=0D=0A=Makem’s sons Shane, Conor, and Rory have become sought-after musicians on their own merits. In 2003, they joined forces with another set of Irish siblings—Mickey and Liam Spain—to form a quintet that has established them as the definitive Irish folk singers of their generation. Don’t miss this chance to see two generations of Ireland’s musical “first family” together in concert.

=0D=0A=“With his friendly patter between songs, [Tommy] Makem could make every one of his listeners feel part Irish and proud of it... Makem has his audience ready to go out and die for Ireland.”
