Did the Chieftans open for MO in their US tour in 93 (would have been
ESM)? I seem to remember they were.
That jogged a memory as I saw the Chieftans (or the remnants thereof) in
Galway a couple months back. In fact, we just happened to catch their
show (called Trad on the Prom) on their 10th anniversary (so it was very
long and filled with a truly ridiculous collection of musical and
dancing talent). By their own admission they love not touring, but
their music was still something to behold.
Anyway, carry on!
