Ireland north and south





The 12th of July has often been a hard day in Ireland, especially in the north, a day of division and anger and violence.

With the music talked of in the posts below, I offer a wish that it will become a day of peace and connection.




now playing: Radio Ballads: Northern Ireland

Music Road: Irish music, Irish landscape

Creative practice: the music of what happens

From Sean Tyrell's song The 12th of July(Lament for the Children)

Come pledge again your heart and your hand
One grasp that never will sever
Our password be our native land
Our motto, love forever
And let the orange lily be
Your badge, my patriot brother
It's the everlasting green for me
And we for one another
