Parting Glass like that, I would call it terrible. But since it is the Irish Treasure, I know it’s more proper to call it unique.
And I wonder whether Liam’s stuffing the word "Shane" into the lyrics of
Broad Majestic Shannon was just for the sake of Shane sitting in the audience or whether he’s is going to release it as a tribute song...
Thanks for digging these gems out, M!
Shane's now worked with Terry Woods, Ronnie Drew AND Liam Clancy. Shit, we only need the ghosts of Luke Kelly and John MacCormack to do a duet with on Joe Hill for Irish music to actually collapse under the weight of giants stood together.
Saying that, having watched it a few more times, ain't it a shame this never happened in 1988, when Shane still had something to prove and Liam Clancy wasn't yet a dyed-in-the wool stage Oirishman from a 1930s New York Bowery Theatre play?
Slaps on the aran-jumpered backs all round.
