Perhaps you are aware that a fairly popular band in Ireland during the 70s was our very own "The Flying Column"? Very big with the Long Kesh/Green Cross/National Graves/Bodenstown lot. (Ah those black and bottle-green combat uniforms! And the yellow neckerchiefs! Takes me back!)
They were VERY political and had very close links with Oglaigh na h-Eireann.
