    as long as your listening to the Clancy Brothers it doesnt matter how many bottles you have consumed; Im only 22 years young and these lads are a constant in my car playing and a constant in my life... My only regret is that I wasnt born 35 years earlier to see these lads live....

    They don't make them like this anymore this reminds me of my dad and uncle. My uncle was always the story teller of the family. My uncle even ran the Irish echo paper in New York. Thanks for sharing this.

    God bless the Clancy brothers and Tommy Makem. What a bunch of great entertainers. God bless Wilma Wade, librarian at Central High School in 1961 who turned me on to Tommy, the Clancys and Celtic music.

    I was there that evening for their concert and what a grand evening it was, I too perform these songs, but alas these boyos know how to deliver a song and story. And with these videos they live on for a new generation to discover. Slainte!

    I was at the University of Maine where the Maine State theater resides. I could not get in, so MPBN, (East Maine PBS affiliate,) broadcast this live for those who could not get into that packed house. It was an awesome show.

    His description of an Irish wake is the standard by which all other descriptions must be judged.
    Now when the gentleman starts reciting James Joyce, don't panic. You need to either be dead drunk or possess an IQ of about 500 to make sense of James Joyce. If you can, just sit back and watch and listen to that most lovely Irish brogue, its sound and cadence. It has been said that the Irish brogue is second in sweetness only to the sound of angels singing, so just watch and listen.

    well said my friend,I say this to you as a 46-year-old Irish man living under British occupation in a part of the North of Ireland known as South Derry or in Gaelic/Irish,Doire. But if you look on a map you will notice it is now called "Londonderry" We have tried our best to get it officially changed back to Derry, as 95% of the citizens of our once proud county wish for. But, ah, our wishes mean nothing to our occupiers. Britain is probably the most hated nation on the face of this once great Earth that we all should share, followed closely by Israel and the war-hungry USA. British actions in the past are the cause of the vast majority of disputes occurring today across many continents. These disputes will go on and on and on until each country has their sovereignty reinstated. I say this without any hatred for you, my friend. As I am sure you agree,I am merely stating a fact. The unfortunate truth is,,, like yourself, the ordinary British people never ever started a conflict.It has always been the blood hungry elites of your once good nation.Just do your best to persuade your rulers to give back what they plundered and pillaged.Britain has stolen any wealth theese peaceful nations had.Surely,the only reason for holding on now is purely a power trip!We should not forget how simple it was for Britain to take all theese nations.IIt was not because Britain had some mysteriously great warriors.No,it was because the nations that Britain plundered and pillaged had no armys!Before Britain(and now in the modern times,America) there was no need for an army to protect its citizens.Now this once great planet that we live on is awash with armys.Does that not say something?
