Re: RIP Paddy Moloney
Very sad news. A seminal figure in traditional music and piping. RIP.
Does anyone know when he played his final concert?

Re: RIP Paddy Moloney
There is an item where rte' s Nationwide went along on what was to be the final Chieftains tour here:
RTE news : Paddy Moloney remembered - classics from the RTÉ archives
but have seen him on TV more recently pulling out the whistle, can't remember the context though.

I haven't posted here in a long while, but I had to pay my respects to the great Paddy Moloney.

Re: RIP Paddy Moloney
There was an episode of "Sé mo laoch" dedicated to Paddy Moloney in the mid-2000s. I have an audio recording of it, but sadly not the video. If anyone finds it anywhere on the web, could they please post the link here?
Paddy speaks of growing up, learning from Leo, getting the Chieftains started, and then his decision to "go professional" after a big gig in NYC in the 1970s. He signs and plays whistle with Barney McKenna, and plays a duet version of Six Penny Money with Kevin Rowsome (both playing Leo Rowsome sets), which sounded great (IMHO even better than the version he did with LOF).

Here is a download link, hope this kind of sharing is allowed here, because it really is a nice film, and I'd send it to you via PM, but on the forum there's a chance that somebody else could also enjoy it.

- Tell us something.: I'm a younger musician that plays the clarinet, saxophone, and GHB. I've recently become very interested in the Uilleann Pipes, and will likely soon shift the majority of my focus to them for quite some time. I figured that this was a good place to start!
Re: RIP Paddy Moloney
This is really fascinating, thank you! The Chieftains' music was always playing during Christmas at my house growing up, so they've strangely become inextricably linked with holiday feelings for me. Paddy's passing is a real tragedy.Sandy wrote: ↑Thu Oct 14, 2021 9:17 amNot sure if it is anywhere on the Internet, but I happened to have it downloaded on my old laptop.PJ wrote: ↑Wed Oct 13, 2021 8:42 am There was an episode of "Sé mo laoch" dedicated to Paddy Moloney in the mid-2000s.
