  • Thank you all for your support of our charity single over Christmas, our song Joe McDonnell entered the top 10 and you raised thousands of euro for the Simon Community and at the same time made a statement for continued freedom of expression!
    iTunes itunes.apple.com/ie/album/joe...
    Google Play Store (Android) play.google.com/store/music/a...
    Following the overwhelming response to the recent coverage of the Ballad of Joe McDonnell, and the great support that the song has received across Ireland and the World, we'd like to harness that support for a worthy cause. All profits from the sale of the below single will go to the Simon Community to help in the great work that they do to aid those who are presently homeless in Ireland. We'd love to get this song into the charts, and in doing so, supporting a very worthy cause and also making the point that we are proud to sing the songs of Ireland.
    Please purchase the single from the below link from iTunes or from Android Play Store. It is important that it is this version that is purchased and not any other version on iTunes or Play Store, therefore ensuring that the proceeds will go to the charity, as well as targeting the sales to help get the Ballad of Joe McDonnell to Number One in the charts! Your assistance with this is very much appreciated.
    Please share with all of your friends, and if you can, please purchase the track between now and Thursday therefore hopefully getting the Ballad of Joe McDonnell into the charts by next weekend!
    Slainte,
    Brian Warfield.

    I first heard this song in Dublin. Every person Irish person stood to attention with their hands over their hearts and tears running down their faces. I have never been so moved by a song. I am South African of Irish decent and am proud of the Irish and Ireland.

      I first heard it at the Mayfair in Glasgow, I was too young for the Barrowlands. Although I did manage one in Dublin and another one on the south side of Glasgow which was huge.
      I remember we could sing WT songs at the games but not any more. Strangely (or perhaps not). I decided to watch the Glasgow City fans during a recent old firm match and was honestly shocked they were singing the BBs. Complete double standards. I remember the late 80s, early 90s before they ckamped down on the Cs, sadly the U's don't seem to be fairing much better even though they have cut out the ss and BS et al.

    My mad mate introduced me to this song in about 1984. He was a squaddie serving over in the North of Ireland but used to bring home Rebel cassettes to Paisley. Feckin bizarre when you think about it. One of those songs you hear for the first time and know it's a master piece. God Bless the 10. Thatcher can rot in Hell.

While those in the South turn a blind eye to what we nationlists have to endure from the British and the DUP. We in the North turn to the South for help while the South never turn to the North.

    It brings a tear to the eye and an overwhelming sense of nostalgia hearing this. I remember as a schoolboy in Larne, 20m north of Belfast, our Canadian history teacher asked us to do a history project on a subject of our choice. I chose Ireland's struggle for Freedom and visited the H-Blocks and attended the funerals of the hunger strikers, including Bobby Sands and Joe McDonnell.
