Somewhere in my memory I remember seeing them live - something to treasure for ever - this is a sad loss - but memories will always keep the Clancy Brothers alive!
May he join the others and perform in the eternal resting ground to the enjoyment of many souls!
also USA guitarist JACK ROSE, R.I.P.
Liam Clancy is a massive loss to the world of music. Bob Dylan proclaimed him to be the 'greatest ballad singer' of all time, and few would dispute this. I was lucky to see him many years ago along with Tommy Makem, a memory I will treasure always. Rest in peace Liam, the Holy Ground is yours forever.
