Liam, that Gaelic name, the tail-end of William. Does it mean 'Protector'? Is there any evidence of its existence prior to the 17th century? Is it Liam Neeson that you're thinking of? Or Liam Brady? Or Liam O'Flaherty? Or Liam Gallagher? Or the Uilleann piper O'Flynn? Or the velvet-voiced singer Clancy? Howlett? Lynch? And then there was that film - what was it called? Liam
Liam in Music
- Liam Clancy
- Beginning in theatre, through a legendary appearance on the Ed Sullivan show, to Canadian TV awards, and ultimately superstardom in the world of folk, the youngest of the Clancy Brothers, Liam, has never stopped. His official site also has details of his 1st book, 2002's "The Mountain of the Women: Memoir of an Irish Troubadour", and technical details of his recording studios in County Waterford.
- Liam Gallagher
- Official website of Oasis - the greatest Irish band since The Smiths. William John Paul Gallagher was born in Manchester in 1972. Soulful, abrasive, charismatic, grating and arrogant singer. And he has a brother called Noel. Where now for an old man of Britpop? Don't believe the truth. Definitely. Maybe.
- Liam O'Flynn
- Possibly the greatest of all the Liams, master uilleann piper Liam O'Flynn was a pupil and friend of the great Seamus Ennis. In O'Flynn's native Kildare he formed the influential Planxty before a solo career that has seen collaborations with The Everly Brothers, Seamus Heaney, Kate Bush, Van Morrison and John Cage.
- Liam Howlett
- The man who is The Prodigy. Everything else is theatre. Perhaps not as angry as his music Howlett married an All-Saint. A popular DJ.
