Re The Clancys singing Parting Glass at a funeral of one of their number. It wasn't Liam's funeral - thankfully he is still with us and is pretty much 'last man standing' of that scene. The funeral in question was that of Paddy Clancy, the eldest of the brothers (just over 10 years ago). It was sung at his graveside by Liam & Bobby Clancy, Tommy Makem, Ronnie Drew, Finbar Fury, Paddy Reilly and others. This was featured in the documentary tribute to Paddy, all of which is on Youtube - this being the link to part one of three. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6j-JlAN5Fh4
