This song has rattled my soul since I first heard Mary Black sing it in her pure, haunting soprano on The Black Family 1986 album. I recommend that version to everyone. It will change your life.
You are Amazing! Your incredible voice over shadows your superlative guitar style. Most of your videos are about 5 years ago. Are you performing? Do you have a CD for sale? Your agent should book you into Keane's in New York City. I know you would pack that place!
A great crowd had gathered outside of Kilmainham, Their heads all uncovered they knelt to the ground, For inside that grim prison lay a brave Irish Soldier, His life for his Country about to lay down. He went to his death like a true son of Ireland, The firing party he bravely did face, Then the order rang out, "Present arms and fire," James Connolly fell into a ready made grave. The black flag was hoisted, the cruel deed was over, Gone was the man who loved Ireland so well. There was many a sad heart in Dublin that morning, When they murdered James Connolly, the Irish Rebel. God's curse on you England, you cruel hearted monster Your deeds they would shame all the devils in hell. There are no flowers blooming but the shamrock is growing On the grave of James Connolly, the Irish Rebel. The Four Courts at Dublin the English bombarded, The spirit of freedom they tried hard to quell, But above all the dead rose the cry "No Surrender", 'Twas the voice of James Connolly, the Irish Rebel.
Moving and wonderful, as an Edinburgh man myself I love the fact that he originated here. Thank you for the music

"England you cruel hearted monsters."
A great crowd had gathered outside of Kilmainham,
Their heads all uncovered they knelt to the ground,
For inside that grim prison lay a brave Irish Soldier,
His life for his Country about to lay down.
He went to his death like a true son of Ireland,
The firing party he bravely did face,
Then the order rang out, "Present arms and fire,"
James Connolly fell into a ready made grave.
The black flag was hoisted, the cruel deed was over,
Gone was the man who loved Ireland so well.
There was many a sad heart in Dublin that morning,
When they murdered James Connolly, the Irish Rebel.
God's curse on you England, you cruel hearted monster
Your deeds they would shame all the devils in hell.
There are no flowers blooming but the shamrock is growing
On the grave of James Connolly, the Irish Rebel.
The Four Courts at Dublin the English bombarded,
The spirit of freedom they tried hard to quell,
But above all the dead rose the cry "No Surrender",
'Twas the voice of James Connolly, the Irish Rebel.
Great song well done
Can we get the likes up for a Sheena cover of 'Kelly The Boy from Killane'?!
i hope to meet you some day you hero !
beautiful!
love it
You should really make that CD!! (If you havent ;)
I have a beautiful song in mind you should try to sing. It's called "Galway John" by Declan Nerney. I'm convinced it suits you pretty well!
could you sing the last farewell by barleycorn, your voice would suit it perfectly.
Coming to NYC March 2018. Please say you are playing somewhere?
I would love to hear you read The Roll of Honour
Great!
Class, any chance of 'Thousands are Sailing'
Excellent
I can get you a gig in Belfast if you want at Easter?
