GUEST,asdfjk Irish Republican ballads - need advice (63* d) Irish Republican ballards - need advice 23 Jun 06

hi

I'm looking for an Irish republican ballard - something quite gentle which perhaps also mentions the family (mothers sending sons of to war, fathers killed in battle) in the context of uprisings and rebellions but also in the general context of oppression. Can anyone suggest something suitable?

So far I've been looking at Fields of Athenrye, The Lonely Woods of Upton but I wonder if there are any here who could help me expand my knowledge. All tips and hints gratefully received.

thanks
