In January of 1961, The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem
appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show and launched a revival of
Irish music that continued through the 1980s and 1990s with the
success of The Chieftains and Riverdance. Far from the Irish
music centers of New York and Chicago, John and Joe Dady-
The Dady Brothers-worked out a version of this revival in
Rochester, New York. This book tells the story of how the
brothers developed a distinctly Irish American mix of folk,
Bluegrass and Irish music in the context of the tight-knit,
multi-ethnic Catholic community of Rochester's old Tenth Ward.
A story of new music created without ever forsaking the
traditional ties of community, John and Joe's life reflects not
only ethnic revival, but also ethnic endurance.
