    Oh yeah, "Oooh ah up the RA", that really is something to be proud of all right!

    Pray tell, how many of the songs posted up here have that phrase in them?

    Celtic symphony is the only one I think?

    'The Patriot Game' is about Fergal O'Hanlon. He and his comrade in arms Seán South were killed 55 years ago this New years day coming.

    Cole Train im with you all the way Irish Radio is nearly all Brit/ US teeny bopper pop rubbish anyway. Sure most Irish people dont like or respect this type of music due to their stuck up suburban mentality that Irish Rebel music is for "scumbags" or as one eejit on this thread said "he'd prefere to listen to PROPER music", says it all really.

    the tones might be known for their rebel tunes but for me their best song has nothing to do with that subject

    When you hear drunken idiots chanting "IRA" in the middle of "The Fields of Athenry" then the "scumbag" label seems to fit......I used to play it when Munster were playing but once the idiots started hijacking and ruining it for everyone and making it embarrassing then there was no point.

    I always think its funny when the Orange men call it a sash, when they are actually wearing a collarette.
    A sash is worn diagonally over one shoulder.
    A collarette is worn over both shoulders around the collar.
    This ones for KeithAFC:

    Well, what does a song about the famine, a man rebelling against the British crown and it's cruelty and his subsequent exile from his native land for this so called "crime", have to do with rugby?

    Did you even think before you accused someone of hijacking the song? Add ins of "IRA" and "Sinn Féin", though I don't like them myself, are much more in tune with the song, as they are the two groups who forced the British out of 26 of Ireland's 32 counties, then sports like Rugby are.

    Irish Folk/Trad music = Great!

    Rebel music = sooo wrong on many levels.

    A Hotel near us had the Wolf Tones playing there last year, and that, along with other issues (dirty toilets) was the last straw for us, so we just wouldn't go there again on principle, the gang the Tones attracted had to be seen to be believed, real heavy duty republicans, Sands tattoos, 70s style moustaches, nicotain stained fingers, half sloshed Brit hating neanderthals the lot of them! Really awful crowd.

    Noting like a good old generalization is there? Plenty of "scummers" wear Man Utd or Liverpool jerseys you know. There are no more "Celtic jersey wearing scummers" than there are "Man Utd jersey wearing scummers" or liverpool Jersey wearing scummers." Now that the "glory days" of Uefa Cup finals and the like are gone for the time being the band-wagoners have left. I don't even support Celtic but to label someone a "scummer" because they wear a jersey is ridiculous.

    I've been to quite a few Irish music nights with live bands, people wear all sorts of clothes. Sometimes these "rebel nights" are held in with conjunction with Celtic games.

    Your post has the hallmark of someone who is talking out their hole about something they know nothing about.

    It's a bullshi* argument that gets done to death on here.

    You know it's tedious when you have to explain what kind of clothes people wear.

    Are you seriously labeling an entire genre of music "wrong on so many levels" because someone didn't clean a toilet.

    The tradition of rebel music in Ireland dates back many centuries,(long before the RA was here) dealing with historical events such as uprisings, describing the hardships of living under oppressive rule, but also strong sentiments of solidarity, loyalty, determination, as well as praise of valiant heroes.

    Rebel music is not deliberately provocative and insulting. Standing outsides someones house and singing "The Billy boys" like your pals have often done is deliberately provocative and insulting.

    Well it isn't generally "deliberately provocative & insulting", but I suppose it would appear that way to people such as southern unionists. This puts them in the same boat as Southern Confederates listening to the American national anthem, Nazis listening to jazz.

    Em, find me 5 well known rebel songs that discuss the IRA of the 1960-1990's?

    There are not many, most "rebel" songs are from pre 1960.
