I just finished reading it and was pretty disappointed, Liam doesn't write that engagingly about his life, though the bits & pieces are interesting. Some events are merely aluded to, big names are dropped, smaller more important names are glossed over. One not knowing anything about the Clancy Bros. might come away thinking Tommy Makem was just an acquaintance. The early history is not quite kosher, I don't think, from other things I know about it, but it is his story to tell as he remembers it. It tends to lean toward the Malachy McCourt side of memoir, salaciously, rather than the Frank McCourt side which is so far superior in style and content. How many thousands of Irish men & women have come to the US in this century, and how much more interesting might thier stories be than this. There is precious little about the music, but the facts are that music was an after thought to the Clancy's, as Liam rightly admits, though doesn't quite explain. The story of the theatrical Clancys isn't really explored in any depth either. I was expecting more, wouldn't need to buy it, as I tried to do, read a library copy and glad I didn't spend the money. It does have an index, which is sorely missed in many autobiographies, but the incidents referred to are not compelling.
