The band has recorded many albums of instrumental Irish folk music, as well as multiple collaborations with popular musicians of many genres, including Country music, Galician traditional music, Cape Breton and Newfoundland music, and rock and roll. They have performed with Van Morrison, The Rolling Stones, Sting, Roger Daltrey, Elvis Costello, Tom Jones, SinƩad O'Connor, James Galway, Jackson Browne, Nancy Griffith and numerous Country-western artists. In 1975, the group won praise for their playing of "Women of Ireland" for Stanley Kubrick's movie Barry Lyndon.
They have won six Grammy Awards and have been nominated eighteen times. In 2002 they were given a Lifetime Achievement Award by the UK's BBC Radio 2. The front covers of the first four albums were designed by Edward Delaney.
Paddy Moloney is the band's leader, and composes or arranges most of the band's music. While the band's members changed numerous times in the band's early history, the membership solidified in 1979 when Matt Molloy replaced Michael Tubridy.

ā @@brianm2881 unfortunately so much history was destroyed due to wars and rebellions as such
That said I doubt the English were the first to do a jig they probably were the first popularize it
I could probably find
another example in Europe
claiming same thing
Letās just say historically the English werenāt very good at all making there own folk music
But they did have some good
classical and military marches
But English folk music was
very (Trivial) at best compared to Scottish or Irish folk music
Thatās why they got the Irish most of the time to do it for them or to play there folk music for them
Witch ironically lead
to a even greater decline
in English folk music
Also the Celtic jig is is played differently from from what you consider normal jig
Thereās a reason why the symbol of Ireland is harp itās for the love of music ironically

Eight hundred years of war, countless bloody battles, victories defeats and rising once again to face the enemy. The island of saints and scholars, warriors, boozers! and composers of great magical music.
