Subject: RE: greatest irish rebel song EVER....
Well I like Henry Joy.

Mainly because it places the listener square up against the libel that all heroes of the Irish struggle for independence are catholic and etc. but too because my mother's people (on grand father's side) were "Ulster men" and from the Glens of Antrim (specifically from Moyle, which was her maiden name) and were all very strongly for the achievment of an united Ireland, whether by constitutional consent or rebellion of arms.

My mother's people were (and are) Methodists.
