The Clancy Brothers Live in Tipperary, Ireland 1995

[@smccarthy8309]

The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem were part of our family's deepest roots, I'm 63 now and my eyes get misty from time to time, listening now is one of those times..

[@PatGleeson-z6z]

fantastic - The Clancys were the leaders in bringing Irish music to the world

[@hibernii]

yep, along with the dubliners

[@panibabcia7732]

💚... 🍀... 🎶💎 ... 👍✌👍 Respekt dla Irlandii i jej historii. Dla Braci Clancy mam szacunek, podziw i sympatię. Słucham ich od wielu lat, wystarczająco rzadko, by znów zatęsknić i odlecieć, bo małe jest piękne. Byli najlepszą wizytówką swojej Ojczyzny, jej rdzeniem i charakterem.

[@kathrynlandry6863]

My grandparents came to the US from England in the early 1900’s. They were both from County Mayo. They died when I was in my early 20’s. How I wish I was older so I could have asked them about Ireland. Now I’m 81 and have so many things I want to ask. It never dawned on me when I was a child how brave they were.

[@creekyknee]

If they were from Mayo then they were losers.

[@timothyhyde]

The Clancy Brothers came through our area in the mid nineties, and we went and saw them of course. I think it was this same lineup, pretty sure. So we go to the show it was at a public park nearby, and then we go to the bar after (we were early to mid twenties back then). Who's at the bar but them! Paddy and Liam were advising Finbarr to lay off the hard stuff, and Finbarr, I believe, did not take that advice to heart and actually enjoyed the company of somebody we were there with. Absolutely hilarious and pretty much exactly as expected!

[@marlenaamalfitano1558]

IN 1966-67 I live in NYC and used to go to the Minemsha bar, which the Clancys frequented. I was only 21 and just to be in the same room was such a thrill. Still love them.

[@catherineouellette8124]

All the lovely sweaters they're wearing are still made by hand--the sheep's wool has lanolin that makes the yarn water-resistant.

[@ronabrams7899]

if this is the best that Ireland produced then you have every right to proud oh Ireland.

[@catherinehazur7336]

There must not be a more joyful experience anyplace than to join your cousins, nephews, brothers, and uncles on stage playing instruments and singing the beloved traditional songs of your people. Like Tom Clancy who went on before, these other brothers, Liam, Bobby, Paddy and nephew Robbie O'Donnell will soon follow him offstage, but their music will go on forever wherever the Irish people get together with guitar, banjo, bodhran and pipes and raise their voices together in song. I am very appreciative of the Clancys and all that they shared in America, Ireland and around the world with their music. This leaves Finnbarr to carry on a marvelous tradition...

[@robertmcloughlin4800]

These brothers and Tommy Makem were a big part of my childhood and teenage years. Never lost the love of their music.. They're all gone now, but the songs and joy will live on forever.. thanks boys... Bob from Bradenton Florida...

[@The_Robs]

I was fortunate to see Liam and Tommy Makem several times. Check out the Makem and Spain Brothers, the descendants of the Clancy’s, if you get a chance. Their music indeed lives on!

[@dennywheeler1096]

When the Clancy brothers were learning their trade, in the fifties, they were very regular visitors to our house. Dr Kevin McCann, my dad, had an astounding knowledge of Irish traditional music, and the brothers wished to know more about their craft. Such wonderful memories of their music, songs, wit, and laughter. Feeling nostalgic...💚

I have loved the Clancy Brothers for over 50 years. They have only become better. I morned the loss of Liam Clancy. Theirs is a unique form of music and excellent. If you do not like their music, listen to Kiss or something more to your liking. Why dislike them? I failed to mention Tommy Makem. He always added a pleasant addition to their music. Count me as a permanent fan.

[@wolfgangschulz709]

You are so right

[@s1nd3r3llee]

Me too! They were wonderful fellows, singers, and entertainers. Amazing. Great to get a dose of them now and then. ❤

[@marilymccann3602]

Liam was my favourite, and, of course, Tommy added another element. Sadly, although there were many brothers, they didn’t make old bones. The original boy band??!

[@kieranporter5571]

Same as. Some great songs on the record player and I used to sing um walking to school loud n Clear.

[@saludanite]

When I was 14, I gathered all the information I needed to go to Ireland, the Clancy's being the main spur in the quest. Well, I never made it, to my great sorrow. The years went by, as did my youth, passing to the responsibilities of maturity. After 9/11, then came the time for my adopting mother to pass - the last of the adopting family that raised me. My wife was rummaging through all the old papers that were left hidden away in the home, including my original secreted birth certificate. It read, along with my birthdate, more than 50 years past, "Robert Allen Odonald." I exclaimed, "D***! I KNEW I was Irish all along!"

My last tour in Vietnam ended early. Nixon started to pull out the troops and I went to you, Iwakuni, Japan. First night of liberty, I walked out the gate to the end of the street. The doors were open, and I heard the Clancy Brothers! The only place I ever went to have a drink. Dinner was around the corner at a little soba shop! PS: more than a year before age I have been in tanks. I heard Sarge! Turned and my loader from my 68 tour was standing guard at the main gate! One of two, Native Americans on my crew!

I would later play their LP's when my Irish mother in law visited and she would nearly be ecstatic.

They played this gig in their home town Carrick-On-Suir. Tipperary. After so many years in the USA they made it back home minus a brother!. This lot are my cousins through my Father.

That's because we have Irish blood running through our veins and we just can't help but show off!!. R.I.P. THE Clancy Brothers . Your music will always live on . If u wore an Arron jumper, the folk thought u was wealth off because they were expensive to make and would last forever.Throughout my childhood I used to get inside me Fathers and snuggle on the settee till the coal fire was roaring in the morning before School .

You wouldn't know it, but some of their on-stage "joking" reflected real tensions between them, which were ultimately resolved. I was in Ireland with them at the time, and some friction re money and the Irish Festival Cruises was still going on. Paddy was exceptionally friendly to me and my fellow group members, and he and Mary had us over to his farm. They rode with us on the bus and sang American folk songs with us. Finbar (Bobby's son....the fifth performer playing the flute and bass) went on to become a member of The High Kings. He came to look EXACTLY like Bobby did at the same age. Paddy and Bobby showed us around Carrick-on-Suir and arranged a marching band for us. They were both treated with utmost respect by the folks who resided in Carrick. Paddy probable already had the cancer that killed him. On his tombstone reads: "Just lay me down in my native peat with a jug of punch at my head and feet."
