Fiolar | Irish Rebel Songs as Social Document? (84* d) | RE: Irish Rebel Songs as Social Document? | 03 Jul 09 |
There was the classic "code" song, "An Raibh Ag An gCarraig?" ("Were You At The Rock?")which dealt with the times that the Penal Laws were in force. "The Rock" related to the rock on which the Mass was said. In those times there was something like £30 for the head of a priest. Quite a lot of history associated with those rocks. |
