Talk:The Chieftains

message: Currently the article opens with the rather presumptuous boast "The Chieftains are not famous for singing [...] best known for being the first band to make Irish traditional music popular around the world."
Could someone please add a believable reference for this claim or else remove it?
The Dubliners for example were founded earlier and had their first chart hits in 1967, I think. 85.177.111.239 (talk) 01:04, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Have added the qualifier "one of" to tone down that claim. The Clancy Brother and Tommy Makem were well known many years prior to The Chieftains (although they were a mainly singing group).--116.240.250.235 (talk) 04:12, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: First to popularize Irish traditionals?

message: I've never heard of the album entitled "Concert Orchestra" of 1983 as listed in the discography section. I'm not an authority and would like someone to confirm if there ever was such an album release. Also, I wouldn't want that entry to be deleted until the source 'of that entry' is found, in case there was some sort of obscure/rare album released by the group in 1983. Thanks.

thread_title: Name?

message: Hmmm... I didn't think an article about a musical group, being a group, really fell under the header of "biography." I guess I'm willing to play along, though.  — AnnaKucsma   (Talk to me!) 16:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Need a photo! 

message: This article seems to be missing the history of the band. Anyone know anything about them? The first 20 years seem to be practically ignored.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 23:56, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
