Water from the Well

‘Water from the Well’ is a collection of tunes drawn together from the length and breadth of the island of Ireland. It is, in the truest sense of the word, a musical journey which sees The Chieftains travel back to their musical roots, revisiting people, places and music they first met way, way back. ‘Water from the Well’ sees the Chieftains at their traditional best, collaborating once again but this time with their fellow traditional players – friends old and new. This journey takes us from Matt Molloy’s pub in Westport, to the Community Hall in Kilfenora with a sprinkling of the famous Céilí band; from Dingle with copious singers to squeeze boxes and set dancers in Laois; and from the Glens of Antrim with twelve harpers to Donegal with Altan.
