Christy Moore - Vive La Quinte Brigada (Official Live Video) 

My grandad James McManus from enniskillen and his wife (a Swedish nurse) went to Spain, luckily they survived and spent 36 years in India returning home in 1946, he died in 1957 and his wife returned to Sweden, were she died in 1965, there is a film in this im sure

From Glasgow hail hail the Celts are here wat a song god bless yous live from Glasgow

when I was 17 I learned all about Battle for Madrid, if I was 17 then I would join international brigades.... many fighters from small village where my Dad was born died in Spain....

From Greece we send our thoughts to those who lost their lives for humanity and freedom. This is a great song.

Every man named in this song was an actual member of the Connolly Column, the Irish contingent of the 15th. International Brigade, their names and more like them are recorded in the many books about this time, Viva la Quince Brigada.

Profundo, sentido y eterno agradecimiento, ( que florece cada mañana en la vida de todos los que despertamos atrapados en la sofisticada tela de araña fascista en la que aún se halla atrapada España ) a las Brigadas Internacionales y a todas/os los que nacieron para morir en el gesto supremo de la hermandad y la solidaridad entre los pueblos, el pueblo obrero que es uno. Por dignificar a la especie humana y seguir en la vanguardia de la libertad y la justicia social por siempre, en esta bella mariposa que Christy Moore le ha regalado al viento para que el aleteo del alma de los caídos no se detenga nunca. NO PASARÁN al olvido ... Gracias IRLANDA.

For my Uncle Jimmy McGrath from the Shankill, gave his life in Spain for freedom.

Rip daddy love you forever until we meet again i paradise UP JERRY WALL💔☘️🇮🇪🕊️

En memoria, a todos los voluntarios de las brigadas internacionales ...que lucharon por la libertad en España.

Lyrics Ten years before I saw the light of morning A comradeship of heroes was laid From every corner of the world came sailing The Fifth International Brigade They came to stand beside the Spanish people To try and stem the rising fascist tide Franco's allies were the powerful and wealthy Frank Ryan's men came from the other side Even the olives were bleeding As the battle for Madrid it thundered on Truth and love against the force of evil Brotherhood against the fascist clan CHORUS Viva la Quinta Brigada "No Pasaran", the pledge that made them fight "Adelante" is the cry around the hillside Let us all remember them tonight Bob Hilliard was a Church of Ireland pastor Form Killarney across the Pyrenees he came From Derry came a brave young Christian Brother Side by side they fought and died in Spain Tommy Woods age seventeen died in Cordoba With Na Fianna he learned to hold his gun From Dublin to the Villa del Rio Where he fought and died beneath the blazing sun CHORUS Many Irishmen heard the call of Franco Joined Hitler and Mussolini too Propaganda from the pulpit and newspapers Helped O'Duffy to enlist his crew The word came from Maynooth, "support the Nazis" The men of cloth failed again When the Bishops blessed the Blueshirts in Dun Laoghaire As they sailed beneath the swastika to Spain CHORUS This song is a tribute to Frank Ryan Kit Conway and Dinny Coady too Peter Daly, Charlie Regan and Hugh Bonar Though many died I can but name a few Danny Boyle, Blaser-Brown and Charlie Donnelly Liam Tumilson and Jim Straney from the Falls Jack Nalty, Tommy Patton and Frank Conroy Jim Foley, Tony Fox and Dick O'Neill

My uncle deserted from a belgian ship in Barcelona he died in guadalquivir They really came from all over the world I do rember them

God bless you, the spanish never forget.

A few days ago i started to discover of Christy Moore a legendary folk singer from Ireland and I like to see a full video footage of his concerts cause this is one guy I love to see perform. Next month I like to buy one of his LP's.

Una meravigliosa canzone di lotta e di libertà. Grazie Christy per averci regalato queste bellissime emozioni. Sei un grande uomo! E ti voglio bene!

Seguimos en la lucha. Gracias valientes.

The lyrics from great songs like this go 'full circle'. People in younger generations relate to and make a personal connection to songs against oppression and fascism.

No Pasaran!

Greetings from Italy and remember also the Italian partisans.

I learnt of the 15th brigade from this song and my own research! We weren't taught the bravery of these men in English schools. Brave men all

A great Irish man he is he sings plays from the heart just look at his face the passion 💯 will be in vicar street again this December as always

Merci a Christy....merci a l'Irlande! viva l'Ejercito del Ebro!

Love Christy. Love this song. Saw him in concert years ago. Would love to see him once more if he were well enough to come to Australia again. Wonderful, wonderful man.

