isn't James Connolly such a song? I'll have a look on the Irish Republican Bookshop I will find out.
Yes James Connolly is one. [Black 47's version is the best I have heard.] 'Wearing o' the green' is another. But then the Irish Republic Anthem is both before and after.
they sang mostly rebel songs...songs of historic events in Ireland...however, they are no longer, Derrick left the other three to go a different path..great live band except when they have trouble with their sound system...had them for our Cabaret on numerous occasions and always had a good crowd...thanks
