More on Liam Clancy
Description from Wikipedia:
William 'Liam' Clancy (born on September 2, 1935) (Irish;Liam Mac Fhlannchadha) is an Irish folk singer. With his brothers Tom, and Patrick Clancy, as well as Tommy Makem, he was part of the popular group The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem.
Liam is the youngest of the Clancy Brothers, and as a child was known as William or Willie. He displayed an artistic disposition at an early age, while growing up in Carrick-on-Suir, Co. Tipperary. While still in his teens, Liam explored writing and painting, though he was particularly drawn to the theatre. In his early performing days, he began to call himself Liam rather than William or Willie. Before he was twenty years old, Liam had founded the local dramatic society and had produced, directed, set-directed, and starred in The Playboy of the Western World. Liam also performed at the renowned Gaiety Theatre in Dublin.
In 1955, American song-collector Diane Hamilton arrived at the Clancy's home while on a song-collecting tour of Ireland. Liam joined her on the trip to Keady, Co. Armagh, where they met the singer Sarah Makem and her son, Tommy. Both Liam and Tommy emigrated to the United States the following year, pursuing careers in acting, both on stage and television.
Liam began singing with his brothers at fund-raising events for the Cherry Lane Theatre and the Guthrie benefits. The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem, began recording on Paddy Clancy's "Tradition" label in the late 50s. A record-breaking 16 minute long performance on The Ed Sullivan Show launched the group into stardom. The quartet recorded numerous albums for Columbia Records and enjoyed great success during the '60s folk revival. He was a close friend of Bob Dylan when they both were going out with two sisters in New York. He performed live for President John F. Kennedy.
