A poet, a brilliant voice to recite poetry, and a great storyteller, but above all, a great singer!

my brothers and i have been singing irish folk music for 50 years ,,, inspired by the clancy bros and tommy makem ... got to open for liam several times back in the 70s ... thrill of a lifetime when liam picked up his concertina to play "fiddlers green " ... he turned to me sitting by the side of the stage and said " grab the guitar and back me up here " ... i did so and sang lustfully on the chorus ... i'll never forget that !!!

Never been so moved by a musician, the passion that he has for the music is beautiful to watch. He was (still is) the finest singer I’ve ever heard. I was at a pogues gig when I found out that he’d passed away. Shane mumbled something along the lines of “this one’s for Liam Clancy, god rest his soul” before launching in to the Irish rover. Didn’t know whether to dance or cry, so I just did both. What a man

The only way I could describe this icon is to say he made love to his audience…slowly sometimes, sensitively, deeply, sometimes robustly shall we say but ALWAYS with passion. Liam brought us right into the story he was telling, letting us borrow his eyes to see what he wanted us to see from his point of view which was always from his heart. “We shall not look upon his like again.”

I am turning 71 next February. My first trip to Ireland was in 2007 and in July this year I was blessed to be there again. My first Irish Songs I ever heard was an LP by Peggy and Bobby Clancy: "Songs from Ireland". There was an expression in a song I did not understand: "faith I", so I sent a mail to Bobby's daughter Aoife asking her to explain that expression. And she kindly answered me. Thx Aoife and up to now I appreciate Irish music. Clancy Familly: Great musicians. And with inet their legacy is saved.Greetings from Rosenheim, Bavaria.

What a performance. Liam Clancy, you are tremendous. Thank you. I wish I had been there.

Go with God Liam. Thanks for the memories

Thank you for this upload - it’s like unexpectedly coming across the gold at the end of the rainbow and just what I needed right now!

Liam Clancy was amazing in many ways - his capacity to go from passion to tenderness almost cannot be equaled except perhaps by Tommy Makem. But as a singer, for me it's two things: his diction, clear as a bell, I can hear and understand every word - the words are the story. To be a great balladeer, the singer must make them heard or we lose the story. And his intense, genuine feeling, especially tenderness in his singing. "The Dutchman" is almost overwhelming in the feeling of tenderness he gives it - brings tears. Liam Clancy was the best - and also as a human being. Bob Dylan said in an interview that Liam used to say to him (after multiple pints drunk): "No fear. No enemies. No meanness." That was Liam.

I'm in Vermont in the U.S. and we have a large group here called Young Tradition Vermont - it's wonderful how many young people here are learning the fiddle and Celtic ballads.

@@georgianwindow This is a second reply - about "The Dutchman" - I just listened to a singer in Celtic Thunder sing it - now these young men are wonderful singers. And they do the old ballads. But he was just too young to understand the feeling in this song. That will come as he grows older and deeper in his own experience.

Conor: Just discovered your wonderful upload of Liam, one of the truly great balladeers of the 20th century. I remember following the Clancy Brothers back in the 60's when they were the hottest thing going in the Greenwich Village folk scene. Bob Dylan once commented that the best singer of this sort of music he had ever encountered was Liam Clancy. What a great tribute. The Ballad of St. Anne's Reel has always been one of my favorites but this is the first time I have heard Liam sing it. Wonderful Stuff. Pay no attention to the mean spirited comments about Burns. Great poets and poetry know no nationality. Regards, Doug Owen.

Liam seems like he really enjoyed singing/entertaining. Believe it or not I have a little kitty, about a year old and she will get up close to my pc and watch and listen to Liam, she also loves Tommy Makem

I tried to ‘jig’ with friends one evening- thought I was going to die!!!! Wonderful music. ... stephenx

Thank you!!! Liam Clancy's voice is what dragged me into Irish music as a teenager. I also came for one song but now I'm stuck...!!! Thanks so much.

Thank you so much for uploading, that was just beyond beautiful. I came to listen to one song, and stayed for the rest.

What an absolute genius of pure balladeer/folk entertainment. Attended one of his performances with Tommy Mackem in the late seventies. Their banter and slagging with each other, mixed with ballad, is still vivid in my memory. I still know most of their performances (songs) off by heart. He was rightly credited for his performances by Bob Dylan.

Great memories of a brilliant balladeer

Brilliant. No more needs to be said.

Thinking about you always Dennis Duffield...Dad ..RIP

Such a wonderful voice, and a great ear for singer-songwriters... making them all at least a little Irish (and leaving some folks thinking the songs are by that guy "trad/anon")... Ballad of St. Anne's Reel and The Garden Song by David Mallett of Maine, All God's Critters and Roseville Fair by Bill Staines of New Hampshire, The Dutchman by Michael Peter Smith of Chicago, a couple by Ewan McColl & Robert Burns, Stan Rogers' Mary Ellen Carter, Eric Bogle's "The Band Played...," and maybe a couple I missed. Go find the originals too! Buy their records, especially if they're still alive like David, Bill, Michael and Eric.

We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep." What I'm asking ye in Shakespheare's words is "Have ye no homes to go to" We're going to leave ye and love ye. Thanks for coming. We're going to leave ye with a song called Journey's End.
