Ah, I grew up with the Clancys as well as the Mcpeake family (a little more intense in folk terms). I saw the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem at the Albert Hall and they were marvellous entertainers as well as singers. I can never remember which brother is which but the short, stocky one that looks like a pub bouncer used to recite Yeats' The Host of the Air which left the audience spellbound.
