The song The Parting Glass is a traditional Scottish piece that was sung at the end of a gathering with friends and family. It is also closely related to Ireland as it was popular and sung in Ireland many times and is now sung worldwide. The Clancy Brothers sing the specific recording of the piece I share today. The Clancy Brothers are a widely popular Irish Folk Song group highly popular in the 1960s. They are thought of to be influential for the famous singer Bob Dylan. The recording is of Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy leading vocals of the group as well as an acoustic guitar and penny whistle. You can hear the sincerity and the wishing of well and that you wish to see them again soon but its time to leave and part.
