The Clancy Brothers Live in Tipperary, Ireland 1995

When I was 14, I gathered all the information I needed to go to Ireland, the Clancy's being the main spur in the quest. Well, I never made it, to my great sorrow. The years went by, as did my youth, passing to the responsibilities of maturity. After 9/11, then came the time for my adopting mother to pass - the last of the adopting family that raised me. My wife was rummaging through all the old papers that were left hidden away in the home, including my original secreted birth certificate. It read, along with my birthdate, more than 50 years past, "Robert Allen Odonald." I exclaimed, "D***! I KNEW I was Irish all along!"

The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem were part of our family's deepest roots, I'm 63 now and my eyes get misty from time to time, listening now is one of those times..

My grandparents came to the US from England in the early 1900’s. They were both from County Mayo. They died when I was in my early 20’s. How I wish I was older so I could have asked them about Ireland. Now I’m 81 and have so many things I want to ask. It never dawned on me when I was a child how brave they were.

My little boy is 15 months old and his favorite song is The Good Ship Calibar. We listen to it everyday on the way to daycare. He claps and beams from ear to ear. I am proud to pass this down to him.

These brothers and Tommy Makem were a big part of my childhood and teenage years. Never lost the love of their music.. They're all gone now, but the songs and joy will live on forever.. thanks boys... Bob from Bradenton Florida...

If you are Irish then you know we cannot be beaten. We persevere and keep going. Look at your children and grandchildren. They are our future. Happiness to everybody

My Grandmother was born in Galway and emigrated to NZ in 1916, she never did see her parents again and I never met her, she died three years before I was born, but I have warm memories of her two sisters that came out later, what wonderful women they were

There must not be a more joyful experience anyplace than to join your cousins, nephews, brothers, and uncles on stage playing instruments and singing the beloved traditional songs of your people. Like Tom Clancy who went on before, these other brothers, Liam, Bobby, Paddy and nephew Robbie O'Donnell will soon follow him offstage, but their music will go on forever wherever the Irish people get together with guitar, banjo, bodhran and pipes and raise their voices together in song. I am very appreciative of the Clancys and all that they shared in America, Ireland and around the world with their music. This leaves Finnbarr to carry on a marvelous tradition...

RIP Clancy Brothers.Thanks for all the great music.

Grew up on Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. I’m 75 and they still bring me back to my family’s roots! ❤️❤️💚🍀💚🍀

IN 1966-67 I live in NYC and used to go to the Minemsha bar, which the Clancys frequented. I was only 21 and just to be in the same room was such a thrill. Still love them.

I have loved the Clancy Brothers for over 50 years. They have only become better. I morned the loss of Liam Clancy. Theirs is a unique form of music and excellent. If you do not like their music, listen to Kiss or something more to your liking. Why dislike them? I failed to mention Tommy Makem. He always added a pleasant addition to their music. Count me as a permanent fan.

I thought everyone went to their Grandmothers house on Sunday had dinner and lisson to The Clancy Brothers.  40+ years ago.  Sure do miss those days and my Grandmother.

These brothers and Tommy Makes were a big part of my childhood and on to my teenage years.

fantastic - The Clancys were the leaders in bringing Irish music to the world

What a gifted family that has brought a lot of joy to a lot of people and tommy makem too

When the Clancy brothers were learning their trade, in the fifties, they were very regular visitors to our house. Dr Kevin McCann, my dad, had an astounding knowledge of Irish traditional music, and the brothers wished to know more about their craft. Such wonderful memories of their music, songs, wit, and laughter. Feeling nostalgic...💚

I'm missing my grandmother, Donna Patricia Riley today. Blessings to you all, Irish and not.

OMG. The song about the letters from Kiilkelly, mayo, Ireland to John who went to America. That’s like totally my family history. My family is from Ballina. Made me cry.

I saw these fine musicians at Bishop Ford Catholic School back in 1980s, when Tom Clancy was still with us☆☆☆
