Surely the High Kings are Tommy Makem’s sons? They’re the best thing I’ve heard since the original article!
Hi Kevin,
One of the High Kings is a Clancy and I thought one of them was Tommy’s son, but I’m not sure. This is from their bio:
Finbarr Clancy (born in Carrick-an-Suir, County Tipperary; formerly of the Clancy Brothers), Martin Furey (born in Dunmore East, County Waterford; formerly of the group Bohinta), Brian Dunphy (born in Dublin; formerly a cast member of +Riverdance), and Darren Holden (born in County Kilkenny; formerly a cast member of +Riverdance, among other Broadway productions, and a successful solo artist as well).
Thanks for your comment! St. Paddy’s Day is coming up.
