    I thinh Liam Clancy (used to jam with Bob Dylan) might be one of them. And they might have written "Whiskey in the jar", they certainly performed it and it sounds more folky than most Thin Lizzy stuff.

    No.

    One of my uncles was interviewed for tv once. They cut him before broadcast.

    That's about as close as it comes.

    I thought people were being sarcy when they said they'd never heard of the Clancys but not sure now? :/

    Yeah they're (or were, rather) from carrick - Paddy, Tom, Liam, Bobby (Bobby's son's in the High Kings now).... they didn't write Whiskey in the Jar, it's a traditional song (though Luke Kelly/The Dubliners' one's probably the "original") Liam's the only one still alive..
    But yeah.. they were massive over in the US

    Nobody related to James Joyce would use a full stop without preceding it with at least 15,000 words. Imposter! Look. His glasses and hat come right off! :eek:
