Brendy, Exactly right, we would only sing it at the end, and only in places like "The Irish Centre" in Toronto. I always objected when asked to sing it in a pub. I honestly do not think a national anthem such as" The Soldiers Song" "God Save The Queen " Oh Canada" etc should be played in a pub. Pubs are for songs,and an anthem is not a "SONG" as such. Anthems should be for International sporting events, State functons, the end of a night t.v. broadcast maybe or at the end of a musical evening in ethnic halls, Legion halls etc. Singing any anthem in a pub setting is bringing it down to the same level as " Wild Rover" , 'Paddy McGinty's Goat" " Knees Up Mother Brown " etc and I believe an anthem deserves more respect.
