150 years after the Great Famine, we can see that Ireland has more than recovered! What a celebration of persistence, endurance, and love of life! And now, 24 years on, with the Chieftains’ most recent loss of Paddy Moloney, we celebrate his life of trad music mastery and leadership, as well as all the lives of the Chieftains and the Corrs!!! Thank you all, and Paddy, RIP.

I was at this concert, it was a part of the commemorations that took place all over Ireland in respect of the 150th anniversary of the Great Famine. Fantastic night, Mill Street !997
what I like about Irish music is the musicians always look like they are having a good time and enjoying themselves. being of Irish descent, I'd like to get over there soon to experience the country and people
That was absolutely beautiful. No I understand why someone once wrote: "I will ask my God to let me make my heaven in my dear land across the Irish sea". Greetings from a very distant country, Chile.
I suddenly feel sad and sentimental. Everyone playing looked so young, so joyous, and so full of energy. As Sandy Denny once wrote and sung "who knows where time goes" is exactly what I am feeling listening to these wonderful performers.
The Corrs make me happy when I'm sad and they make laugh when I'm angry but most of all they make me rejoice for the music that covers the landscape when I travel. Their talent is a blessing.
This is one of the reasons why I want to visit Ireland so much. Just chill in one of their pubs, having a drink and clapping along (or dancing if I really get into the mood) to this kind of music.
being English and never visited Ireland .I love the jigs and reels ,don,t know what it means but it stirs something up inside. I now live in Slovakia and the folk music is not the same racey pace ,miss it a lot . never loose the heart of Ireland and keep it alive.
Saw the Chieftains a few years ago in Springfield Illinois ,It was a moving experience .The crowd sat there enjoying every second of the show .Never get tired of seeing these guys
My great grandfather on my mothers side, was a massive dock worker in my hometown of Hartlepool(in England) And everytime i hear this type of music, i just have this massive smile on my face and feel like dancing.
After every injustice that the Irish have suffered since time began that we can still stand up and play such wonderous music speaks for itself,we are a nation apart,Erin Abu.
The Corrs are Irish brother and sisters. Quite authentic, great musicians, and as soon as you think that they are "selling out," they produce something of indescribable beauty. This is one of those numerous occasions.
the CORRS and the CHIEFTAINS: I love especially the violines... they make it so cheerful and powerful as if you dance on a spiral up and up, the drum makes it earthy at the same time... REALLY GREAT MUSIC, thanks
I have a little Irish in me. My great, great, great, great, great Grandfather was Daniel O'Connell. I come from his daughter Elizabeth who married Thomas Kehoe. My Grandmother was a McDonald, and my other great Grandmother was a Brennan. However my Grandfathers were German and Italian. They married Irish girls. WELL I JUST WANT TO SAY, I LOVE THIS.
Where else will you see a lovely lass in an evening gown dresses to the 9's playing a whistle like no tomorrow... Some of the most outstanding flute and whistle playing you can listen to...
beautiful music, I love it! best wishes to all irish people, all celtic ppl, I admire you, your culture, your fight for freedom, dont lose your language, thats part of your culture
I'm Irish-American and I lived and worked in Dublin for 1-1/2 years. Still not sure which is best: Irish music, Irish pubs or the beautiful Irish women!
Someone asked me why this music moves me so strongly and I was at a loss to explain. All that I could think of was that it touches something inside. If it doesn't then no words will make sense...
+Rick Kernell It's impossible to hear something like this and not have it go through my entire being! Can't keep still when i hear it. And my people came to America from Scotland 150 years ago! All things celtic move me.
I'm across the pond in Florida. I'm a Howard on my father's side but I have some Fitzgerald on my mother's side. I guess that I cry when I hear true Irish music. I can't help it!
The Chieftans are fantastic, the music is fantastic, and the Corrs - they are so beautiful. I play Bodhran, but could hardly watch it becasue of that beautiful young lady. Wish she would hold me so close! ten out of five
Toss the Feathers... Yeah! Great tune. Love their version on the album (The Corrs). Celtic music is so powerful. So much drive and energy - amazing. The tap dancing is unbelievable too.
A wunderbare Musik und Rhyhmus. Sie steckt uns auch in den Genen. So eine Freude diese Musik. Oder auf steirisch : Echt schein, dass ihr des Olles so guat hinkrigt`s. Mit dea Musik, Rhythmus und Klang des san mia..... Heidi
Oiiii Pgidley sir, my comment, what oive just said......I can guarantee ya. I went to sleep the other noight, and this song was in moy ed. My feet were moving all over the shop. Bloody marvellous I say. Moy feet were loike dancing uncontrollably over the shop. Even whilst I was sleeping! arrrrrgh arrrrgh
Her name is Andrea Corr - and yes in terms of breath control this performance is a feat of it’s own!!! Andrea along with her siblings are fantastic in this Long live “toss the feathers” ❤🎉
My full respect and admiration are theirs. I know how much hard work is needed to be able and play the flute/whistle so fast. I love this kind of Irish music, sounds like pure joy.
Her whistle playing is better than her sister’s “fiddle” playing which is so plain and “classical.” But to each their own. That’s my opinion. It was the Corrs who first inspired me to learn the whistle and fiddle. Unfortunately Andrea Corr likes playing those $3 Walton’s whistle things. I bought some in 2001 and they were downright unplayable. In this video she’s playing what appears to be a Generation nickel whistle. They’re slightly better than Walton’s but hit or miss. I can only imagine the Corrs’ music if she had a finer instrument! There is definitely something to be said for cheaper instruments; my favorite whistle right now is an Oak D. But that was a lucky buy! I’d sooner purchase an Oak over a Generation; I’d sooner purchase a Generation over a Feadog. And I’d buy a feadog and never a Walton’s. Nope
I grew up in an Ireland and in primary school, it was compulsory to learn how to play the Tin Whistle. It's a very squeaky whistle, no matter how much you practice. It's hard to master, and even those who have aren't ever 'perfect', but that's the joys of irish music. It's not meant to be pure perfection, it's meant to be fun, cheerful and upbeat 😊
John Benton We Irish Americans on this side of the Atlantic have A cure for all this. Make the irish republic the 51st American state, then ulster will become even more of A millstone around englands neck. Its costing them A bundle, Smart people would have gotten out long ago
I was chatting to a nice lady in a garage near Westport. She said she could not understand the nationalists in Ulster; If they were to come over the border to Eire, they would be given a farm each! As they say in Yorkshire, "There's nowt as queer as folk". And, do you know, I think they're right.

