Makem and Clancy The Mermaid

Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy at the National Stadium in Dublin, February 1977.

I was lucky enough to have seen them when I was 7 or 8 yrs old. I never forgot about how great it was to have heard them. Now I'm 33 yrs old and listening to this I'm instantly transported back to that night.

Found this song in a Hellboy comic. Sang by three dead sailors in a ship graveyard. Listen to it while reading the comic. Nice effect.

Thanks for bringing back a song I have not heard in thirty years. Now I am singing it all day. Tommy Makem gave us the best.

I haven't heard this in some time, it sounds SO GOOD. I'd play it at work, listening with headphones, but my office mate wouldn't like my singing.
