Little Beggerman - The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem [1/4]

[upaluppa]

This is pure gold, the Clancy's and Tommy at their best!

I can't thank you enough for sharing this!

These guys and their music were so great, it's so sad that young generations like myself are missing out on this. We don't have anything even remotely comparable to them nowadays...

[NorCalFolkSinger]

The Clanceys, Tommy Makem and Pete Seeger are all awesome.

[WmHildy]

The Clancys are great, but too bad the "Old Communist" couldn't be edited out, so this could really be pleasurable....

[proticalsonn]

@WmHildy communist, thats funny if a person believes in something different he has to be criticized for a belief no body is disrespecting what you believe i guess the competition can never end between americans and ex-soviets, in case you havent took a look around capitalisam or what use to be democracy isent working so well how will you take the insults hurled at you in the future

[RootsinBrooklyn]

No frills here. Looks like the same set that was used for 'The Honeymooners'. But what a great show.

The focus was the music, presented plain and simple. Nice to see the young Clanceys and Tommy.

[HughieDixon]

Seeger looks old in this vid and he's still going lol

[RootsinBrooklyn]

@HughieDixon

'Old' must be in the eye of the beholder. He looks like a man in his 40s. So, I guess if you're 10, that's old.

[HughieDixon]

@RootsinBrooklyn ok bad choice of word. Seeger doesn't look like a spring chicken but he's still going. haha.

[maidenrulz73]

[ichbineintoober]

That old communist looks like something i cleaned off my boot but I love the Clancy bros.

[IrishandFolkmusic]

[bettyswollex]

[ChrisEarl102]

@ichbineintoober Pete Seegers family can be traced to the coming of the mayflower have some respect.

[claporburncandles]

@ichbineintoober why do you want to waste your energy insulting people for outdated reasons?

[masterchiefer123]

@ichbineintoober

fucking idiot

[ichbineintoober]

@masterchiefer123 good part's at 2:26

[funkgerat]

@ichbineintoober I'm a conservative and I still love and respect Pete Seeger.

"I still call myself a communist, because communism is no more what Russia made of it than Christianity is what the churches make of it."
