Hi Ireland,

we have had plenty of "discussion" on "the troubles" and "rebel" songs (from both sides)..... some quite civil discussions some very heated... if you look you'll find them....

here are a few of the past ones

which Irish troubles songs are offensive

my little armalite

back home in Derry

there are heaps more...
... (see Bill I didn't refresh them just pointed to them..... *grin*)


I am Irish, but I'm still very careful to choose what I sing...because you don't always know who your audience is...... fair enough if you play in a republican / loyalist club you'll know it is probably fine to sing republican / loyalist songs....
