And being brought up in a pub, she associated these songs with drink and madmen and fighting. This collection of 64 Irish songs is designed both for singing as a group or performing for an audience. It was like walking into an explosion. I had about four chords on the guitar then, and Tommy Makem still couldn't play the tin whistle because his hand wasn't fully healed, but Pat could play the harmonica. Pat, eldest of the family and businessman of the group, is the founder of the very successful Tradition Records. A brave little band of poets and socialists stormed the General Post Office in Dublin on Easter Monday, , and though they failed, before the year was out the first large hole had been blown through the ramparts of the British Empire. Sometimes, bass players don't play the root note of the chord Or as Liam puts it: "The Ballad Revival means, in its baldest form, that it became respectable again for so-called respectable people to sing working-class songs.

    Tradition label Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan Tradition Label Discography The Tradition Label was established in New York City in 1956 by Pat Clancy (of the Clancy Brothers) and Diane Hamilton. The label recorded folk and blues music. The label was independent and active from 1956 until about 1961. Kenny Goldstein was the producer for the label during the early years. During 1960 and 1961, Charlie Rothschild took over the business side of the company. Clancy sold the company to Bernard Solomon at Everest Records in 1966. Everest started issuing albums on the label in 1967 and continued until 1974 using recordings from the original Tradition label and Vee Jay/Horizon.

  • Lyrics – in Concert
    In Concert Lyrics – In Concert The Liar (Tommy Makem/Tin Whistle Music) Chorus: Singin‟ whack fol toora lady toora lee, There is no one who can tell a lie like me; You may search until you tire, You won‟t find a bigger liar, I‟ve been lyin‟ since the dawn of history. I was born about ten thousand years ago, In Belmullet in the county of Mayo; It was me that chased the vermin, While St. Patrick preached a sermon; And I‟ll whup the man that says it isn‟t so. Chorus: I saw Eve go pickin‟ apples off a tree, She came over and she offered one to me; I said „Now look here Madam, Go and try your luck with Adam.” And went home and had some fish & chips & tea. Chorus: I saw Delilah cuttin‟ Samson‟s hair, She snipped away until his head was bae; When he couldn‟t run away, She married him next day, And opened up a barber‟s shop in Clare. Chorus: When Cromwell came to Ireland years ago, He didn‟t shed a drop of Irish blood you know; All the Irish started grievin‟ When they heard that he was leavin‟; If I knew a bigger lie I‟d tell you so. Chorus: „Twas durin‟ World War II I met them all, There was Roosevelt and Churchill and DeGaulle; One day I nearly fainted, I was havin‟ my house painted, There was Hitler hangin‟ paper in the hall. Chorus: In Concert Down in the Coalmine (Trad.) I am a jovial collier* lad, as blithe as blithe can be, And let the times be good or bad, it‟s all the same to me; It‟s little of the world I know, and care less for its ways, For where the dog-star never glows, I wear away my days.
