Thread Name: Memories of Liam Clancy
Subject: RE: Memories of Liam Clancy
A few years ago Liam dropped in to the Nenagh Singers Circle. He was there to meet Warp 4 who had recorded a CD on which he was a guest. Warp 4 were our guests that night.

The following day we arranged to meet in Derek Browne's pub in Nenagh at around 12 mid day. Liam walked in playing his concertina, a grand entry. We had a superb evening of singing within our circle with everybody taking there tur. Lima took his turn as the songs went round the room. I think averyone in Nenagh called into Derek Browne's that day and when Liam sang he had everybody either singing or lsitening to every word. There were only a half a dozen of us singers at this totally informal event and we each sang 4 or 5 songs. He also had some very wise quotation mainly from Shakespeare.

Such an intelligent and convenial fellow and a pleasure to be in his company.

A delightful day never to be forgotten.
