OK, loosen your legs and get ready to throw a few shapes across the kitchen floor with this storming track from the masters of Trad Punk, The Pogues.

Here the beautiful ballad, Song For Ireland, is performed by the musical genius, Dick Gaughan. This fine rendition is an example of what can be achieved when Ireland and Scotland work together. Rebel Voice truly hopes that the proud people of Scotland get the freedom they so richly deserve. Perhaps all of Ireland will be […]
