To the Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem, " many thanks for walking with me every step of the way. We miss you. Thank GOD that we still have your music. GOD BLES AND KEEP YOU FOREVER !
Is this last of the music that gives you a tear in your eye and the shiver down your spine can anyone ever replace them.Lets not go there they have set the bar at a very high limit but please god i hope someone takes up the baton and gives us more of this. This knd of music must be passed on. To the greatest folk group ever thank every one of you for the great standart you set you have all gone but you will be always in our hearts R.I.P
just heard of liam's passing no words can utter what we will all miss. the last of the great folk groups that we had in our time but the music will never leave us and we will never forget the great times that the family alas the clancy brothers gave us liam/ paddy/tom/tommy/ thanks to you all gone but the music will always be with us godbless i know all your family thou sad will take to heart just to know what their great fan club will always be with you and always will be .god bless folk music
When i ask my friends if they know/knew dear Liam Clancy, they looked at my kinda strange and used to say "Who?! or simply no" I felt sad... for them, for not to be able to hear such magnificent melodies of countenance and experience is just a pity, and an incredible loss!
I believe that if they thought how to listen to good music in school instead of Quantic theory of particles; the world would be less cynical and more romantic; rest in peace Liam :°)
Being 24 years young and loving it, I can't help but feel a sense of whenever I die, be it 40, 50, 60, or 100. I hope I can listen to 'A Man You Don't Meet Everyday' and live my life as I do in these days of toil and tribulation, to hear this in my golden years and knew I did right by myself.
About 1960, The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem were frequently on stage at the "Hungry i" with The Smothers Brothers, Bill Cosby, Bob Newhart, Shelley Berman, Professor Irwin Corey, The Limelighters, Jonathan Winters, Rod McKuen, and others. My high school buddies and I learned a few of their songs from the albums we all had. It was wonderful to revisit Liam Clancy with this video.
grew up listening 2 d clancys and tommy that was 4 decades ago and the music is still well ahead of its time and will remain that way as u cant replace class
Great to hear Liam a year + after his death, but I find this the least effective of his versions that I've heard because of the orchestration, however "Celtic" it may sound. It is, I suppose, a version pitched to the taste of a latter-day audience that needs this lushness. But the song was never better than when Liam played it with just his guitar on the first Tradition album in 1959 or so. That was a classic for the ages.
is this version on a record? forgive my ignorance, ive only a cursory knowledge of irish music so far. i have "come fill your glass with us" and the version there just really has half the power as this version does...
@WelcomeToDetroitWimp Yes; and I will never forget it. "Music of Ireland" the first disc is titled "Welcome Home" it is track number 5. They sell it @ all Barnes & Nobles. The CD that I originally had it on, I couldn't find a new copy anywhere but if you want to order that one online it is "Irish Drinking Songs" That is the last track on the album, I don't remember the number. They are both sound just like this, although studio recorded.

@milenaryan yea i actually just picked up 'come fill your glass with us: irish songs of drinking and blackguarding' and parting glass is the last song, of 14 i think, it also has some great others like bold thady quill and finnigans wake, the clancys with tommy makem, great songs.

