  • Thanks for this vid... I've never heard it before. My best friend went to St Pat's school in Lisburn where his teacher was one of the band, but I forget the guys name. Must ask my friend who he was.

  • I think it was sung by {The Late Gerry Burns,RIP.} Finbar Carolan, John Sullivan and Eamonn McGirr, It was one of these four.

  • Neson was a brave and great man,a true hero,why blow him up?

  • my grannie sang in this band for a while

  • the one person who disliked this was most likely fukkin british

  • In 1966 when the song came out the four teachers involved worked in St Thomas's Secondary School on the Whiterock Road. The late Eamon McGirr, from Feeny in Co. Derry, taught me maths and science. He also featured in the Guinness Book of Records for non- stop singing. Those were great days in the old school.

  • Erin go braugh!!

  • I loved this as a kid on my summer hols in kilkenny '66!

  • mind blowing stuff!

  • the way our countries run it would probably still be their if the ira hadent blown it up
