tributes to Tommy Makem were carried on RTE, UlsterTV, and BBC-Ireland news this evening. Much of RTE and UTV footage was the same, including memories from nephew Peter Makem and from singing partner Liam Clancy, and also Paddy Maloney of the Chieftains. BBC1 included Tommy Makem speaking about when he sang in the Bogside in support of civil rights, he said it was like a request to sing behind the Berlin wall, and a snippet of 4 Green Fields (I was surprised to see that in this N Ireland-based obituary), and also showed a bit of Tommy's mother Sarah singing, which was very nice to see.