The Irish have held on to their own identity against all odds, and won. So glad they did!!! Love it!! :)
@Chris The Canadian Camper ahahah what a joke!
Absolutely fantastic music , makes you proud to have Celtic origins
Amazing how we managed to hold onto it considering the odds.

Wonderful !! Thank you.
I always feel a bit sorry for the whistle solist woman, she is so out of air but she keeps the mad speed. It's just fantastic
Her name is Andrea Corr - and yes in terms of breath control this performance is a feat of it’s own!!! Andrea along with her siblings are fantastic in this
Long live “toss the feathers” ❤🎉
It’s incredible but it comes down to breath control from singing
Playing with the chieftains can't be easy
You are not missing anything. I can assure you.
My full respect and admiration are theirs. I know how much hard work is needed to be able and play the flute/whistle so fast.

This music touches me like an Irish Priest.
+Jared 12fish92 Wicked!
I suppressed an urge to laugh at that.
Haha
This whole song is GREAT and I couldn't stop listening to it. WOW : )
I love how Caroline laughs at Andrea when her whistle goes off tune!
Is there anything better? That's seriously awesome Irish music.
Et moi, je suis fan aussi...c'est magnifique.
Ireland for ever

The hell are those things dancing at the end of the video??
I love how Gabriel Byrne introduces them. A rowdly dow. Shindig. Doggety dancers - whatever that is. I think that's what I like most about this video.
Interesting. Pity shes a bit wobbly on the whistle eh?
was thinking the same thing ahah
