This brought tears to my eyes. We’re in the fight of our lives for freedom worldwide. Patriots everywhere in the world recognize it. Thank you for sharing the song from our Irish brothers and sisters! ❤️

@@kenlandon6130 Are you aware of SA lands seized…only from whites…by the government in about the last 7 years? Not like a struggle for independence? Sure.
Correct, this nation was forged from the idea of freedom with the courage and bravery from freedom lovers from all over the globe If that ain't worth celebrating, then nothing is
Sheridan welcome to the gang! What a great request if I may say so. America was a Country that was formed of many nationalities that put all of their differences aside to form what Ai dare say is the best country in the world. God Bless America and God Bless the Irish as well!
This artist has three albums and they are absolutley chalk full of beautiful Irish-American songs. I would highly recommend checking out some of his other stuff. Alba gu Brath 🏴💙 Erin go Bragh 🇮🇪💚 Tiocfaidh ar la Cuimhnigh ar na daoine a d'tianing sibh uathu ❤
When you care enough to steal the very best. I have adored that because among other things Whiskey in the Jar is one of my very favorite folk song it only makes sense that if they were going to steal they would steal the very best for a song that they sing for the regiment for general McClellan beautiful
"We soon got into battle, We made a charge of bay'nets, The rebel blaggards soon gave way, They fell as thick as paynuts, Och, hone, the slaughter that we made, Be dad, it was delighting, For the Irish lads in action Are the devil's boys for fighting" Beautiful Union song.
Same absolutely one of my favorite lines of the song. And the singer's accent brings that song into life like it was back then. Absolutely like a time capsule in my opinion 💚🇺🇲🇮🇪
I don't know if you've checked it out yet, but look into some Fire Department pipes and drums! The American fire service is full or Irish and Scottish history.
Song was from about 1862, as McClellan was dismissed from leading the Army of the Potomac then. But the Irish boys got Grant, a much more effective general. Thanks for playing this--reminds me of my Irish Union soldier ancestors.
Before I clicked on this video, I thought for sure it was going to be about the Fenians. If you haven't heard of them I'd look them up and watch some videos of those great men.
3rd generation American. My grandparents came over from Ireland on my moms side. Served my country. Plus 16 months in Afghan. Have a tattoo of the fighting 69th flag cloud/ lighting over the harp on my shoulder. Got it with a couple other sons of immigrants in tribute to the fighting 69th of the civil war/ ww1 fame. Our relatives. Irish people need to understand something before they get mad about Americans flying Irish flags and calling themselves Irish etc. We’re speaking specifically about Irish AMERICAN. Complete off branch of Irish. Own culture and history etc. forged in blood on countless battlefields and it’s a culture that’s been growing separate from Ireland for hundreds of years. It’s a sub genre. We’re not talking about you. We’re literally talking about us.
This was awesome! I really enjoyed that song. Since you’re from the UK I would enjoy to hear your review of a song called “House of Orange” by Stan Rogers from Canada.
