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.
