Few people will dispute the fact that The Clancy Brothers have been the most popular force in Irish entertainment for more than four decades, and in that time they have carved out a name synonymous with the best in Irish Folk Songs. On this video, The Clancy Brothers, Paddy, Liam and Bobby together with their nephew Robbie O'Connell continue to weave their magic spell with a blend of their most popular songs, a little poetry and a lot of wit. Recorded in their home county of Tipperary, their friends and neighbours certainly brought out the best of the group as they say "Farewell to Ireland" and belt out twenty-two of their all-time favourites, only taking a breather to listen to Liam's haunting version of "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" and Robbie O'Connell's poignant self-penned song on Irish emigration, "Kilkelly". They first captivated American audiences in the sixties on the "Ed Sullivan T.V. Show" and so dawned a new era in Irish Folk Music, but now you can turn back the years and see for yourself why they are still referred to as "...the greatest Irish Folk Group...ever".
