As we approach the 100th anniversary of the ending of the War on July 11th, 1921, Dolphin Records are proud to release \"Songs of the Irish War of Independence A Commemorative Collection\". The songs featured on this 2CD set remember and pay tribute to many Irish heroes including Tomás MacCurtain, Terence McSwiney, Dan Breen, Seán Treacy, and Kevin Barry. Many pivotal events during this revolutionary period are also recalled, including The Burning of Cork City, Bloody Sunday (Dublin, 1920), The Kilmichael Ambush, and the brutalities committed by the notorious Black \u0026amp; Tans. This commemorative album also includes popular ballads from previous rebellions and risings which gave expression to the spirit of Irish resistance. Highlights include some recent recordings and original songs from up-and-coming singer-songwriter Eoin Thomas: - Bloody Sunday 1920, The Burning of Cork City, and The Assassination of Tomás MacCurtain. Other newly recorded tracks include The Young Volunteer from Galloglas, and The Ballad of Seán Treacy from the new group Murphy's Law.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Paddy Reilly - Come Out Ye Black ; Tans \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Eoin Thomas - the Burning of Cork \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Niamh Parsons - the Boys of Barr Na Sráide \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Patsy Watchorn - Kevin Barry \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Ronnie Drew - the British Army \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Paddy Reilly - the Galtee Mountain Boy \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Johnny McEvoy ; Sharon Shannon - Salonika \u003cbr\u003e1.8 The Celtic Orchestra - MNÁ Na Heireann \u003cbr\u003e1.9 The Black Family - Oh Where Is Our James Connolly \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Jimmy Crowley - the Boys of Kilmichael \u003cbr\u003e1.11 The Wolfetones - the Man from Mullingar \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Sean Dunphy - the Lonely Woods of Upton \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Anne Byrne - the Wind That Shakes the Barley \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Derek Warfield - the Soldier's Song \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Eoin Thomas - the Ballad of Dan Breen \u003cbr\u003e2.1 Eoin Thomas - on Bloody Sunday (1920) \u003cbr\u003e2.2 Johnny McEvoy - Michael \u003cbr\u003e2.3 Murphy's Law - the Ballad of Sean Treacy \u003cbr\u003e2.4 Frances Black - the Foggy Dew \u003cbr\u003e2.5 Eoin Thomas - the Assassination of Thomas MacCurtain \u003cbr\u003e2.6 Liam Clancy - the Patriot Game \u003cbr\u003e2.7 Derek Warfield - the Broad Black Brimmer \u003cbr\u003e2.8 Sean Dunphy - Shall My Soul Pass Through Old Ireland \u003cbr\u003e2.9 Barleycorn - on the One Road \u003cbr\u003e2.10 Paddy Reilly - Only Our Rivers Run Free \u003cbr\u003e2.11 The Wolfetones - the Valley of Knockanure \u003cbr\u003e2.12 The Black Brothers - the Recruiting Seargant \u003cbr\u003e2.13 Derek McCormack - Grace \u003cbr\u003e2.14 Derek Warfield - a Nation Once Again \u003cbr\u003e2.15 Galloglas - the Young Volunteer\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39633775919175,"sku":"42068686","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4013874-2749489.jpg?v=1711747460","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/various-artists-songs-of-the-irish-war-of-independence-a-commemorative-collection-various-artists","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
