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.[1] 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."[2]
