On this very night and at this very time in 1920, Cork City was burnt to the ground during a rampage by the infamous terrorist organisation known as the Black and Tans during the occupation of Ireland by the British Empire. Throughout December 11th and 12th, in retaliation for an earlier ambush by the Cork No.1 Brigade IRA, bands of Tans and Auxillary soldiers murdered and looted at will in a drunken spree before razing much of the city to the ground. The British Government then blamed the atrocity on the people of Cork themselves and no apology was ever issued.

@Good Vibe Society are proud to dedicate this new choon to those who still fight for freedom around the world today.

Any comments, good or bad appreciated!
