The Clancy Brothers were an influential Irish family of folk singers who are widely credited for popularising traditional Irish music in the United States. Best known for their work with Tommy Makem, there's little doubt that in the 1960s, The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem were the most popular Irishmen in America. Clad in their trademark Aran sweaters they attacked the stage with boisterous exuberance. They introduced hundreds of songs, well known in Ireland, to as new and eager audience. They didn't fit either the old or the new stereotypes but they were clearly a force to be reckoned with. Here Jasmine highlight their first 4 LPs including a live session featuring Pete Seeger.
