Wish I had a pound for every time I've watched this excellent series of videos over the years. Terrific band. Great marching tunes. Great series of videos. Inspirational locus for the camera!
if them iconic buildings could talk lol not been so much blood and thunder since the dark days of 1940 RIP All the victims of the blitz back in the day this band was so big it could have split up and went to 2 band Competition's in one night Regards from a old Royal Crown FB MEMBER ARDS
I haven't been able to walk in my band anymore through ill health and I can only watch parades utube, lol all I can say is wow, a real credit to the hard work that goes into keeping a band going, this could've been a military band or one from anywhere in the world, brilliant.
I can't disagree with you. I have been to Orange marches with friends and also to Republican ones, I like the bands, preferably the big drummer. IMO some guys in the Republican bands look as if they have slept with their band clothes on. That I have NEVER seen happen in the Orange ones. It just wouldn't be tolerated. I just found the POTM by chance, but I believe if you want to be good you should aspire to be like they are. They even look happy with each as a band. They look the part.
I'm a Catholic but I have to say this band are fantastic. In tune, dressed well etc etc. Republican bands could learn a lot from watching this. Credit were credit is due.
@@baillie677 Or maybe you quite like them. It surprises me, why do so many Republicans watch loyalist band videos. It must be a guilty pleasure, tinted with a hint of envy, theres so many of you do it. 😄
Well you have to ask yourself the question what EXACTY have they to be proud of? I mean they were amongst the most bigoted people to ever walk the planet, it would be a VERY good thing for their culture to die out, it brings nothing positive.
As for the flag of St George, it was adopted by the city of London during the crusades, so that its shipping could be protected by the Genoan fleet en route to the holy land. The patron saint of Genoa, is saint George, which is why they use his cross. The same cross is also used in Barcelona, and can be seen on the badge of their football team. For you to even say that your not racists because you have black and asian members, reaffirms my point. The BNP has black members, they're still racist.
There's absolutely no proof that St George ever visited England. He was born in the town of Lydda in modern day Israel and spent most of his life in Turkey. Plus, the Christianity that these missionaries spread was that of Rome, which meant that they followed the Pope and Catholicism. I do recall reading the oath of the Orange Institution, and how it forbids a member from associating with Catholics. Kind of shot yourself in the foot there.
Funny how you call me the looper, when the number of lodges mean nothing. It's impossible for St George to have spread Christianity in England, as he died in the 4th century, 100 years before the Romans left. The remaining christian romans made up a small population, and were wiped out by the invading Polytheistic Anglo-Saxon tribes in the years that followed. In the 7th century, Christianity was re-introduced by missionaries from Scotland, ireland and Europe, adhereing to Rome.
Nice to see the rebsofireland looking at some good culture on a site dominated by clips of british army,loyalism i always knew yr reb bands dont have any class just hit the drums as hard as ye can while yer dummy fluters try to make a tune.Also in our place which is glasgow theres some areas 1 or 2 where we are not welcome garngads 1 while the loyal instituitions walk with relative ease through anywhere.Iam sure if anybody had images of loyal marchers getting a doin youd see it none on you tube

@johnny45irish I thought my answer was quite plain. English men who happen to be members of the Orange Order of England are marching to celebrate their patron saint's day. What is wrong with that, why shouldn't they celebrate their patron saint, or invite whoever they like to provide musical accompaniment to the parade? If the organisers of the Dublin Saint Patrick's day parade invited the Sons of Mohammud Flute Band to play, would I get upset because I don't like Islam, would I heck.
@johnny45irish Johnny Bhoy what you going on about Lad your a Plastic Paddy and talking Crap You don't talk any sense anyway ,waste of time trying to explain to you.
