Part 2 of THE IRISH ROVERS with guest the Clancy Brothers from the CBC Vancouver TV series from 18th September 1972. Following an introduction to the group, the Clancys sang Jug of Punch. A Reel with two young dancers joined by Margaret McDowell (Wilcil's wife) and Joan Millar (Joe's wife) led to the children's segment of each studio show, Tales to Warm Your Mind, with an introduction to the three mischievous leprechauns, Bun Worrier, the Twerp & Willie. The Clancys joined the Rovers for the closing song, One-Eyed Riley (or Riley's Daughter). The Rovers were Will Millar, Jimmy Ferguson, George Millar, Joe Millar, Wilcil McDowell, and their music was backed by the Doug Parker Orchestra. Their first of a limited 7 shows debuted on CBC in Canada on April 5, 1971. The National Audience reaction was overwhelmingly favourable and their career on TV was guaranteed.
