About this product

Product Information

On St Patrick's Night, 1961, Liam Clancy, with his brothers, Paddy and Tom, and their friend Tommy, made their debut musical appearance on the American television programme, the Ed Sullivan Show , playing to over 50 million viewers. Their overnight success made the four young folk singers from rural Ireland a part of musical history, selling millions of records in the forty following years and earning them the title of the Beatles of Irish music . Liam Clancy's autobiography describes his journey from being raised as the eleventh child of a provincial Irish family in the 1930s, to living in the heart of the New York music scene of the late 50s and early 60s, at a time when Greenwich Village was the mecca for aspiring artists. The wine, the women, the songs and the stories are recounted in this book, along with tales of his encounters with celebrities and up-and-coming stars, including Bob Dylan, Maya Angelou, Robert Redford, Lenny Bruce, Pete Seeger and Barbra Streisand.

  • Timeless

    I was fortunate enough to have met all the Clancy brothers and was in Canada around the time young Liam joined his brothers. The book is written in a gentle personal style that has the power to make the reader feel involved. It's a story of a personal journey that goes far beyond the music. It's an insight into a family of wonderfully talented people who brought pleasure to millions of people regardless of their nationality, but particularly to Irish men and women who had made their lives in far flung places. A damn good read.

  • A very enjoyable book and well written.

    I have been a life long fan of Irish music and was raised on the music of The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem and The Dubliners. Since then I have followed the music of Liam Clancy up until the time of his death. I have seen him on various chat shows and wanted to read his own account of his life. I found the book to be well written and at times funny and also sad and certainly very open about his thoughts on a wide range of subjects. Interesting to read of all the different people he met and his relationship with his parents and brothers.

  • No wonder Bob Dylan called him the greatest Folk singer ever

    After buying "the Essential Liam Clancy 2CD+DVD set" I wanted to know more about him' A most impressive and exciting story well worth reading.Wishing to read more I bought from another dealer "The Mountain of Women" which turned out to be the same book with a different title. I agree with Bob Dylan that he was the greatest Folk singer ever and a very interesting person. Goodbye the Doors.James Dean and Pele, Liam is my new hero
