Not really lol. There is a lot of good ulster scots presbyterian music and some good rebel tunes too

mandrake04

Sean South. It makes the hairs stand on me neck and I can play it well on the Mandolin and T Banjo.

A good song which strips the glamour and machismo from a lot of mainstream rebel songs and tells the truth:- young men die.

Also My only Son.(was shot in Dublin)

The song "Oh where,oh where is our James Connolly?" also comes to mind.

Music played a huge part in forming our nation as normal channels such as newspapers were not accessable to most people and under the control of the unionist/business class.

deise go deo

The Old alarm clock,
Wrap the green flag round me.
Oro Se de beatha bhaile.

James Connolly

In the poem before, the line "and christ i felt my rifle shake, and I, was picked to kill a man like that, James Connolly"

ArtSmart

'Oh ah, Paul McGrath'

deise go deo

The merry ploughboy.

I guess I'd be old school Nationalist, the idea of Irishmen coming together and putting religious differences aside for the love of Ireland is a beautiful one. What a nation we may have been if the rising of 78 had been successful.

God Be With You Ireland is a great song

La Marseillaise is fairly stirring stuff

The Scientician

The Boys Of Barr Na Sráide is a bit of a rebel song but so much more. It's so epic (in the old sense of the term as well as the new).

countrynosebag

amazing pictorial history there - so thanks for that
my favourite song is The Foggy Dew by Luke kelly - of course....who else - great loss to the world that man

neil_hosey

the valley of knockanure for me.


or the bold fenian men, this version of it. Mainly because it was this song that probably got me into irish music, which is vastly wider than rebel songs.

TAlderson

Come out and fight is a great one in a high energy/fµck off kind of way. The Dying Rebel is a really beautiful one, one of those that makes you think more.

I love 'Follow Me Up To Carlow'

countrynosebag

great footage again on the dublin city ramblers piece, there ought to be a photo and artefacts museum, also music there and any film rhat is available . This is such an important part of ireland's history that should not be constantly shovelled under the carpet but shown with pride.

Ted_YNWA

Not sure if Grace is technically a rebel song , but still a good one

iora_rua

The Rising of the Moon, or The Boys of Wexford, for me. Also like Whiskey in the Jar, but is that a rebel song?

Pink Fox

'Grace' is a beautiful song, I cried when I first heard it. Joseph Mary Plunkett and Grace Gifford's love story would make a wonderful film.

I love Mary Black singing 'Anne Devlin' and Patsy Watchorn singing 'Bold Robert Emmett'.

The Foggy Dew as in "when I was a bachelor" or the Foggy Dew as in "it was down the glen one Easter Morn"?

Faing

Back home in Derry has to be up there amongst me favourites.

thank you for song - jave just started to look at videos provided but have to go off and will return to look at some more bit by bit
thank you for your trouble taken to tell me about all of this
i knew some of coursw, but was in england and you did not realise waht it was like for people there - already closing in as small things were clamped down on hard and it was just getting steadily worse as freedoms diminished, probably why you may have hoped margaret thatcher may be the sitting round the table and discuss type - she was not - democratic freedoms were increasingly eroded for all

Tom Creans favourite and mine on paddys day..
"One of the memories that comes to me from those days is of Crean singing at the tiller. He always sang while he was steering, and nobody ever discovered what the song was. It was devoid of tune and as monotonous as the chanting of a Buddhist monk at his prayers; yet somehow it was cheerful. In moments of inspiration Crean would attempt "The Wearing of the Green."
