Liam Clancy RIP

[Mr. Monty]

Just reported on the news there that he died this evening in a Cork hospital.

What a legend, a very very sad day for Ireland and for Irish Folk music. The end of the Clancys and Tommy Makem who revolutionised Irish Folk music in the 1960s and inspired many including Bob Dylan.


Tonight Liam I'll raise for you the parting glass,
Good night and God be with you!


Ar dheis De go raibh a anam dilis!

I was only listening to them last night strangely enough and thinking that Liam probably didn't have long left to go. Weird.
