Killenaule Hurlers
Killenaule () is a small town and civil parish in County Tipperary, Ireland.

The West's Awake
In the music of Ireland, Irish rebel songs refer to folk songs which are primarily about the various rebellions against English (and later British) Crown rule. Songs about prior rebellions are a popular topic of choice among musicians which supported Irish nationalism and republicanism. In the 20th and 21st centuries, Irish rebel songs focus on physical force Irish republicanism in the context of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. History The tradition of rebel music in Ireland date back to the period of English (and later British) Crown rule, and describe historical events in Irish history such as rebellions against the Crown and reinforcing solidarity amongst the people of Ireland. As well as a deep-rooted sense of tradition, rebel songs have nonetheless remained contemporary, and since 1922, the focus has moved onto the nationalist cause in Northern Ireland, including support for the IRA and Sinn Féin. However, the subject matter is not confined to Irish history, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Galtee Mountain Boy
"The Galtee Mountain Boy" is an Irish folk ballad, originally written by Patsy O'Halloran. Christy Moore added a fourth verse to O'Halloran's original three; this is the version that is most commonly performed. The song is a monologue, documenting the narrator's enlistment and travels with one of Tipperary's flying columns, from Cork, through Tipperary and Wicklow, to Dublin. Although not lyrically mentioned in the song the proximity of the Galtee mountains with neighbouring Limerick in which it splits between the two gives due mentioning of the east & west Limerick Galtee battalions who fought jointly with Sean Hogan throughout the War of Independence, the lyrics include farewells to both Tipperary and the town of Clonmel. It references historical figures from the Irish War of Independence and subsequent Irish Civil War, including Seán Moylan, Dan Breen, Dinny Lacey, and Seán Hogan. It portrays the Free State forces as enemies, suggesting that the narrator was fighting in oppos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
