Tommy Makem, who played alongside the Clancy Brothers for many, many years was a man with a great love for poetry and song. I just love his rendition of Partick Kavanagh’s On Raglan Road and the song Gentle Annie. To me, this clip sums up so much of what is at the very heart of Ireland and Irishness.

Like Tommy Makem very much
Dennis, I’m delighted you like him. It’s great that his work lives on as he brought so much to Ireland and the world.
Thank you for posting this lovely rendition – really enjoyed it – always loved Tommy Makem – quite a complex character!!
