Tommy Makem, a protestant Music Hall singer from Ulster, joined up with Catholic, rebel-rooted Clancy Brothers in the late '50's and rode the New Folk Revival in the early '60's.
In the late '70's I was introduced to them and the magic that they brought to my life and the wisdom they brought to my ears was remarkable.
Tommy died August 1, during GT12's tech crash, but now that some of the machine's are running and work is caught up, attention must be paid.
Please watch and listen to this song about an insurgent who opted to resist the invaders of his country. And go have a pint.
