The Yellow Bittern, The Life and Times of Liam Clancy Official Trailer

Element Pictures Distribution released The Yellow Bittern, the Life and Times of Liam Clancy in cinemas and now available on DVD.

THE YELLOW BITTERN, a new feature documentary from Alan Gilsenan, is a revealing and surprising portrait of the man Bob Dylan called the best ballad singer Id ever heard in my whole life. Still is, probably.

This intimate, confessional yet highly cinematic film charts the remarkable rise to fame of the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem from their small-town beginnings in County Tipperary in Ireland to the folk hey-day of Greenwich Village in the Sixties where they absorbed black musical influences and out-sold the Beatles. But these devil-may-care Irish actors (as they were then) were, in turn, to influence a host of artists from Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger to The Pogues.

But this darkly revealing portrait also goes behind the mask of the performer and delves into the psyche of Liam Clancy and his troubled personal life where the excesses of rock-and-roll found their way in to the world of folk.

Liam Clancy was the Chieftain of song.

He pulled the songs from a long way back.

The words of the rambling poets of Ireland ran though his blood.

RIP

May you Rest in Peace Liam. May the soil of of your beloved Rínn in Port Lairge lay lightly upon you.
