The Chieftains pay tribute to their former bandmate Derek Bell at the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin (May 25) and The Waterfront, Belfast (26).

A member of the legendary Irish tradsters since 1972, Bell was a child prodigy who wrote his first concerto at age 12. Along with his Chieftains work, he appeared with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the symphony orchestras of Pittsburgh, Moscow, London and Budapest.

Tickets for what promises to be a moving night are available now priced £18 and £22.
