It is said of wars that the victors write the History but the defeated write the Songs. Nowhere is that more true than Ireland. This program will look at four Irish Rebellions, none successful if measured in the usual way. But each rebellion left a legacy of further resistance to living under English rule and each defeat inspired subsequent generations of Irish men and women to rise again. That resiliency and determination to be free is forcefully illustrated in the tradition of Irish Rebel Music. This program will include "Story" by Hank McNally and "Song" by the Cook College Ramblers. For the undercover rebel in the audience, there will be ample opportunity to sing along.
