Subject: RE: Liam Clancy, Health (June 2009) From: GUEST Date: 24 Mar 20 - 08:12 AM This thread should probably acknowledge Liam Clancy died in december 2009. |
Subject: RE: Liam Clancy, Health (June 2009) From: Felipa Date: 23 Mar 20 - 07:18 PM thinking about Liam as I read that one may survive a severe bout of Corona virus and be left with the serious condition of pulmonary fibrosis. Liam's brother Bobby also had pulmonary fibrosis. |

Subject: RE: Liam Clancy, Health From: Maryrrf Date: 19 Jun 09 - 09:08 PM I too have fond memories of The Clancy Brothers (and Tommy). Get well, Liam! |
Subject: RE: Liam Clancy, Health From: gnu Date: 19 Jun 09 - 08:38 PM I can't help but think of the night I got a call from south about Tommy. And, when I do, I think about the song by Rawlins Cross which was written the night the Emile Benoit died called Long Night. It's a song that will always reverberate in my mind when we lose another of the good ones. |

Subject: RE: Liam Clancy, Health From: GUEST,TJ in San Diego Date: 18 Jun 09 - 06:45 PM I'll echo that from San Diego. Liam and his brothers, along with Tommy Makem, supplied a lot of energy and a great deal of good humor to go with their music. A whole new generation of young people were exposed to Irish music thanks to them. |

Subject: Liam Clancy, Health From: Jim Lad Date: 18 Jun 09 - 06:26 AM This was reported in Irish Music Magazine after the Clancy Festival ** CLANCY SHOW BECOMES IMPROMPTU CLANCY TRIBUTE Liam Clancy is unwell. He should have headlined the Saturday night concert at Carrick on Suir's Clancy Brother's Festival on June 13th but was unable to attend due to poor health. His manager David Teevan apologised to the 600+ sell out crowd and told them that Liam was suffering from fibrosis of the lungs which made it difficult for him to breath and he reluctantly would not be able to sing this evening. The singer Maxi had visited Liam earlier in the afternoon, as part of a writing project she is carrying out and said he was in great spirits, was working on editing an autobiographical movie, and she conveyed his best wishes and apologies for not being 100% to perform on the night. Each act on the night spoke warmly about Liam and all were quick to add that his contribution to our lives was immeasureable. The show became a tribute to Liam Clancy, it included performances by Kevin Evans, members of Danu and a finale led by Liams' nephew Finbarr Clancy. We send our best wishes to Liam and his family and wish him a speedy recovery. Cheers Sean L ** http://www.irishmusicmagazine.com/news/ |
