The 83-year-old helped to bring traditional Irish music to the fore, internationally.
Chieftains founder Paddy Moloney will be laid to rest in Co Wicklow this morning, after he died on Tuesday.
His funeral Mass is taking place in St Kevin's Church in Glendalough, with burial afterwards in the adjoining cemetery.
The 83-year-old helped to bring traditional Irish music to the fore - and a half-page obituary was published for him in the New York Times this week.
Former US ambassador to Ireland, Kevin O'Malley, says Paddy visited his embassy several times
I’m deeply saddened to hear of the passing of the Great #PaddyMoloney. What a lovely talented gentle man. I took this video of Paddy and @SharonShannon99 a few years ago when they were rehearsing for the Ray D’Arcy show.We’ll miss his wonderful playing always, Sleep well Paddy 🌻 pic.twitter.com/zqV0FSfgV3
