I considered putting this historic clip under "Celtic Culture" as it is definitely part of Irish Musical History and Heritage.
However, I decided to put it on here for two reasons:
1) As a tribute to Finbarr and his great Tipperary family, with deepest respect from a long-time fan. My Dad loved them too....
This is his personal heritage. He must be very proud of his Dad, and of course his 3 Uncles, who came to the USA intending to be actors, and eventually became one of the best known and loved Groups in Irish Music, in the USA, Ireland and Europe.
2) Because there were not many entries on this page!
This gives a summary of the story of the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem.
They sing some of their most famous numbers, including a few rousing Rebel songs:
(Rebel Songs have fallen out of favour now, but are undeniably a part of History and some of the best tunes)
