The Daily Tar Heel Wednesday, January 28, 19875 Chieftains In a high-spirited and technically brilliant concert in Memorial Hall Monday night, the Chieftains showed why they are widely consi dered to be the world's foremost performers of traditional Irish music. The Chieftains predominantly instrumental program ranged from lively reels to mournful ballads, and the band members seemed equally adept at performing many different styles of music. Together for more than 20 years, the band members are familiar enough with each other to produce a well-balanced ensemble sound. They opened the concert with a medley of traditional Irish reels. Although these reels are played on authentic Irish instruments, they sound very much like American square-dance music. The Chieftains were joined onstage during their opening medley by guest step-dancer Michael Flatley. Flatley joined the band onstage periodically throughout the show, Campin Calendar Wednesday 12 p.m. Career Planning and Placement Services will hold Job Hunt 102 in 306 Hancs Hall.

Flatley's style incorporated many elements of tap dancing, as well as many acrobatic leaps and high kicks. His athletic dancing was well-suited to each of the Chieftains different types of music, and he received several enthusiastic responses from the audience. Each of the Chieftains displayed an exceptional command of his instrument, both in ensemble pas sages and in a number of solos.

Conneff is the band's percussion ist, but he sang two a capella songs during his solo section of the show. Conneff s first song was a traditional Irish drinking song, and his second selection was a slow and beautiful love song. Conneff has a sure and sweet tenor voice, and his singing style features many unique trills. His two unaccompanied songs were the only vocal selections of the evening, but they were a highlight of the show. PRICES EFFECTIVE THRU SAX.
