[@irishelk3]

All dead and gone now, true legends....

[@marjoriestirk703]

he was so talented and funny and still My favourite ballad singer. I loved the Clancy brothers and Tommy Makem and saw them many times in concert. I still play their LP's which I will treasure for ever

[@gerkirrane8544]

Brilliant man and entertainer. They don't make them like that anymore!

[@hissmugness]

An era is now truly passed on. I'll raise my next jug of punch to you, Liam, and shed no more tears.

[@patrickmckeirnan]

Liam a poet and a legend liam taught bob all he knew wrote more songs than barney mc grew ❤❤❤

[@777MrJoe]

It’s a pity Liam wasn’t given a good interviewer. He could have talked for hours, and we’d have gotten some great wisdom.

[@korkybb]

Missed this show thanks for posting excellent

[@tamarabyrne3256]

Well lads..could someone help me? The “John” fella Liam refers to in part one of this interview was actually my father. He dressed as a blue bunny on the show before Liam Clancy’s interview but I cannot find the video footage anywhere! I tried to get in contact with Rte about it a few years ago but didn’t get too far with it!

[@williamjosephroche2764]

One off the greats

[@agunaful]

Legend

[@bowlingballout]

8:00 spot on. I wish he could have done the whole song.

[@mikeymcnally]

He was some character

[@here_we_go_again2571]

Requiescat In Pace, Liam (1935 -- 2009) There is not a day that passes that I do not listen to or view (video) a song performed by Liam!

[@claney01]

Great interview. Bah humbug to those dissing Ryan - I think he was fine. I saw Pat Kenny interview Liam when he published his autobiography and that was truly a horror show - no respect shown at all.

[@garypace1424]

Vaya con Dios Liam Clancy

[@BernardTunes]

They'll no doubt show this on the late late tonight

[@orckiller91]

LMAO GOTTA LOVE LIAM!!!!!!!!!

[@WarmasterJoshmaul]

Did he say that someone tried to steal Tommy Makem's shoelaces? I understand the taking bits of the sweaters, but SHOELACES?

[@HowManyDonsAreThere]

Hmm. I don't think that's it, but thanks for trying to help me figure it out.

[@newfiecelt]

Go gcoinní Dia i mbos A láimhe thú. RIP Willie

[@The_Gallowglass]

lol rap is just poetry. Some poetry is delivered better than others.

[@Lynnch1]

That Sheriff should have known better!

[@jsodak]

Whinger, the name of the song is "we want no Irish here"...if you search the term "We Want No Irish Here-Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem" on youtube, you can find the video

[@brendanfay1456]

jsodak we want no Irish here

[@peterigoe7757]

I grew up in era of the Clancy brothers and Tommy Makem. They were popular at home and away. They could be heard almost daily on numerous programmes back in the fifties well into the late sixties. May they receive the happiness they so deserve. RI P true legends.

[@HowManyDonsAreThere]

I am not familiar with the phrase he uses at 6:11. "Toting the" what? Does anyone know?

[@beggo321]

I believe it's "toting the guise"

[@dignam77]

Toten the gun. Meaning he was armed even though he was in a club

[@SlightlySusan]

Liam is a class act but that host . . .
