The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem

 

The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem are a family of Irish singers and musicians who have made Irish music extremely popular, both in Ireland and in the United States where they emigrated. The brothers were; Liam, Paddy, and Tom Clancy; later Tommy Makem joined. They contributed greatly to the renewal of the folk revival in the fifties and sixties of the last century. Tom and Pat emigrated to the USA in the early 1950s and became actors. Liam and his friend Tommy Makem, born in Keady, County Armagh the son of ballad singer Sarah Makem, went to the U.S. in 1956.

The Clancys performed and made albums until 1969; then Makem decided to pursue a solo career and later Liam left the group in 1975 and was replaced by his brother Bobby Clancy and their cousin Robbie O'Connell. Later Liam formed a duo again with Tommy Makem. The original members later reunited only for memorial concerts.

Tom Clancy died in 1990 and his brother Paddy died of cancer in 1998. An RTE news clip showed the funeral where Liam and Bobby Clancy, Ronnie Drew, Finbar Furey and Paddy Reilly, accompanied by John Sheahan, sang The Parting Glass and thus paid tribute to an interpreter of Irish traditional music. Bobby Clancy died on September 9, 2002. Liam had a close friendship with Luke Kelly of The Dubliners and shared their songs with each other. Ultimately, The Clancys and Tommy Makem produced 55 albums and toured numerous times in Ireland, Great Britain and the USA. Liam Clancy died on December 4, 2009
