Pub Songs #120: Early Biography of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem

Today's show is dedicated to The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. If you love Celtic music and you're not familiar with the group, you're missing out. They are one of the reasons Gunns & Drums is recording an album called “How America Saved Irish Music”. They're a shining example.

Once again, the show is suffering from some technical difficulties. I hope you will bare with me as I work out all of the details to offer you an awesome live show. This audio recording is filled with clicks. The alternative is you can listen to the show on YouTube, however, the audio quality there is horrible too. So pick one and decide which is the lesser of two evils. Again, my apologies. I hoep you enjoy the show nonetheless.

I will be back next Tuesday morning for the next live show.

Oh! And if you have questions or comments, please post them in the shownotes, or on the YouTube channel. I want to hear your comments. You can also help me choose which song to play in the next show.

  1. Dear Mark, may your podcasts and career last a thousand years! But please dear minstrel, the “live” podcasts #119 and #120 are very hard to hear. The music can be heard, but your monologues are faint and/or scratchy. Your voice all but disappears. This is sad.

    That said, I look forward to #121!

    Sláinte!

    • Hey Elton. Thanks for the feedback. My apologies for the poor sound quality. I’m trying to fix it.

      That said, next week I will fix all the technical difficulties or plan to go back away from the video casts. I’ll do something to make sure all is working properly. Again. Thank you for your patience.
