What a fabulous and fitting tribute. So many memories of great times, great friendships and great music. Amazing to think that this essential part of the musical year didn't exist before 1973, We are blessed to have the 'Willie Week'. Thanks for this wonderful tribute. Keep up the great work.
I enjoyed this program very much. Great memories over the years going there for the week meeting and playing with wonderful musicians. Thank you all so much
I never heard Willie Clancy in person. He was well revered in Miltown and as a man who died too soon. Days prior to Clancy week I remember a Clancy Pub at the corner of the Ballard road that had nothing to do with Clancy but was reaping a benefit for the name. I was there in Miltown for the first Clancy Week. On Sunday, there was a Mass in Gaelic with pipes in the loft. Sorry to say from church it was off to Shannon. Clancy shares the Ballard Cemetery with two generations of my Mothers Family .
Superb clip also of Paddy Canny playing solo at 21:46. How much more treasure like that is lying in archives? By the way, does anyone know the name of the tune Canny plays? I’ve heard it in the first set played by Martin Hayes on the ‘Watermelon Wednesdays’ video.

That first clip of Clancy is incredibly stirring and moving. There are days I can hardly get it out of my head.

I really enjoyed this program. I hope to visit the WWSS and Miltown Milbay some day after this pandemic is all over and done with.
Excellent documentary. Thanks for posting!

I think I can answer my own question - it’s ‘The Steampacket’ (there’s another recording of him playing it here on TH-cam).
