Con Greaney

Con Greaney was a traditional Irish singer born 1 January 1912, from Athea, West Limerick. He was renowned for having a huge store of songs and for having an unadulterated traditional style. Greaney was particularly associated with the comic singing tradition. One reviewer described him, saying, "Full of fun, good humour and devilment, he was a widely loved character whose animated delivery of songs invariably guaranteed him standing ovations at public performances nationwide."
