Planxty – Follow Me Up To Carlow

This fine Irish rebel song, which is a firm favourite of Rebel Voice, has some of the best lyrics to be found anywhere; ‘Rooster of a fighting stock, would you let a Saxon cock Crow out upon an Irish rock, fly up and teach him some manners’

Tracy Chapman – Talkin’ Bout A Revolution

Tracy Chapman was a huge talent, but has sadly disappeared from public of late. Rebel Voice wonders where she has gone to. This song is every bit as relevant today in Ireland, Scotland, England and the US as it was when first released. So what has changed in our societies? Enjoyed this? why not share?

The Undertones – My Perfect Cousin

Anyone from Ireland will recognize the sentiment in this song from Derry band, The Undertones. The lyrics are of a standard to make Rebel Voice jealous. ‘Cabbage’ rhyming with ‘University Challenge’… classic.

Christy Moore – Ordinary Man

This song was a strong criticism upon the state of society when it was written decades ago, yet it fits our world today. How much has changed? Rebel Voice supports Irish music and socialism. This song is both.

Justice – One Shot Paddy

Another favourite among Republicans everywhere. There used to be some great t-shirts to be viewed at the time that One Shot Paddy was plying his wares.

Mick Lavelle – Comedic Green Fields Of France

This is an alternative version of the famous song, ‘The Green Fields of France’ in which the singer laments the invention of the song to begin with. It goes down well in Irish pubs across the planet, although the song is in danger of becoming a parody of itself.
