Hi

I don't reckon he is a unionist, none of them I have met acknowledge the republican songs, they don't need to, they have plenty of their own expressing their point of view.

The Orange songs are along the same lines as the Republican ones, however they don't get sung as much, with the notable exception of things like "The old orange flute.", which seems to be OK becuase it's taking the mickey out of the whole stupid situation.

Speaking as someone from "the opposite camp"(a term which I intensely dislike, by the way!)I reckon people and songs should be judged by their own merits, ie. a good song is a good song, and therefore deserves to be sung. End of my rant.......

By the way I now have the tune for SIng Irishmen Sing, if anyone's interested.

Slainte
