the famine was basically ignored by the british they beleived that after the first year it had gone but it was still claiming the lives of thousands of people daily. the rich british in Ireland watched as innocent people died of starvation while they took food as they were selfish. as they were throughout history the british were ignorant, selfish and bias towards the irish that had the right to food
Infact the famine was caused by the middle class, hording projuce from the markets in the towns, food went to the highest bidder. He who could pay got his belly full. The catholic chuch used the history of the famine to promote them selves here in Ireland.
Absolute rubbish!! It was a disease, downey mildew that affected the entire Irish potato crop between 1845-1849, causing it to rot in the ground before they could be harvested. Learn the facts, m8!!!
this song can bring tears to just about all who hear it. the famine was a terrible time in ireland, and like all sad times theres a lesson to be learned. I first heard this being sung by a small lad about 7 years old on a dublin Street one sunday afternoon 8 years ago.
Don't know what it is about this song. Just absolutely love it. I'm an Italian/American and my better half is Irish. I've being to Ireland and loved the people,the culture and the land. Being also a musician, I will learn to play and sing this song for my Irish girl.
There was famine everywhere...in Germany people stole rotten potatoes from the prison fields, to keep from starving. Wasn't confined to Ireland or any place else...but lots of beautiful songs have come out of Ireland, many inspired by the famine and future 'troubles'. God Bless Em...and all right thinking people everywhere. Love Paddy Reilly. My ancestors were Irish, Scot and English. I'm proud of all 3.
there wasnt a famine everywhere like there was in ireland, the songs about the injustice placed on the irish people by the british at the time,thousand were rounded up n shiped to penal colonies in australia for no other reason than they were trying to feed themselves n stay alive and hundreds thousands more fled to the americas, the british had the power to help the colony and didnt, its our eternal shame that we commited genocide against a defenseless people no wonder they hated us
Let it go, for God's sake. No English person alive was responsible for what happened 150 years ago. I guess I need to re read history, for I'm pretty sure people in England were also starving, in Germany, America and most of Europe too. Incidentally, my mother's family were all Irish and proud of it. This has nothing to do with Irish, but with ppl who attempt to keep fanning the flames of hatred for past actions. What good is accomplished by stirring the pot.
It is wonderful isn't it, and such an emotive song with content behind it that's so sad.A man wanting to feed his little children who were starving, under a heartless regime at the time.
Perfect match of words and music. I learned about this song right here in the USA from a local Irish band. The whole audience was singing along and it was very moving. It was the starting point for me to learn all about the history of the famine. I think by now I heard every artist's version of this song.
Yes I quite agree with that. It broke my heart to see the pics of the starving broken, listless people in Ireland at that time, when Trevelyan could have prevented it and didn't. The Govt and MP's in 2009 are now a national disgrace and the public are disgusted and furious with the claims they have made, including me.
Yes, a great song and a very sad one. Who could not fail to be moved by it? These things happened though, and in England too. Look at the Tolpuddle Martyrs. In fact poor Michael was lucky not to have been hanged - many were. In England at the same time young children were being made to go down mines, or up chimneys. We should not be fighting the battles of the 19th century.
Best! Every March, I make my students listen to this and talk about it. Is it a crime to steal if you're trying to feed your starving children? Beautiful and sad - digs like a surgeon, into a human being's true character.
The song makes you feel the sadness in these words. No it can't be wrong to want to feed you little kids when they're hungry. I guess the song is telling about when a poor wretch got caught for stealing and got hung or shipped off to Australia or something ?
I don't know the real history of this but would like to know. What was it all about ?
I'm Australian. My G G Grandfather was an Irish convict sent to Botany Bay leaving behind a wife and 2 year old son. Every time I hear this song I'm overcome with emotion. This is one of the BEST versions I've heard. Well done!
Proud to be Irish! Decent people , with heart and a sense of humour , even when in the shit. samuel Beckett wrote " when up to your neck in shit there's one thing left to do, sing!" Up ireland your the best !
Does anyone know why this group is not more popular? They are one of my favorite Irish groups; I love their renditions of "All for me Grog" and "Boys of Killybegs", I think they are a great band and should be up there with the Dubliners, Wolfe-Tones and all the rest.
my uncle was in it although he left not so llong ago, he is the main singer of 'fields of athenry' but im not 100% sure if the rest of the band r still together lthough i think they are!!
Wot u said is tru marnaca wot r ancestors did is in the past and all we can do is learn from past mistakes, I'm a catholic and have many friends in both communities bt it is difficult to move 4ward when certain communities stll fl the same as they did in the past. Its true on both sides, look at Bfast(Xtreme example bt mst obvious)is stl divided, and it's like this throout N.I as some towns are more prot or cath bt stl Ireland is moving forward slowly bt surly
then it is now up to you and those willing souls of your friends, who are the future here, to get this settled, start by introducing your friends to each other so they can learn to get along and they will help ya, no doubt. C'mon one person can start the move that will change the world. We are here together me just have to find ourself to it.
This song was made for all catholic or prodistant im a celtic fan so im catholic but its for every one no matter what religion or belifes just enjoy it
This is a folk song...it has been around for a long time....unfortunately, some twisted, evil, religious people see it differently...like you obviously do.....For me it's a beautiful, sad and touching folk song.....for the record (not that it matters - to me)I was brought up as a protestant....religion has no place in society however! It is a divisive factor.....your comment doesn't help!!
Sabbath5678, were you oppressed? then you must be old as hell! stop living in the past moron, live now and be happy, remember the past and learn from it but dont rack down on someone who belongs to a group that did wrong many years ago, they arent doing that today and he cant take the shit you are throwing for something his ancestors did. by going on like that you will break the spirit of the now living ones. Peace!
U hvnt bn to N.I recently have u? there r stl people who feel that way in both communities (mainly teenage youths) and they r the 1s continuing this old mistake. they're numbers have certaintly dewindled to a hndful bt stl there wil b a bitterness fr many years 2 come, which is dissapointing as all we're doing is stunting r own growth.
great song ,dont blame all the english ,my wife family are from ballymena ,she will not go back in case of trouble when they hear our accent ,p,s what does bally mean

Yeah look even irish people who immigrated there from pakistan winge and moan like poms.This is old music for old fucckking whinging whining people with hemaroids and walking sticks.
IdunCareLesSn00b shut the fuck up you dickhead this is real music with great meaning, i listen to any kind of music, rap, r&b, 80's, pop you name any kind of music and i listen to it, thats because there's always good music in every group of music so i can sense what good music sounds like, and although i dont listen to songs like this one as much as i listen to rap and other things, ive gotta say....this is REAL music.
The song is about colonial oppression and the transportation of individuals convicted of trivial ceimes to Tazmania from where they could never return
what can i say...a proud people,a proud nation..deep down in my heart i feel a deep conection with irland.lots of greetings from the serbians in bosnia.

THE state has spent more than €6.8m in the past 5 yrs on flights to send failed asylum-seekers back to their countries.
6,000 people are now classified as 'evading deportation' with only a quarter of all orders actually ever implemented.
In the past 6 yrs, justice ministers have signed close to 8,500 deportation orders fewer than 2,500 of these have ended in repatriation.
