The Storrs concert appearance, one stop in the band’s “The Irish Goodbye” Tour, will celebrate the iconic group’s nearly six decades of music-making, during which they reinvented traditional Irish music on a contemporary and international scale. Though many consider an Irish Goodbye to be one sneaking out of a party without telling anyone, others disagree. They say that an Irish person can’t be the last one to leave the party without hours of long conversations, a few sing-alongs and elaborate farewells. This performance promises the latter, as founder Paddy Moloney says, “Our US fans continue to give us the warmest of welcomes, so it’s going to be a huge pleasure to play once again for all our friends.” Sandwiches, desserts, and beverages will be available from a cash bar when doors open at 7:00 pm. The show begins at 8:00 pm. For additional information about the artists please visit www.thechieftains.com or www.opus3artists.com/artists/the-chieftains.
