I became hooked on my Dad's 'Live at Carenegie Hall' album when I was about 8 or 9 years old and everything I've done since since has stemmed from that early influence. I learned to play guitar along to their music, some of Liam's occasional punchy guitar style (e.g. Reilly's Daughter) still comes through today. I still perform the Castle of Dromore in the style I learnt it over thirty years ago.   I saw The CB and TM in liverpool in about 1969 and still cherish the memory, Tommy's 'Butcher Boy' still a gem especially. Really saddened too to hear of his illness.

I remember seeing the reunion concert on tape and noticing that I never actually heard Tom Clancy's vocals at any time on the recording although he appeared to be singing in the group choruses, probably miming. I assumed he was ill (he looked ill) and the group were covering for him to make the concert happen. Made me feel very sad. Would love to hear from someone that he did actually sing at that concert

My brother and I still meet up once or twice a year and at the end of the night when the guitar comes out usually end up singing just the entire Carnegie Hall album through from memory, shelakaboukee (sp)and all, for the memory.

Heading for the record cabinet...