his son lives on in THE HIGH KINGS you might injoy as well they have their own twist to the tunes but not half bad at all ..my wife and i really injoy them ..haw ever there is a classic feeel that you get from the classics that is missing in randitions done by the new artist of today ..(not to say its bad but you almost feel like its loosing haritage or colture i mean even the irish twang is fading slowing maybe its just me ......buttoms up to the Clancy's
help! i cant stop drinking an and im only 21 not even old enough to drink. I drink a pint ow whiskey a night and im getting the shakes! I need help but dont want it.. I cant stop and wont stop drinking and i dont know what to do,
I saw Liam & Odetta together only about 5 years ago at a folk festival in County Tipperary. I left that night with a new perspective on music. Every beating heart in that audience was enraptured by his endless charisma. Liam had a unique and complete talent. "Because All things must be what they are to their fullness".
i miss all of them, when i first started it was the Clanceys, Tommy Makem, and the Cheiftians. We need to come back to singing irish songs without all the lights and orchestra and such. While i love the High Kings Version, when i hear this one it hits my soul much deeper. Yerra, God Bless all of the above.
It's the reverse story here. I listened to the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem for many years. I later discoverd the Dubliners, Luke and Ronnie. There are all gone; however, I thank CHRIST that we have their music. We are better people for them. GOD BLESS THE CLANCY BROTHERS & TOMMY and the DUBLINERS !
Thank God we still have his and his brothers and Tommy Makems voices to listen to and to cherish. Their passing is a tough Parting Glass to swallow ...I will pass their beautiful music on to my grandchildren
Liam and his brothers plus Tommy Makem were talents and so unique, such as they will not be seen again. Their music was not just songs... but reflections of the lives they'd led.
I had seen them a few times in person, and regret the times I passed. Now they are all gone... but they resurrect every time I play their ablums.
Excellent version by Liam Clancy of a wonderful Scottish Tune, - this tune was as great as Auld Lyne Sang in by gone days of yore in Scotland, home to our forefathers - of us planters here in Ulster. Although it appears now to be an Irish traditional tune, perhaps some folk need to delve a little deeper in to their history books to establish the true origin of tune – it is OK to borrow a tune but not to steal it! Not ever great folk tune is Irish!
@brelfan. The words were written by an English Lawyer which may account for what I feel is their Victorian sentimentality. I remember a BBC program attempting to trace the origins of the tune but beyond concluding that it was based on a lost traditional Irish melody it failed. The present arragement has something to do with an Ulster lady. It does'nt affect the its merits but it matters to those who treasure what little remains of the work of the itinerant harpers who contributed to our culture
@prudence42 If we started delving into history we might ask you scots to return what you borrowed from us - Gaelic, whiskey, the bagpipes, the kilt and even the Lia Fail which we lent to you to lend a bit of credibility to the bloke you wanted to crown -on second thoughts keep it. You see we realised it did'nt work! You might also realise the suitability of "and all the harm that I (we) have done/ alas was done to none but me (ourselves)".Would you like to borrow a sense of humour?
@prudence42 If you look it up on the net you will be advised 'not to be confused with a scottish song of the same name'. However in the wake of the Eiizabethan, Cromwellian and Williamite wars many Irish bards practised their trade in Scotland. Is a song/tune written by an Irishman - ie 'tabhair dom do lambh' or 'Lochaber no more' Irish or Scottish? What would the author say? It doesn't affect the music. But does it matter who wrote 'Hey Jude'?
i grew up with liam, tommy makem and the rest of the clancys singing to me, and i can remember times when their music has really effected my life at certain points, as im sure all of you can. artists, angels, pillars of the irish community, this is truly the end of an era. this was the last song liam ever performed, and a fitting one.
It's hard to remember the firestorm from traditionalists over the early Clancy bros and Tommy Makem recordings. Liam had a way with a ballad, none more so than this beautiful rose. Rest in peace mo chara.
i love this song... i just heard it in the May 9th 2010 "Brothers and Sisters" Season 5 episode entitled "Lights Out". It was sung at the end of the episode by Canadian Actor Luke MacFarlane who plays Scotty in the show.
Cheers to Liam Clancy, In the past 10 years I too discovered the Clancy Brothers. Missed opportunities to see them in person prior to discovering their brand of music. I have found the folk music to be far beyond the title "Irish Drining Songs" that initially drew me to them. It is sad that the world has lost another inspiring poet, songwriter. Life is truly far too short. RIP Liam.
Maidin mhaith! Beannacht Lá Fhéile Pádraig mo chairde! Have a good one. RIP Liam.
I will be celebrating and indulging in the black stuff tonight at the Irish embassy in Budapest.
This is one of my all time favourite Irish songs and wherever this finds you after tonight's fun "So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all"
just putting together an ignite five minute 20 slide presentation I'm doing in Budapest tomorrow night. Gonna sing a bit of this before the final yes I said yes I will yes finale! Trieste-Zurich-Paris 1914-1921
I first saw the Clancys in my hometown of Dundee, Scotland in the 1960`s and have been playing their music ever since. So sad that they have now all passed on - there will never be another voice such as Liam`s. They are all sorely missed.
I've discovered Irish music a few years ago, but frankly I didn't have any idea of the Clancys back then because I only listened to The Dubliners (which are legends, too). But soon I found out who the Clancys were and I couldn't imagine a life without their music.
I was very sad when I noticed a month ago that the greatest balladeer ever and the last one of the legendary Clancys had died.
I love to hear their songs and enjoy singing them as often as possible.
@Thanatos55555 The Clancy spirit lives on still in Finbarr Clancy, son of Bobby and one-quarter of the High Kings. Hell of a nice guy too. Had the pleasure of a few minutes chat with him in Providence RI a few years back.
Years ago, I heard Ronnie Drew and The Dubs; however, being a Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem fan, I kept listening to Liam, his brothers and Tommy. I recently discoverd the Dubliners. Both Ronnie and Liam captured Ireland's musical soul and gave it back us. Could we have asked for more?
The most terrible thing about the parting of Liam, Paddy, Bobby and the two Tommys is who's there to really fill their boots? Men such as this shouldn't be allowed pass on. Such talent.
@iknklst i cant personally say i think the world is a better place, but i can say his music helps emphasize the good, and filter the bad, good music helps the optimism in my head.
I think this song was sung at each Clancy-funeral (Paddy, Tom, Bobby and Liam). You also can see it in the video "Paddy Clancy Memorial - Clancy Brothers", which is on Youtube, too.
We never met Liam but I feel I knew you. You were the real deal the full package...singer, musician actor with the soul of a poet. You used to quote Baudelaire the French poet on stage, in years to come they will quote you. You had the glint of a rogue in your eye and I would say you could charm anyone with the lost boy look. You said you were the last man standing of the five.You will be the last of them forgotten too. Tonight I will raise a parting glass to you.Sleep well.
Your voice caressed my soul and my heart is heavy with the news of your passing. I have learned to tell a tale and hold a tune grace be to you. Rest now with heavens troubadors, for your work is surely complete, Good night and joy be to you Liam, go raibh mile maith agat!
Liam the last Irish Troubadour of my time, raise a parting glass to you - thanks for the music, story and song and fond memories your wonderful voice and rendition would move me to tears and I shed some when I heard last night of your departure - Slan
Oh NO....Clancy and Makem, my most favorite 'pair' o' folk singers. I remember learning 'The Garden Song' from their recording when I was in Ireland. Mary Travis, Liam Clancy RIP 2 of my most favorite singers of traditional folk ballads...I am VERY sad!
What a f***ing disgrace! I drop in to see my favorite performer sing a classic and I get f***ing Obama ad!

