AboutThe Clancy Brothers
Profile:
Irish folk band active 1969-1998, an offshoot of The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem
In 1969, after Tommy Makem left the group to go solo, Pat Clancy, Tom Clancy (2) and Liam Clancy recruited brother Bobby Clancy and continued as The Clancy Brothers. This lineup was accompanied by Finbar Furey and Eddie Furey.
Bobby left the group in 1971 and was replaced by Louis Killen, who recorded four albums with them. Liam and Louis left in 1976, and the group went on a brief hiatus.
The band regrouped in 1977 with Pat, Tom, Bobby and nephew Robbie O'Connell.
Liam rejoined the group in 1990, when Tom took ill (he died later that year).
Liam and Robbie left in 1995. The group continued as a live unit of Pat and Bobby, joined by Bobby's son Finbar Clancy (and Ed Dillon for one tour) until Pat's death in 1998, which brought the group to an end.

The Clancy Brothers were an influential Irish folk group that initially developed as a part of the American folk music revival. Most popular in the 1960s, they were famed for their trademark Aran jumpers and are widely credited with popularising Irish traditional music in the United States and revitalising it in Ireland, paving the way for an Irish folk boom with groups like the Dubliners and the Wolfe Tones.
The Clancy Brothers, Patrick "Paddy" Clancy, Tom Clancy, and Liam Clancy, are best known for their work with Tommy Makem, recording almost two dozen albums together as The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. Makem left in 1969, the first of many changes in the group's membership. The most notable subsequent member to join was the fourth Clancy brother, Bobby. The group continued in various formations until Paddy Clancy's death in 1998.
The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem significantly influenced the young Bob Dylan and other emerging artists, including Christy Moore and Paul Brady. The group was famous for its often lively arrangements of old Irish ballads, rebel and drinking songs, sea shanties, and other traditional music.
