The Chieftains, one of President-elect Joe Biden's favorite artists, had been invited to perform at his inauguration this Wednesday, January 20.
Chieftains founder Paddy Moloney, who previously said it would have been "an honor" to play Biden's inauguration, has told RTÉ News that due to travel restrictions, the legendary Irish musicians will not be able to perform at the January 20 event in Washington, DC.
"I think it would have been a huge job to get the whole band together for that unless somebody had a private plane to bring us all over," Moloney said.
"Bruce Springsteen and ourselves are his favorite musicians but this terrible situation going around has put a dampener on it all."
