Makem & Clancy Live in Concert in The Glens Centre

Makem & Clancy are Live in Concert this Sunday, 28th May at 8pm in The Glens Centre, Manorhamilton.

Rory Makem and Donal Clancy – the sons of, respectively, Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy – are justifiably proud of their families’ storied place in Irish music, and both had the opportunity to perform with their famous fathers over the years.

Donal & Rory have also forged their own musical paths.

Dónal Clancy is an acclaimed guitarist, singer and performer. Dónal grew up in a household and community steeped in music. He spent his early childhood in Canada and the US before his family settled back in An Rinn, Co.Waterford. His father gave him his first guitar at the age of eight and he was playing professionally by his early teens. 

Rory Makem is a seasoned performer with over 25 years on the road, and he has toured extensively with The Makem and Spain Brothers. He toured and played guitar with his father, the legendary Tommy Makem for 17 years. He has entertained countless sold-out venues, festivals, and theatres throughout the United States, Canada, England, Scotland and Ireland. Rory captivates audiences with his skilled musicianship, his charisma and passion for the songs, his extensive knowledge of poetry and history, and his humour. The love of song runs deep in the family.

This will be a magical night to remember!

“The heritage of Tommy Makem & Liam Clancy is safe in the hands of Rory Makem & Donal Clancy. An ounce of breeding beats a ton of feeding!”  – Noel Fahy, Radio presenter, Tipp Mid-West FM

8pm. Tickets: €18/15
