Clancy brothers and Tommy Makem - Flower of Scotland

[Jane98E]

@ADoyle131 Liam never fought in the IRA. He was much younger than Paddy and Tom.

@metallifreak77,

It's almost the National Anthem in Scotland. Roy Williamson of The Corries wrote it and you should be able to find a recording of them singing it.

[metallifreak77]

How can I get this song?!? I've searched and cannot find!!

[spadinajack]

The studio engineer on this recording was the famous Dubliner, Patio O' Furniture...

[slippy1968]

Up the Ulster Scots. This should be our national anthem. The rebel rugby crowd. I will support Scotland over their tricolour any day

[Frankieireland]

@slippy1968 i don't think either nation wants you then. The best thing about the irish rugby team is standing together as irish men whatever religion or political belief and being proud of being from our great island. it's funny that you're listening to the clancy brothers and tommy makem - the biggest rebel musicians we've ever produced. bitter fool.

[slippy1968]

lol

You obviously don't know much about the clancy brothers or the issues re. our national anthem in Irish Rugby. We have, and always will, have our own nation so we don't want them/you. Long live Ulster.

I also have more educational attainments than you could read in one day so no bitter fool I can assure you ( if your opinion mattered)

[ADoyle131]

@slippy1968 as a massive supporter of the Clancy brothers and Tommy Makem and a Irish nationalist.I have to say that your comments are rediculous all three clancy brothers were in the IRA!and Tommy Makem was of extreme republican view too.We all saw Irishmen from all religons standing together in Croke Park singing both of the rugby anthems against England.Give up your stoneage view and move with the times the troubles are behind us!!!!!!!!!

@ADoyle131

Wrong I'm afraid. Tom and Paddy claimed to have been in the IRA; Liam never was. Tommy Makem was an expatriate Irish man who could afford, from a distance, to indulge his romanticised view of republicanism.

[ADoyle131]

@1analogue i'm sorry but your arguments are rediculous still!!!!! please get your facts right and Tommy Makem never passed up a chance to promote his views!!!and i noticed you never commented on my second piont on my last post because you know i'm right and things have changed.!!!!!!!!!!

[1analogue]

@ADoyle131 I wasn't making arguments, but statements which are true about the 'republicanism' of the brothers and Tommy Makem. I support what happened in Croke Park. I think you should try reading what I actually said rather than commenting on what you think I said.

[ADoyle131]

@1analogue please move with the times and i know exactly what you wrote please give up!!!!!

your fighting a lost cause here.

@ADoyle131

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

@ADoyle131 Yer right about moving with the times, my grandmother was in her mothers womb when the bailiffs burnt the thatch. grandfather on the other side had to bolt rather quick. all lobbed into greatest country in the world and eventuall produced my line. Though we havnt forgotten our heritage, ( have absolutley wonderful wakes in our family ) the brothers and makem played in my city (ballaarat) in 1966 . I am a cathoilic and a freemason, with friends of all persuasions. move on

[timahoeboy]

If yer so proud of yer ulster scots heritage why do you sing god save the queen? you wouldnt expect a scots man to sing it never mind an irish man.

Still though flower of scotland is a great song, especially this version

[ceolnaghra]

Scotland The Brave? but will they vote for Independence?

Go for it Bhoys You can do it! We will support you always!

[scotsprovo]

wen will we see yer likes again!!!!!!!!

[howdofolks]

Brilliant version

[tearlach45]

the only problem was, they did think again, and came up and beat us :(

[lovexxcrunk]

let them come up now ,we,ll see who beats who  english wankers

[Clarice007]

@tearlach45 "But we can still rise up, and be that nation again..."

[DaraghPhelan]

this aint tommy makem its robbie O'Connell

[heybeeg]

Geez, and I have that CD? Been a looong time since I listened, I'm afraid. :(

I enjoy Robbie O'Connell but I think he's better as a solo artist. He gets drowned out with the Clancys.

[shakeymcfly]

Ughh...the O'connell era group. Please remove Mr. Makem's name.

[bondie45]

Just brilliant,Well done vlik,

[vlikavec]

bobby is not singing in this song

[heybeeg]

I hear Liam... but who else? Paddy.  I think Tom Clancy too. But is the 4th Bobby?? I don't think it's Tommy Makem - I'd be able to pick his voice out for sure.

Thanks for the song!! It's one of my favorites. :)

[HaulAwayJoe]

This is from the CD "Older But No Wiser" which includes Liam, Bobby, Paddy and Robbie O'Connell. It was their last studio recording (1995 I believe).
