The Song grace, performed by the Wolfe tones. This is a song about Joeseph Plunkett one of the Leaders of the 1916 Rising, and one of the Proclamation of Independances Signnatries. He was sentenced to Death by the British for treason in May of 1916 for his part in the Rising. Before Sentence was carried out he married his girl friend in the Chapel of Kilmainham jail. Her name was Grace Gifford.



Apologies for not uploading any new Material in a while. But as promised I am going to work with Wolfe tones sons for a while now, as I have some ones I want to upload.

    I know I meant in that time period of 1916-1921 and I was referring to the black and tans as they were the worst of the British prescence In Ireland although they did come after his death.

    it was before the balck and tans. the black and tans came with the war of independence not the easter rising but i agree with your point.

  • No, no. I was ...

    No, no. I was definitely referring to you, sunshine. Listen to the song properly. It is primarily a lament, a ballad. It does not seek to glorify violence. Referring back to your 'child murdering scum' comment, this song refers to the 1916 Easter Rising. The Rebels that day engaged British Army regiments. The British army staged reprisals against the civilians of Dublin. Go look it up.

    You're pretty dumb. You sure don't know much about Irish history.

    Thanks for your reply,yes people have died on both sides of every conflict that has ever taken place,but for bands to sing to glorify the events makes me sick,so i think they are the dumb,semi illiterate and poorly educated people you are really talking about

  • Typical of a dumb, ...

    Typical of a dumb, semi-literate and poorly educated Brit to make a comment like this.

    Read up on Joe Plunkett and the era he fought and died in, you simpering halfwit. You'll find that the Brits were the child murderers.

    But then, you'll find that the Brits have been murdering kids for over 800 years.

    They still do to this day - Iraq & Afghanistan.

    Only now you call it 'collateral damage'.

    ________________IRISH PATRIOTS_______________

    1 in 7 people in Ireland are non-nationals. 400,000 legal immigrants and at least 200,000 illegal!

    The only organisation that whants to put a limit on immigrants is the Immigration Control Platform (I.C.P)
    Look at the massive problems othere European countries are having because they are an insight to the future of Ireland!
    No racism just a common sense approach to immigration!

    Please support the I.C.P
