Paddy Moloney, The Chieftains founder, dies aged 83

The Irish Traditional Music Archive said Mr Moloney made an enormous contribution to Irish traditional music, song and dance, and has left a wonderful musical legacy.

Paying tribute to one of its founding members, Na Píobairí Uilleann (NPU), the Society of Uilleann Pipers, described Mr Moloney as "a giant of a figure in Irish life".

"Paddy Moloney was a wonderful piper, an incredibly creative musician and a powerful performing artist," said NPU chief executive Gay McKeon.

"He helped popularise Irish music all over the world and in doing so, brought the sound of the uilleann pipes to the attention of so many.

Arts Council Chair Prof. Kevin Rafter said: "Paddy Moloney's unique style of uilleann piping is one of the most instantly recognisable sounds of Ireland.

From his early days with Ceoltóiri Chualann, his founding of Claddagh Records with Garech de Brún, to the groundbreaking and award-winning music with The Chieftains, Paddy has been a constant in our lives for decades and has been instrumental in bringing our rich traditional music to audiences across the globe."

The acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, who was from Dublin, was a leading contributor to the revival of Irish folk and traditional music. The Chieftains became one of the best-known Irish traditional groups in the world, winning six Grammys. The Irish government formally acknowledged them as cultural ambassadors in 1989.

Irish Examiner view: Legacy of legend

Their advocacy for the artform and relentless work ethic won them a reputation as cultural ambassadors – being formally acknowledged as such in 1989 by the Irish government, as well as winning a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2002 BBC Folk Awards, and six Grammy awards.

Moloney was a giant of the scene

With six Grammy wins, few musicians can count The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Madonna, Luciano Pavarotti, Elvis Costello, Marianne Faithfull and Sinead O’Connor among their collaborators

Superlatives are all too readily applied these days, but Paddy Moloney truly was a giant of music.

Paddy Moloney: Irish president leads tributes after death of Chieftains founder

President Higgins said people around the world inspired by Mr Moloney's music "will have learnt with great sadness" of his passing.

He said Mr Moloney's "extraordinary skills" were at the forefront of the renaissance of interest in Irish music.

"He brought a love of Irish music not just to the diaspora, but to all those across the world who heard his music and appreciated it for its own sake as it transcended all musical boundaries," he said.

Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Micheál Martin thanked Mr Moloney for his "massive contribution to the life of our nation".

"The term 'legend' is regularly overused, but hard to think of any other way to describe this giant of Irish music and culture," he said.

Paddy Moloney obituary

Paddy Moloney, who has died aged 83, was a founder and the leader of the Chieftains, a band that made Irish traditional music famous across the globe. A composer, arranger of traditional music and innovative musician on the tin whistle and the uilleann pipes, Moloney was a towering influence in Irish music for more than six decades. His ambition for the band and his love of music led to a long series of collaborations on stage and on record with a wide variety of performers, some from the pop and rock world and others who made traditional music from a variety of cultures.

Irish folk music legend

Moloney was a hugely important fixture in the Irish folk music scene. For more than 50 years, Moloney led The Chieftains around the world, popularizing traditional Irish music. The band also collaborated with countless artists and groups from outside of the folk-music world, including Mick Jagger, Roger Daltrey, Emmylou Harris, and Luciano Pavarotti. Their last show was an early St. Patrick's Day celebration in Philadelphia, Pa., in 2020, before the pandemic forced them to cancel the remainder of their "Irish Goodbye" tour.
