Wish I had met these two particularly Tommy Makem. They sang with such heartfelt spirit. This particular concert especially moves me. No better Irish songs with all its happiness and lamenting.
long ago, in NYC I often went to the same bar they frequented. Never had the nerve to do anything except long for them to see me. I would've died on my feet if they had.
This is just about when I saw these two in Seattle; two very talented singers, and Tommy Makem wrote many rattlin' good songs. He truly was the Bard of Armagh. And Liam--there are no words for how sweet his voice was.
I love the Dubliners ,raw enthusiastic energy, however the Clancy's and Makem give us a more poetic sophisticated version of Irish folk, both are valued and treasured.
Irish music is proof England tried but never conquer Ireland though they tried everything including genocide starvation. The Clancy's and Tommy Maken gave North America and the world the terrible beauty that is Ireland as Yeats so well wrote it
Singing, acting, and storytelling to the highest standard that is simply unmatched by any Irish Folk duo today. Bravo!
Any duo anywhere….
The songs from this concert will break your heart.
they were very special
Can't say enough about these two.... xoxoxo
Always brings smiles and tears - such deep souls.

Makem & Clancy were both stellar performers and were at the top of their games here.

Beautiful songs and music Makem and Clancy Kind regards Con Horan Newbridge Kildare
Still love these guys - brings happiness and sadness in their songs.
Always brings me tears.
Makem & Clancy were the Irish Simon & Garfunkel. Every bit as entertaining & talented.
@alanmacreamoinn6691 ... They were way above Paul Simon!
Vintage stuff by two music greats😢
