The Chieftians - An Irish Evening: Live at The Grand Opera House, Belfast

The idea for this album came out of the very first Chieftains Festival, a week long series of concerts, featuring such artists as Roger Daltrey, Roddy Frame of Aztec Camera, The Pogues, Fergal Sharkey, Midge Ure, Ralph McTell and Alan Stivell. They were approached by UTV on the strength of this to do a tv special, with two performances at the Belfast Opera House with special guest stars. The Chieftains managed to include an album and video in the deal, and the shows went ahead successfully featuring Roger Daltrey, Nanci Griffith and step dancer Jean Butler.
'An Irish Evening' received a Grammy for 'Best Traditional Folk Album' in 1993.
