Con Greaney

Con Greaney (1912–2001) was a traditional Irish singer from the Rosska area of West County Limerick in Ireland. Described as for having a "huge store of traditional songs", he was known for singing in an unaffected traditional style. Greaney was particularly associated with the comic singing tradition. An entry on the Cló Iar-Chonnacht website described Greaney as being "Full of fun, good humour and devilment" and stated that he "was a widely loved character whose animated delivery of songs invariably guarantee[d] him standing ovations". Greaney died on 22 June 2001, aged 89.
