The Irish Rover sheet music and tin whistle note
The Irish Rover Tin / Penny Whistle Sheet Music Notes with a time signature of 4/4 .. The easy do re mi solfege notes for The Irish Rover are included for those who use that system of playing. Recorded first by The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem and later by The Pogues And The Dubliners. I have included the basic piano / keyboard melody letter notation for recorder or flute players, the most popular is the one in the key of D, but I also worked it out in the key of G which is the second one. This song is available in my tin whistle book which includes all the easy letter notes to over a hundred songs. Beginners of any instrument sometimes think they can jump right in and start playing any song once they know where all the notes are on their instrument, that's not really the case as you have to work your way up to the more difficult songs step by step, The Irish rover tune is a little bit more difficult to play than beginner songs such as Dirty Old Town or The Drunkin' Sailor. So keep that in mind. The song lyrics of The Irish Rover are here with guitar chords.The Irish Rover beginner piano letter notes now added. A PDF file of the piano score included.

The Clancy Brothers
Irish-American vocal and instrumental group. performers, and recording artists
The Clancy Brothers, either with or without Tommy Makem, have been a part of the American folk music scene since the mid- 1950s, and for the past twenty years they have remained active as musicians while simultaneously pursuing individual careers. All of the Clancys, Patrick (Paddy). Tom, and Liam, as well as Tommy Makem, are highly regarded for their achievements in the theater; but like many other performers and groups that got their start during the folk boom, the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem became part of the folk circuit from Carnegie Hall to the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Born in Carrick-on-Suir, Ireland, the Clancys got interested in folk music at home, mostly through their parents, as told by Liam Clancy: "It was always there, of course, at home and then through hearing on radio people like Burl Ives. I remember, one day, hearing 'Froggie Went A-Courtin'" and running down to my mother and telling her that there was someone on the radio singing our song, but it was a different version because she used to sing it as 'There Was a Frog Lived in the Well.
"There was an interest in traditional Irish music which was fostered to a great extent by the BBC at the time, and every Sunday morning we avidly listened to their program called As I Roved Out, and there were many people in Dublin who were involved in the revival, like Colm O'Lochlainn, Seamus Ennis, Donagh McDonagh, Ciaran Mac Mathuna, and others.
"We started to pick up songs that we didn't have at home, and then I began to play. When a friend of Alan Lomax and Jean Ritchie-Diane Hamilton-came over to Ireland on a collecting trip, I was one of the things that she collected! I traveled throughout Ireland, England, and Scotland with her, and because we had lived in a rather Anglicized part of the country, I had never realized the value of Irish music because I'd never seen much of it in our hometown.
"In the meantime, my brother Paddy had started a record company. Tradition Records, in New York, and he and Tom were living there and running the Cherry Lane Theater, putting on mostly Irish plays. Paddy had formed Tradition Records around 1956, which is the year that I came over to New York with my head full of songs and traditional music.
"I spent some time collecting music down South, in Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, gathering everything from instrumentals to blues and gospel to traditional Irish, English, and Scottish music that had been kept alive in the Southern mountains. So I found a tremendous number of songs that were almost identical to songs that I had heard in Ireland. Paul Clayton was studying at the University of North Carolina, and he was one of the people who led us around down South.
"Ken Goldstein, who was one of the founders of Tradition Records, talked us into doing an album of rebel songs, so we recorded it in his Bronx apartment with his wife Rochelle keeping her hand over their child's mouth."
As Tommy Makem recalls: "There was accompaniment on only a couple of songs. with Paddy playing harmonica and Jack Keenan on guitar, and The Rising of the Moon [TLP 1006] was our first album together. The following year, we did an album of drinking songs called Come Fill Your Glass with Us [TLP 1032], with guitar and banjo accompaniment by Jack Keenan, and he was terrific."
Liam Clancy further explains: "Our drinking spot was the White Horse Tavern, which was also frequented by people like Theodore Bikel and Josh White, and we used to have great nights in there. Out of this grew the idea to do an album of drinking songs, which we recorded in a theater on New York's Lower East Side, and from that point on, we kept getting inquiries as to whether or not we would sing in clubs, which we thought, of course, was ridiculous, because Tommy and I were actors, Paddy was running Tradition Records, and Tommy [Makem] had just come down from Dover, New Hampshire, to visit us, and he got into the theater as well, but he and I actually started singing together.
"We played a nightclub out in Chicago, Alan Ribback's Gate of Horn, and even though we had tried to find a name for ourselves, we failed to come up with one. When we arrived, they had up on the billboard, "The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, so the name stuck. "Shortly afterwards, we went into a nightclub in New York, called the Blue Angel, and the Ed Sullivan people picked us up, and that was probably the most important thing that happened as far as our singing career was concerned. We were sup- posed to do a ten-minute spot on the Ed Sullivan Show, and I don't remember who the big star was that night, but whoever it was, he got sick, so we were told live, on air, to improvise another ten minutes. So we ended up with twenty minutes out of the hour on Ed Sullivan, in front of fifty million people, and suddenly we were in business. We just took off from there.
"Folk music was in full swing and we were the Irish contingent of it, but the most exciting times were going back to Ireland and discovering the impact that our music had had there. The songs that had been kind of forgotten or had only been known in books were suddenly alive again, so the Irish were really rediscovering their own music through the touch of Americana that we added by bringing guitar, banjo, and penny whistle to the traditionally unaccompanied music."
Tommy Makem explains his leaving the Clancys: "In April of 1969, I decided that I wanted to do some things on my own. It was a very amicable parting of the ways, we're still very good friends and get together once in a while, and the boys are still going on."
Liam Clancy continues: "After Tommy [Makem] left the group, we continued under different forms for a few years, but we were all a bit tired of the traveling. Our lives had changed. We got married, Paddy had bought a farm and settled down in Ireland to work on it. Tom returned to acting, and he's shooting a movie down in Mexico now, and I have a TV series on folk music called The Liam Clancy Show, and it runs a half an hour every week as a semi-talk show with different performers.
"Every now and then we still do a few concerts. We've been doing Philharmonic Hall for the last few years, and we've done either Philharmonic Hall or Carnegie Hall every year for fifteen years."
Each of the Clancys has pursued individual careers while actively engaged in performing and recording as a group. Patrick Clancy has traveled extensively, produced and acted in some plays, and has had many occupations over the years, including editing and arranging songs for Folkways and Elektra and forming Tradition Records. Tom Clancy is a well-known actor; he has worked with a Shakespearean repertory company and appeared in over 150 roles on Broadway, including his highly acclaimed performance in Eugene O'Neill's Moon for the Misbegotten. The youngest of the brothers, Liam Clancy, collected folk material for Tradition Records; acted with the Poet's Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts; and has been seen acting, singing, and playing harmonica on television shows and on theater stages.
The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem have made numerous recordings on the Tradition, Columbia, Vanguard, and Audio-Fidelity labels. Their sister has also recorded a solo LP of Irish music, entitled Peg Clancy Power (Folk-Legacy FSE-8). (See also Tommy Makem.)
