GUEST,Athen	Green Fields of France (48)	RE: Green Fields of France	07 Dec 07
Hi. I'm writing an essay on protest songs - two in particular, and this is one of them. As you'll all know there is more information and rumour going around than I can fit into 3000 words! Someone told me that it's common for Irish singers to appropriate this song to use as a protest against the English - so it has this extra meaning as well as the original questioning of WW1. What I would like to know is, please could any of you verify this? Anecdotal evidence must be backed up by some kind of academic reference! Makes it tricky when you're dealing with folk music... Many thanks Athen.