My daidí loves this song, as do I, so much so that if you attempt to sing along, he shushes you!

let us all remember them tonight

Every time I hear this song gives me chills. These people who call themselves anti-fascists today would never have given up their homes and sale to another land to fight for people of another country another language other ideals simply for the fact that they believed that it was the right and just thing to do

Crien a sus hijos con memoria, para que el coraje de los miles de valientes españoles y brigadistas que lucharon por la libertad y contra el fascismo sea reconocido por siempre. Es lo menos que se merecen.

No pasarán! Brave Irish men!

No Pasarán! ✊🏻

💖

Who is Christy Moore playing alongside?

Sir I want some direction to find my way from you

This song + Vevo? Contradictory....

😊🫡

Well...you're both wrong, quinto means 5th but decimoquinto means 15th, I think its quince which is fifteen, and Frank Ryan most definitely was involved in the 15th international brigade as publicity officer, but didn't lead it.

That audience needed a shake up,as much passion as a stuffed duck for that classic republican song.

irish and spian

My grand uncle was with o Duffy. Sorry 😢

5 or 15 ?

I wish could meet you but my condition is not good like that so please talk to Me

Las Brigadas Internacionales comunistas no pudieron evitar que el comunismo haya sido derrotados por los anticomunistas en Espania, con lo cual los anticomunistas evitaron que Espania haya sido convertida en otra Unión Soviética.

Vivan los caídos por defender la libertad...No pasarán...

Support for the Nationalists Edit Feeling in Ireland in the 1930s ran overwhelmingly against the Second Spanish Republic due to the opposition by the Catholic Church. Following the July coup by the generals in Spain, a wave of atrocities swept the country on both sides; in Republican Spain, the Red Terror was, in part, directed against the Church there. Ireland was awash with atrocity stories, leading to proposals to form a crusade to protect the Church and fight against the democratic Republic. In Ireland, the issue was presented in stark contrasts. Intermediate shades received little toleration. The Catholic church, arguably coming to the height of its conservatism, portrayed the war as a struggle between Christ and anti-Christ. Religion was under attack. Christian civilisation was mortally imperilled by the poison of communism. Innumerable sermons dinned home the dubious tenet that whatever opposed the onrush of communism was good. A joint pastoral of the Irish bishops firmly supported Franco.[2] Encouraged by the Church hierarchy, Eoin O'Duffy, leader of the fascist NCP, started to recruit a brigade of Irish volunteers to fight in Spain in defence of the church. By late 1936 some 7,000 men had volunteered, of whom about 700 were selected, and in November 1936 these sailed to Spain, where they became the XV Bandera (battalion) of the Spanish Foreign Legion, or "Irish Brigade". However, the Brigade became something of a political football: Franco was at first keen to have it, as a way of cementing control over the Requetes, the catholic monarchist militia of Navarre, but once this was achieved the brigade's presence was at odds with the Nationalists emphasis on "Spanishness". On the other hand, O'Duffy's purpose for the Brigade was not so much to support Spain as to enhance his own reputation in Ireland, and restore his political fortunes there. Militarily the Brigade achieved little; in its first action, near Ciempozuelos in February 1937, the Brigade was involved in a friendly fire incident with a Falangist unit while advancing to the front. Four brigaders and 13 Falangists were killed in the exchange of fire.[3] Shortly after, at Titulcia in March 1937 the Brigade refused to advance after taking casualties and was withdrawn.[4] Later, months of inactivity in a quiet sector sapped morale and saw an erosion of discipline; the unit was finally sent home in July 1937.[5]

...actually "décima".

No Parmesan cheese.

🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️🇮🇪 long live Palestine ❤️

I absolutely love Christy, but how in the fuck does he sleep at night being a possession of Sony BMG???

No man ever not jabbed died.. from dah covid 19 anyhow.. Resist, Resist, Resist!! Hoid dear your freedom and rights, equal all men/women.

Brigades have been fighting with the people of Donbass since 2014 against the Kiev junta.

Nunca olvidaremos la solidaridad antifascista de las brigadas. Desde España, NO PASARÁN

SLAVA UKRAINE

Tank battles on the Ukrainian steppe again. 😭😭😭😭😭

That's what "quinta" means. 5th. Christy made a mistake maybe.

Bloody hell,,what sort of audience is this,,,are they dead,,are they English,Oh sure,,at the end they stand and shout,,but during the song they sit on their hands,,their lips sealed, Have they hearts of stone, Christy,,,you must know only the Barrowland Glasgow version does you and the song justice,,,there the Glaswegian Irish Nationalist Catholic working class audience sing every word with you,,,and boo the Catholic Church

Maybe people should learn about Ryans interactions with the Nazis during WW2 before lauding this song...He is a stain on the memory of the Brigade that he led.
