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.

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"

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.
