"Seems to be an attempt to fill the gap left by The Clancy Brothers, designed for the American market, painfully un-original but very polished with a lot of push behind them."

Hi Dennis,

Do you really think so? I see absolutely nothing of The Clancy Brothers in their show. I like to hear solid harmony which The High Kings have. I don't like the High Production show which the kings do as well. So I never watch them. If I want to watch eye candy and white bread music with zero excitement I'll watch the Celtic Men or The Celtic Women. harmonically I hear more of The Tannahill Weavers in The High Kings than I do The Clancy bros.

The Makem and Spain Brothers are more like The Clancy's than anyone else and I like their show a ton.

Don
