The Clancy Brothers were a renowned Irish folk music singing group that emerged to fame in the late 1950s and became one of the most popular bands of the 1960s folk scene. Originally from County Tipperary, Ireland, the band was composed of the brothers Paddy, Tom, and Liam Clancy, along with their friend Tommy Makem. They were best known for their rousing performances, traditional Irish tunes, and Aran sweaters, which became a trademark of their stage appearance.
The Clancy Brothers, along with Tommy Makem, emigrated to the United States where they initially sought out acting careers before turning their collective talents toward music. Their spirited performances at Greenwich Village's burgeoning folk venues captured the attention of audiences and their career took off after a legendary 1961 performance on "The Ed Sullivan Show." They played a pivotal role in popularizing Irish folk music in America and beyond, influencing contemporary artists and contributing to the folk revival of the era. Their extensive discography preserved traditional Irish music and culture, including such albums as "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" and "The Parting Glass," ensuring their legacy as pillars of Irish folk music.
