On Friday 17th March 2023, The Chieftains, the world’s most celebrated traditional Irish band, will celebrate their 60th anniversary with the first-ever vinyl release of their iconic 2012 album Voice of Ages.
This imaginative collection of songs sees collaborations between The Chieftains and an impressive array of like-minded musical visionaries from the worlds of indie-rock (Bon Iver, The Decemberists, The Low Anthem, Paolo Nutini), country and americana (The Civil Wars, Pistol Annies, Carolina Chocolate Drops, Punch Brothers) and Irish folk (Imelda May, Lisa Hannigan).
Voice of Ages is a bold affirmation that The Chieftains’ inspiring influence, musical brilliance and enduring legacy are more relevant than ever.
This 2LP record will be released on 180g vinyl and will be available from Friday 17th March 2023.
