about

(0 Days since they’ve last been at it)
Written by Dominic Behan, and initially recorded by Ispíní na hÉireann in early 2020, following the Government’s decision to commemorate the Black and Tans 100 years after they terrorised Ireland, this album’s penultimate track it has become an ode to many things, including the urban slang that is unique to Dublin.
Republicanism as an ideology and practice, both active and armchair, was taken into consideration when creating the music around this track..
James McCafferty tells a story through his reed instruments, with the sax representing the new musical cultures that have permeated the Irish music scene in recent years, contrasted with the Cornet Horn, which represents the fading imperial cries of a dying empire.
