In a career spanning 50 years, "Bard of Armagh" Tommy Makem's name was synonymous with the very best in Irish music. Makem passed away on August 1, 2007, at the age of 74: Ireland has lost a sweet singer indeed, and not an angry one. Earle Hitchner of the Irish Echo salutes and remembers the "Godfather of Irish music" whose "dedication to preserving and promoting Ireland's rich musical heritage never wavered." |
