Liam Clancy sang the very first Irish song I ever heard. He had the most wonderful voice!

It’s impossible to overstate their influence on the IrTrad revival, especially when it comes to song. All roads from the past lead through The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem. He’s one of the giants whose shoulders everyone from Bob Dylan to the Pogues stand upon.
Very sad news, it was Liam who inspired me to pick up guitar and start singing. Very touching video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ss2_lk6sA
