[zubnala]

[desertcelt1]

HI prisioner, 4591381 we are not plastic, and guess what the the crown had to free the inocent of birmingham, the innocent 6 like the Guildford 4, u should get to ur habit, but i do salute u for for watching a fantastic band - and appauld ur corrupt system for having to YES they got it wrong,

[4591381]

up the plastic paddies...just like us birmingham irish!

[TheMagroc]

God its nearly 25 years ago & this song validated 2nd generation Irish whose parents came from Ireland to the UK all those years ago. What a song! This is all about our parents & their off spring who know more about being Irish than our cousins who were born there....Saw you guys 20 odd years ago in the Irish centre Birmingham, WT take a bow....!

@Real999Madrid

Get ur facts right and fuck off

[Woozie52]

there were plenty irish in the black and tans.

[dinnydcoyle]

my da englishlish army

[kittywotsit]

The Black and Tans (Irish: Dúchrónaigh) was one of two newly recruited bodies, composed largely of British World War I veterans, employed by the Royal Irish Constabulary as Temporary Constables from 1920 to 1921 to suppress revolution in Ireland. Although it was established to target the Irish Republican Army, it became notorious through its numerous attacks on the Irish civilian population.

However, the term Black and Tans is sometimes used to refer to the RIC Auxiliary Division.[1

[kel464]

There is simply one word for this sound : PERFECT

Thank you so much, this is truly amazing.

[MegaMargare]

love this but ive had an italian father who i adored and an irish da who told us stories of the atrocities commtted by the Black and Tans.we need to remember da never said welsh or scottish it was always the English, they went into a lot of countries in the world and made slaves of the people took the best and left them with nothing

[yiddos1971]

@MegaMargare get a grip you prick, its all about the way u are brought up, both my parents are irish and i was born in london but my mind wasnt filled with hate and anger against the english and protestants. hate makes u sour and eats away at you

[brazenhead1967]

The best storytellers of Irish History thru the power of ballads....

[malachy1847]

@brazenhead1967 There have been so many outher Irish Folk song writers.... Tommy Makem writing of 'Four Green Fields' or Maybe Mickey MacConells writing of ... 'Will only our Rivers run Free'...and 'Peterpan and Me'.....and the way the Late Liam Clancy put across so many of our songs of Struggle.....

[donaljcarroll]

The title is so true

They kept the "spirit" alive.

[celticghirlroisin]

well said tzbhoy, the huns could only dream of what we have mo chara.

HAIL HAIL !!!!!!

[TZbhoy1860Fonttenoy]

republicanism was born among the best minds of the protestant preeching class,it to this day had protestant members,it has always had protestant leadres members,pioneers while the Irish geal has long mingled with the Norman,Dane and Saxon...the Huns and Loyalists? They have little tranended both catholic and protestant irishmen..our flag is green and white and orange..name me 1 loyalist who was also a practicing RCname me one unionist who was a practicng catholic unionist leader? we r inclusive!

[sands1888]

[IRAprovos]

It is Irish/Gaelic pronounced 'chucky ar la' meaning our day will come...alternatively you could substitute the 'ar la' and replace it with 'mo la' meaning my day will come..or 'do la' meaning your day will come...Slan.

[stevenopray]

it means, our day will come
