Thread Name: About Irish Rebel Songs
Subject: RE: About Irish Rebel Songs
Well, a more sensible debate than I'd expected (WHAT is the great attraction of rebel songs to US folks . .? WHY should anyone WISH to perform a high proportion of rebel songs - other than for lowest-common-denominator rabble-rousing as an easy way of getting a positive response from a certain type of audience)

As with so many things, context is almost everything . .

But I thought the fact was that you only sang them ONCE in an Orange hall, and then only half of the first verse.

And I disagree with most of AndyG's post, too!
