Some tunes I played over and over and over as a small boy from my dad's records 30 years ago...

Roddy McCorley-Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem 10/11 - YouTube

OT I know but when I was young, McCorley was always referred to as one of the few prominent Catholics in The United Irishmen.

In the Catholic graveyard where my parents are buried, there are McCorleys who were relations of his.

Somehow a few years ago, he suddenly became a Presbyterian and there didn't seem to be any debate about the matter.

I now see that Wiki cites the confusion with no definite resolution.

Have to say, any 'fleet-foot host of men' from 'along the banks of Bann' would most likely have been Catholic.

Just a strange observation.

Perhaps the confusion arose from his being buried in a Presbyterian graveyard (which wasn't uncommon for Catholics)?

I understand Shane MacGowan produced a version that managed to refer to 'the Bridge of Tuam'.....

The whole world is moving slowly but surely:

Laal (Urdu: لال, literal English translation: "red") is a musical band from Pakistan known for singing socialist political songs, especially on the poetry written by leftist Urdu poets such as Faiz Ahmed Faiz and Habib Jalib. The band received mainstream attention during the Lawyers' Movement, in which it led support to the reinstatement of the then deposed Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and the restoration of democracy in Pakistan.

In just one year the band has gained recognition all over Pakistan.[1] They have performed in almost all the major cities as well as many smaller towns. On their fanclub page, Shahram has invited all to join the "Laal Tehreek", a revolutionary movement of young and enthusiastic revolutionaries committed to the emancipation of the people.

Reminiscent of another great Pakistani band Junoon, Laal has not only managed to reconnect the people of Pakistan to the forgotten revolutionary socialist poets, but also introduced them to the youth. The youth will invariably play an important role in the politics of the country in the years to come. Surprisingly, the band has avoided criticisms for its leftist tendencies and has enjoyed mainstream success without having its material challenged by the public or media.
