Album: Fire in the Kitchen by The Chieftains (1998)
Genre: Folk
Format: Album

Description: Fire in the Kitchen is a compilation album recorded by The Chieftains, in collaboration with an array of Canadian folk musical guests, and released in 1998.

The Chieftains, who were touring Canada that year, had not originally intended to release an album, but unexpectedly ended up recording a number of informal live sessions with guest musicians. The resulting album was billed primarily as a compilation, rather than a Chieftains album per se, although the Chieftains appear on all of the album's tracks.

Artist Background: The Chieftains are a traditional Irish band formed in Dublin in November 1962, by Paddy Moloney, Sean Potts and Michael Tubridy. The band had their first rehearsals at Moloney's house, with Tubridy, Martin Fay and David Fallon. Their sound, which is almost entirely instrumental and largely built around uilleann pipes, has become synonymous with traditional Irish music and they are regarded as having helped popularise Irish music across the world. Paddy Moloney came out of Ceoltóirí Chualann... Part of the Dublin, Ireland music scene. Emerged in the 1960s era. Associated with Jazz movement.
