Bakers Bar, Clonmel

 

Doors open at 7pm;

Show at 7.30 pm.

 

 

 

Clonmel World Music is delighted to host the first headline gig with an exciting new young band from The Deise.

The Clancy Boys are a special bunch of young lads with great musical pedigree, doing the old songs their own way.

 

The Clancy Boys are:

Colm Clancy (vocals, guitar, banjo)

Liam Clancy (vocal, spoons, bodhran)

Fiachna Ó Lochlainn (vocals, bodhran and whatnot)

Molua Mac Seain (vocals and guitar)

Dinny Ó Gealbháin ( fiddle and vocals)

 

They are devilish, and a touch wild, young fellows who sing the old ballads for the craic.

They have their inimitable own style of doing things, and a lot of time it just happens in the moment.

Most of the songs are old songs they got from their grandparents, or from family gatherings, but they put their own stamp on them.

 

Songs like the Jolly Tinker, Bold O Donoghue, The Mermaid, Sound the Piobrach, and The Wild Rover get The Clancy Boys special treatment

 

A fun night is guaranteed.

 

You want to be able to say “I was there for the first big gig of this group”

 

Doors open at 7pm, and show is at 7.30 pm sharp.

Special guest Willie Whelan will open the show, with his show “How’ya now?”

 

Reviews/Quotes

 

 

“These boys have this music by nature AND nurture, having listened to or been told about it their whole lives!  They all capture perfectly the spirit and the excitement of the original Clancy Bros. They have the exact same fun, craic, love of life and genuine love of the material that their forebears had.. “ Joe Power, singer and raconteur

 

“I’m very proud of them all, they always surprise me with their mad ideas” – Donal Clancy, singer and musician

 

“I saw The Clancy Boys opening a show in Dungarvan. I knew it was going to be special before they sang a note. There is  devilment and wildness about these lads. They are great singers and musicians as well. The show was good fun all the way. I came out smiling from ear to ear after it. “ – Gerry Lawless, Promoter, Clonmel World Music
