Characterized as the most famous Irish folk singers in the world, the Clancy's and Tommy Makem came together as a singing group in the 1950's. They were ultimately resposible not only for the successful interest in Irish music in the United States, but similarly started a revival of interest in Irish folk songs in Ireland. Sadly, Bobby Clancy passed away on September 6, 2002. Predeceased by Tom (1990), and Paddy (1998), all members of this internationally famous group, there now remains just the youngest brother, Liam, and Tommy Makem of County Armagh, now living in America. But their rich Irish ballads, robustly sung in unison, will live on forever in the hearts of their fans. |
