Paddy’s Return / Mullingar Races / Tommy Peoples / The 5 Mile Chase - The Chieftains, 1986 

R.i.p Paddy. No finer musician came out of Dublin ❤️

A capital force in today's importance of folk irish music. A talent to be reckoned. A soul that will outlive us. A true musician. A master. Rest in peace, Paddy Moloney... 👏👏👏👏

A true legend of Irish music. R.I.P. Paddy 🇮🇪

R.I.P...justheard it on the radio. A part of my childhood is now gone. But never forgotten.

We’ve lost a member of our family. I have followed the Chieftains for many years and he was so very talented. We’ll miss him dearly. RIP Paddy.

There were very few humans on this earth I loved more than Mr. Maloney.  Suaimhneas Síoraí Air, Padraig

He'll be havin' the craic up in the big session upstairs. RIP Paddy.

The Uillean pipes is hands down one of the most beautiful sounding instruments. So much sweeter than and far less feedback than the bag pipes.

a huge loss , the land will weep and we will say his name .

What a great loss ! RIP Paddy, we‘ll miss you. Regards from Galicia

R.I.P to one of our greatest musical legends. your music will live on forever Paddy.

RIP Paddy... toutes les condoléances de la France :(

When I was growing up, my dad was a big chieftains fan and had the album they did with Van Morrison. Every Christmas we listened to the Bells of Dublin album. Some of my very earliest memories are of the sounds of Paddy's pipes. A couple years ago as I entered college, some friends and I ended up forming an Irish band and have been heavily influenced by the Chieftains. Playing their music has been a source of great joy for us. I've never found another group whose music I've felt connected to from such a depth of my soul. Nothing else resonates so deeply within my heart The sound that came out of Paddy Maloney's life has been etched in the very fibers of my being and I am forever indebted to him for his contribution to Irish music. May God bless the Maloney family. Thank you Paddy

R.I.P Good Man, so sad to see you go🇮🇪💕

Rest in peace Paddy, you'll be sorely missed.

paddy will.love this trad music now lives on rip paddy sleep wel

Ah... Paddy's gone. RIP great man.

How sad., our famous piper ( Chieftan ) has died RIP. ... many thanks for bringing the music of a fading tradition to us... in fact, he helped to bring it back to life ... 🎼🎶🎶🎶 x

R.I.P Paddy

Great video of the original chieftains with the inimitable paddy front and centre. I saw them twice in the uk and once in brittany and can always feel the joy and beauty of their music

God bless you Paddy.. if carlsberg did Irish Musicians… you were probably the best we’ve ever had ✊🏼💪🏼🇮🇪 RIP

RIP paddy was very surprised when I heard you had passed figured you had at least another 10 years of playing in you sadly the lord had other ideas ☹️

My dad's favorite band.

Rip paddy, one of the best musicians,

The chieftains are one of my spirit . I'm at loss.

My deepest simpathy to your loss. I have to experienced this .my hart goes out to you.

It's not often you get to hear a group where every member is recognized by everyone as a master, and probably the greatest living master, of their instrument. That's why they changed the world of Irish music, even and far more than the Clancy Brothers.

R.I.P Paddy, Ireland lost a legend, your legacy will live on forever

Hey Paddy, bring some reels and a bit of irish happiness in heaven. They sure need it...

Such a great musician and fabulous human! Thank you Paddy for your music. RIP

Godspeed Paddy!

Fantastic. I've seen the Chieftains twice. They are just wonderful.

Bless you for the music. St Peter keep you safe.

Memory Eternal!

Sad to see him go…

R.i.p Paddy

I remember seeing them at Snape maltings when I was as school. The two people who loved it was me and our teacher. Before he died he was part of a folk group and I am currently learning to play the melodeon so I think it was in my mind even then. I noted at the time none of my class mates enjoyed it at all. They were bored stiff.

Absolutely fantastic--I love it!!!

It did so much for traditional Irish music. If anybody played the bodhran like that now in a session they would be laughed at. The uilleann pipes are not so popular anymore.

Great musician, unfortunate haircut!😁

Only three chieftains left. from this lineup. RIP paddy. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a h'anam dílis
