I think this vid is from the International Cafe series which played on Channel 11 WTTW in Chicago. I remember these shows were my first exposure to Irish folk music at the age of 10 and I vowed at that time to marry Tommy Makem and never listened to anything but their music 'til I was grown up. Looking back even now I can see why I fell for Tommy M. He was a flirt AND a sexy as hell singer. Great memories. Thanks for this vid!

Tommy Makem is a marvelous vocalist, and eventually became a consummate showman. In this early video, though, he seems almost shy. Is anyone else seeing that, or is it my imagination?

I see it, too. Our Mr. Makem doesn't seem to be having as much fun as the rest of the lads, does he? =/

He's having more good craic than the Clancys put together but he's subtle and genuine. The Clancy brothers tend to be far more stagey than our Tommy.

He's anything but shy! He's made the song lyrics fit - mentioning his home town of Keady and watch those expressions! he is marvelous!

@johndcorr I don't think he was shy, I'm pretty sure he was flirting with every girl in there while he was singing this. You can even see him chatting up a lady at the beginning of the song.

@yournameislimitless Are you familiar with Jerry Seinfeld’s term ‘a close talker’?… I don’t know what it was that made Tommy appear shy---I do see it myself (on film) but he was not shy atallatall.
