The Clancys and Tommy were actors. They were professional entertainers in the best sense of the word. They had their own integrity and individuality. They wanted to sanitze nothing in my view. They sang from their hearts and they had a helluva good time doing it, so much that those of us around them learned to love Irish music. Tommy Makem is a treasure who's integrity should not be questioned in any way as far as I'm concerned. The boys always put on a great show and offered a program of substance, important content and with a terrific sense of humor.
