Three Tune Tuesday 65 - Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem Tribute

Hi Everyone

This week for @ablaze s Three Tune Tuesday I am paying tribute to the memory of The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem

The Clanys , Tom ,Paddy and Liam were all from Tipperary ,Tommy Makem was from Belfast.

They became famous after appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1961 .The sang and made popular old Irish folk songs.

This week I would like to take a shot of singing 3 tunes I was inspired to learn after hearing thier versions.

This first song is from that Ed Sullivan show in 1961 , It is called "The Rising Of The Moon" and tells the tale of a battle fought during The Irish Rebellion of 1798.
The Captian who ked the Irish rebels agiant the Britsh was called Theobald Wolfe Tone which I think
may well be the greatest name I have ever heard.

This second song is one I really enjoyed playing for guys this week.Its called "Tell me Ma When I go Home"

This last song is from The Clanys and Tommy Makem Reunion whcih was record in 1984 in the Grand City Hall in New York.Before this concert the 4 of them hadnt played a concert together since 1969.

The song is called "The Rare Old Mountian Dew" its about making illegal booze in The Mountians :).
