IPaddy? I thought that mst be one of those portable gizmos for listening to Irish music.

Yes, the Chieftains have brought their diddly-diddlies to blues, rock, country, and jazz. And don't you think they've improved them all? Their cross-Celtic collaborations, with the likes of Carlos Nunez, have been interesting, too.

I agree with weelittledrummer - the integrity of the music always seems to be preserved, no matter what. And it's usually damn good fun, too.
