Brian P Ford (1942-2005) US Ambassador of Irish Music
The Clancy Brothers’ biggest fan in the United States was undoubtedly Brian Ford of Ballston Lake NY. From 1960 to 2004, Brian with his wife Ginny held an annual St. Patrick Day party featuring the Clancy’s and others. For most people, hearing the Clancy Brothers was their first and only exposure to Irish music until Bono, The Edge, Larry, and Adam came along.
We honor the man by honoring the music he loved and shared with many.
Cheers!
