[edit] Comments
The arrival of Derek Bell on harp gave The Chieftains a distinctive delicate sound. The slow air "Mna Na hEirann" (Women of Ireland), composed by Seán Ó Riada, was used in Stanley Kubrick's 1975 film Barry Lyndon. In 1996 Mike Oldfield recorded it on his album Voyager but credited it to "Traditional".
