Thanks to all who commented on the song, I believe in keeping the memory of the men and women who died for Ireland alive, least we forget. I have a great passion for Irish music and stories, I'm not a professional singer, not even an armature, just a novice guitar player with basic music skills and a half decent voice for the auld ballads.

Thanks, this song is here months and nobody has commented on it, I was bigining to think it wasn't good at all.

It took me two days to play all the instrumens, I play tin whistle, guitar, keyboard and banjo,

Billy's Thompson Jammed and that is how he came to be riddled to death by the forces of Occupation, he was feared by all the brits even in death he was feared, God Bless you VOL Billy Reid and may God Rest you, Ireland unfree shall never be at Peace.................

Well, Catalpa, I think ye did a grand job on this song...one of my old favourites. Even though I am an old Stick, I respect the memory of all the brave Provos who died, and Billy Reid was one of the bravest. He was not a young man by the standards of the time for a Volunteer but he faced up to the Brits and held his ground. I remember the day he was killed just like it was yesterday. May he rest in peace with all the rest of Ireland's heroes.
