the film itself wasn't a hit, but the chieftains were, especially one track called "women of ireland," which began getting played heavily on fm progressive rock stations, and even managed to get onto the playlists of some top 40 stations.
the chieftains are their own culture and i hear traces of not only celtic history but global history in their work, echoing back to the beginning of time.
paddy says no, the chieftains' album "celtic harp" was recorded primarily in frank zappa's basement "when we were there filming something for the bbc with some tibetan (sic) throat singers." he said frank invited them to record something and they ended up recording a good portion of the album there in the basement.
