Johnny McEvoy, you're a great voice for Ireland. You've put your talent to good use. A grand solemn delivery. I'm not Irish, but you make me wish I was.
Hi Johnny In memory of my aunt Jeannie a great Antrim Women who was ur great fan, i have to say ur singing better than ever, Happy Saint Patricks day God bless u and the Family, ur still remember in Antrim, All the best P
It would be fun if this Irish song in honor of James Connolly, the Irish leader of the anti-British resistance organization Irish Citizen Army was sung by an Irish singer on the talent show "Britain's Got Talent".
Tell never B another u Jonney i been all over this world with u Bless u the giff God gave U i have enjoyed with Millions u are made what we are can only Dream off
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.
May their Gentle Souls now Rest in Peace. However, may now either find or else grow in D Divine Wisdom of Mind Purification, so to free themselves from our birth to death cycle through reincarnation. Metta or Universal Loving Kindness, to all of them, so their Beautiful, Brave Souls, can now find this Divine Wisdom!
James Connolly was the finest marxist revolutionary to come out of the British Isles. He was an internationalist and those people who try to claim him for their own brand of Irish or Scottish nationalism are frankly just being silly. He fought his whole life for the unity of working-class people across all capitalist borders as well as fighting for the unity of the working-class across religious divisions. Workers of the World Unite! We have nothing to loose but the chains that bind us!
They are still doing it in God, name all over the world God asked the same prayer from his Heavenly now we're begging Jesus to forgive us once more Only hi has the final word Lord forgive us we offer this pray for world peace up to you Amen😢Lord hear us🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌹🌹❤️
Hey Johnny! I see your coming to newfoundland again soon. I'll be there this time. Have a listen to The version of Michael I done recently. Just a out of the blue kinda thing. Anyways I look forward to seeing you ! Cheers!
A great crowd had gathered, outside of Kilmainham, Their heads all uncovered, they knelt on 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 ran 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 a man who loved Ireland so well, There was many a sad heart, in Dublin that morning, When they murdered James Connelly, the Irish rebel Many years have gone by since the Irish rebellion, When the guns of Britannia, they loudly did speak, And the brave volunteers. that stood shoulder to shoulder, As the blood from their bodies flowed down Sackville street The four courts of Dublin, they cooly bombarded, The spirit of freedom they tried hard to quell, But above all the dim came the cry no surrender, Was the voice of James Connelly, the Irish rebel.
If you don't feel a welling up of pride, patriotism, anger, some sheer raw emotion in your heart, when you hear this song, then you're definitely not Irish! I feel sorry for you, you will never feel know what this feels like...
try explaining this to an englishman and you will never be understood, they think they are the only ones who have the right to fight for the freedom of their country
@carluketim The Irish Volunteers have ALWAYS been called 'Volunteers' and never soldiers! Although the general scheme and organization of the Irish Volunteers shows them to be a purely military force, modelled upon accepted military lines. Their objectives were "to secure and maintain the rights and liberties common to the whole people of Ireland." Óglaigh na hÉireann (IRA) didn't officially come into existence until January of 1919
Thanks to political correctness the men & women who died for Irish freedom from tyranny can no longer be treated as Heros. God Bless them all & the artists who sing about them today.
+Patrick Fleming the men and women of 1916 to 1922 are not no longer treated as heroes due to some idea of political correctness. unless for some reason you think the Ira of the 70,s and 80,s and 90,s and the hunger strikers are heroes for some reason??

James was a true patriot and dedicated to the cause of poorer working classes who suffered greatly may he rest in peace .
May their Gentle Souls now Rest in Peace. However, may now either find or else grow in D Divine Wisdom of Mind Purification, so to free themselves from our birth to death cycle through reincarnation.
Metta or Universal Loving Kindness, to all of them, so their Beautiful, Brave Souls, can now find this Divine Wisdom!

Hi Jonny,i have been a fan of yours for the longest time,any chance that you might be Roscommon,or Carrick -on-Shannon in the near future?
No matter how hard you try you’ll never beat the Irish
Hey Johnny! I see your coming to newfoundland again soon. I'll be there this time. Have a listen to The version of Michael I done recently. Just a out of the blue kinda thing. Anyways I look forward to seeing you ! Cheers!
English money , greed , breaking the Ten Commandments, thou shalt not steal, or covet thy neighbour,s goods. The list goes on!
@ranbrent He was an Irishman, he was an internationalist, he was a socialist, he was a humanist, he was a REPUBLICAN!
Class
exactly wat jesus said father forgive 4 they no wat they do
☘💚🇮🇪
A great crowd had gathered, outside of Kilmainham,
Their heads all uncovered, they knelt on 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 ran 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 a man who loved Ireland so well,
There was many a sad heart, in Dublin that morning,
When they murdered James Connelly, the Irish rebel
Many years have gone by since the Irish rebellion,
When the guns of Britannia, they loudly did speak,
And the brave volunteers. that stood shoulder to shoulder,
As the blood from their bodies flowed down Sackville street
The four courts of Dublin, they cooly bombarded,
The spirit of freedom they tried hard to quell,
But above all the dim came the cry no surrender,
Was the voice of James Connelly, the Irish rebel.
If you don't feel a welling up of pride, patriotism, anger, some sheer raw emotion in your heart, when you hear this song, then you're definitely not Irish! I feel sorry for you, you will never feel know what this feels like...
good on ya jonny
Great job Jonny Kevin Cronln
I am Scottish not Irish but can still feel the emotion of this song and who and what it represents.
All the heroes of 1916 will be turning in their graves now at what their beloved Ireland has become.
his mother and father were from monaghan
Best irish ballad singer ever even better than liam clancy so natural
Luke kelly Was The Best Tho.☘🇮🇪
True they all were superb ireland for the talent
try explaining this to an englishman and you will never be understood, they think they are the only ones who have the right to fight for the freedom of their country
👍👍👍👍👍💚💚💚💚
Good man' me auld China
.... call a spade a spade ♠️
Meant ballad
One of the greatest Scots born men of all time. A true socialist.
@ranbrent He died in Ireland, fighting for Irish freedom. I was born in Lebanon to Irish parents, dosen't make me an Arab though.
Ireland will never be the same, europe have taken it all away. We could be in Germany or France, no idendity left, such a shame
God Bless Old Éireann.☘🇮🇪

We defy you, do your worst!
His nationalism was different than what is called such now.
@ranbrent Well done Scotland, I'm sure they have built huge statues in his memory! My fight for Scottish freedom by James Connolly?

I know this is very late replying but of course the hunger strikers of 1981 were heroes. And to suggest anything else is idiotic
why didn't he sing da full song he left out a verse
