And now they're all gone

Liam Clancy died on Friday.

This has long been my favorite Makem & Clancy song. May all the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem be singing together again in Heaven.

  2. This truly is sad news. Did you know that Bobby Clancy's son, Finbarr, is in quartet? They are called THE HIGH KINGS and they are fantastic. Hubby and Kiddo and I went to see them last year and had an amazing time. If you haven't head them yet, hop on YouTube and check them out - I KNOW you'll love them. Kiddo's favorite song of theirs is FIELDS OF GLORY ... I have way too many favorites to pick just one. t

  5. Heather, I didn't, and I'll look into them. Thanks so much! I think I recall you mentioning them though?? And isn't that song just so wonderful. I love what Liam C. says at the beginning.

  6. Hi Nan: I too love this song, but I listen to it sung by John McDermott. Whenever I hear it, it always brings a little tear to my eye. Thanks for posting it.
