Willie Clancy
Willie Clancy (December 24, 1918 - January 1973) was an Irish uilleann piper.
Clancy was born into a musical family in Miltown Malbay, County Clare. His parents both sang and played concertina, and his father also played the flute. Clancy's father had been heavily influenced by local blind piper Garret Barry (d. 1900).
Willie started playing the whistle at age 5, and later took up the flute. He first saw a set of pipes in 1936 when he saw Johnny Doran playing locally. He obtained his first set of pipes two years later.
