Clancy brothers and Tommy Makem - Flower of Scotland

Those days are passed now
And in the past they must remain
But we can still rise now
And be the nation again
That stood against him
Proud Edward's army
And sent him homeward, To think again

@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.

@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

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

your fighting a lost cause here.

@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 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.!!!!!!!!!!

@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]

@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!!!!!!!!!
