Another Music Friday is here and this time we will be featuring great folk music from artists from Ireland, Scotland, Canada and the US.

So sit back and listen this beautiful music and these wonderful singers as they sing to us about the world, themselves and ourselves. If you don’t have time to listen to them all now come back over the weekend – we’re open 24/7 Remember every time you play one of these songs you not only get to hear some great music but you help the artist climb up the charts at ReverbNation.

Liam Clancy dies

Jane Woods — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 20:00:34 +0000

Fanrealm is sad to report that Liam Clancy has died. Liam was the last surviving Clancy Brother. Clancy immigrated to the US in the mid 50s and he and his brothers began to make a name for themselves in the folk music world. Bob Dylan said Liam Clancy was the best ballad singer he had heard in his life. The Clancy Brothers, along with their friend Tommy Makem, really took off after a 1961 appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. They were actually the very first act I ever saw live and I believe they were largely responsible for my life long love of Celtic Music. This talent will be surely missed.

Fanrealm’s condolences go out to Mr Clancy’s family, friends and fans around the globe.
