Grace

Tenor John DeJong touring with St Andrews Caledonian Pipe Band sings a stirring rendition of 'Grace' a song written in 1985 by Frank and Seán O'Meara. The song is about Grace Evelyn Gifford Plunkett (4 March 1888 -- 13 December 1955). Grace was an Irish artist and cartoonist who was active in the Republican movement and is mainly remembered for marrying Joseph Plunkett in Kilmainham Goal only a few hours before he was executed for his part in the 1916 Easter Rising.

John sings the song at Kilmainham Goal at the actual spot where Plunkett was executed on 4 May 1916.
