Tommy Makem and Dover NH

On this day in 2007, Dover lost one of its most famous residents, Tommy Makem. Makem was known as the Godfather of of Irish Music to many, and along with the Clancy Brothers and their work together in the 1960s, is credited for a revival in traditional Irish music. Makem left Keady, County Armagh in 1955 and came to Dover to live with relatives here. In this clip, produced and directed by Mark Steele for cable access in 1995, Tommy Makem discusses with host Julie Dougherty his arrival in Dover, before performing "Farewell to Carlingford," a song written by Makem. Eugene Byrne, also of Dover and who died in 2011, also performs. The show's producers hoped the series would be picked up by WGBH in Boston, but ultimately was not. The show did air on New Hampshire Public Television as part of "The Tommy Makem Show."
