Big Tim	Irish Rebel Songs as Social Document? (84* d)	RE: Irish Rebel Songs as Social Document?	09 Oct 09
Martin, The Bold Fenian Men (not Down by the Glenside) was published in 1866, the Fenian 'revolt' was in 1867: hardly long after the event! For me, the rebel (and loyalist songs) are very much social documents. I have never managed to read 'a history of Ireland' from cover to cover but I have learned a helluva lot of history by following up, as objectively as I can, the subjects of the songs.