Cheers to Liam Clancy, In the past 10 years I too discovered the Clancy Brothers. Missed opportunities to see them in person prior to discovering their brand of music. I have found the folk music to be far beyond the title "Irish Drining Songs" that initially drew me to them. It is sad that the world has lost another inspiring poet, songwriter. Life is truly far too short. RIP Liam.

Maidin mhaith! Beannacht Lá Fhéile Pádraig mo chairde! Have a good one. RIP Liam.
I will be celebrating and indulging in the black stuff tonight at the Irish embassy in Budapest.
This is one of my all time favourite Irish songs and wherever this finds you after tonight's fun "So fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all"

Clearly, nobody seems to sing this well compared to Liam Clancy. Everyone else seems boring or silly.

I had the pleasure of listening to Liam sing Carrickfergus after hours at the Black Rose in Boston in the early 80s.
Bob Dylan is right, the best ballardeer ever. God Rest.

I first saw the Clancys in my hometown of Dundee, Scotland in the 1960`s and have been playing their music ever since. So sad that they have now all passed on - there will never be another voice such as Liam`s. They are all sorely missed.

I've discovered Irish music a few years ago, but frankly I didn't have any idea of the Clancys back then because I only listened to The Dubliners (which are legends, too). But soon I found out who the Clancys were and I couldn't imagine a life without their music.
I was very sad when I noticed a month ago that the greatest balladeer ever and the last one of the legendary Clancys had died.
I love to hear their songs and enjoy singing them as often as possible.
I hope you found peace, Liam. R.I.P

@Thanatos55555 The Clancy spirit lives on still in Finbarr Clancy, son of Bobby and one-quarter of the High Kings. Hell of a nice guy too. Had the pleasure of a few minutes chat with him in Providence RI a few years back.

@Thanatos55555 Well said.
Years ago, I heard Ronnie Drew and The Dubs; however, being a Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem fan, I kept listening to Liam, his brothers and Tommy. I recently discoverd the Dubliners. Both Ronnie and Liam captured Ireland's musical soul and gave it back us. Could we have asked for more?

The most terrible thing about the parting of Liam, Paddy, Bobby and the two Tommys is who's there to really fill their boots? Men such as this shouldn't be allowed pass on. Such talent.

@leonpat2002 i agree , Liam's son will never be as good as him, but finbarr clancy is a really good musician, but still you are right

I think this song was sung at each Clancy-funeral (Paddy, Tom, Bobby and Liam). You also can see it in the video "Paddy Clancy Memorial - Clancy Brothers", which is on Youtube, too.

We never met Liam but I feel I knew you. You were the real deal the full package...singer, musician actor with the soul of a poet. You used to quote Baudelaire the French poet on stage, in years to come they will quote you. You had the glint of a rogue in your eye and I would say you could charm anyone with the lost boy look. You said you were the last man standing of the five.You will be the last of them forgotten too. Tonight I will raise a parting glass to you.Sleep well.
