The Yellow Bittern, The Life and Times of Liam Clancy will be available as a special edition double DVD box set from October 30th (IRE) and November 9th (UK). Featuring exclusive footage, interviews and additional performances from the man Bob Dylan called “the best ballad singer I ever heard in my whole life”
The film is a surprising and darkly revealing cinematic portrait of Liam Clancy, the last surviving member of The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem. This intimate, confessional and highly cinematic film charts the remarkable rise to fame of these devil-may-care Irish singers, from their small-town beginnings in County Tipperary in Ireland to the folk hey-day of Greenwich Village in the Sixties where they absorbed black musical influences, played for JFK and out-sold the Beatles. The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem would go on to influence a host of popular artists from Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger to The Pogues, and become a powerful iconic presence on the Irish cultural map.
