Con Greaney

Con Greaney

Con Greaney was a traditional Irish singer from Athea, West Limerick. He was renowned for having a huge store of songs and for having an unadulterated traditional style.[1] Con was particularly associated with the comic singing tradition.

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]
