Most people don’t think of the IRA or support the IRA when singing republican songs.
Its more of an anti imperial, anti British rule thing. However many the IRA killed, the Brits killed an order of magnitude more and that should never be forgotten

Can’t stop humming Celtic Symphony to myself all morning pottering around doing jobs. Greatest publicity for a song ever.

I agree with that, and I wouldn’t criticise anybody for doing it, but personally I’d draw a strong line under explicitly chanting “up the RA’
If that makes you feel good more power to you boy
I have friends in Derry and on hearing their stories I’d sing it with gusto

It doesn’t make me feel anything, it’s not something I’d even think about only it’s become a hot topic here.

If you selectively chose to omit a line of a song its obviously something you’ve thought about and decided not to do based on moral values

Equally I have friends in Derry, from the Bogside, that would turn their backs at any support for the Provos.

Excuse me, I wouldn’t ever sing that song because I don’t think it’s very good and I don’t care for Celtic, I’ve never been in a situation where a large group of people were singing it
Yeah but they’ve similar stories about the Brits I bet.

You just said you draw a strong line under singing up the Ra and that’s grand. I’ll sing it away regardless

Beautiful.
There’s something natural and grounding about the hush that falls almost instantly when a singer clears his throat in a bar to deliver such a song.
And completely unlike that falsified, imposed shushing the west brits carry on with when there’s a rugby game on the TV.

I know Broad black brimmer but I don’t think it’s a good song.
I’ve actually been singing ‘here we go again,
We’re on the road again’ in the car now for a while, it’s the only part I know and it’s a catchy tune, the graffiti part not so much
