists that were with them. The hall was made for music, very comfortable and the workers were very friendly. We got lucky with street parking a block away. I'm going to see them whenever they come to town from now on.

the Chieftains were fantastic, I especially enjoyed the the quest artist It always keeps their shows interesting.

Absolutely fabulous- we loved the show-and bought the CD's-We have listenened to them for 30 years but the show was so fabulous especially the blue grass #. having the stepdancers and the Stuards play was great. I bought the tickets for my husband and I didn't think I would like it but I loved it.

Great evening...was uplifting, the music and the dancing were wonderful.

This was such a wonderful show! My first Chieftain's concert and my first concert at L.M.A. It was so nice to see the band enjoy entertaining us. My only disappointment was the backlighting....I could not see the musician's faces at all...and I had been told there wasn't a bad seat in the house! Not seeing the performers you pay to see was the only downfall....overall the concert was wonderful and I look forward to attending again.

I have seen the Chieftains in concert for 7 years straight now. Altough the concert follows a similar format each year it is still amazing concert. The Chieftains are truly gifted musicians. Those who think that they are only going to hear Irish music are treated to a mutli-cultural and historic night of folk music. When you hear the Chieftains in concert it is no wonder that some of the biggest names in music have collaberated with them (i.e. Rolling Stone, Sting, Sinead O'Connor, Van Morrison). Of the past 7 years I have seen them in concert 6 of those years the concert was held at Symphony Hall in Boston. This is the perfect location for the quality of music the Chieftains play. The accoustics in Symphony Hall are amazing, actually beyond amazing. Having the concert this year at the Lowell Auditorium was a major disappointment. Although the building is nice and appears to have been recently restored. The accoustics at Lowell Auditorium fail in comparison to Symphony Hall. I am not sure as to why the change of venue this year. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, bring the Chieftains back to Boston, home of the Irish and back to the beautiful Symphony Hall.

No matter what cast of players, singers and dancers that Paddy Maloney assembles, you can be assured that The Chieftains will deliver a first class show. Very enjoyable from start to finish. The show was lively, moving, inspiring and professional. Don't miss The Chieftains if they're coming to your town.

Great concert!! Lots of different guest artists all good. Floor was shaking with the dancing!

I must admit that I was a little apprehensive that there would be too much instrumental songs but the depth and breath of the musical variation was simply excellent!
