  • Na Casaidigh with the popular Irish song about the 1798 Rebellion in Ireland. Na Casaidigh or The Cassidys are a traditional Irish family band from the Gaoth Dobhair (Gweedore) Gaeltacht in County Donegal.
    Lyrics:
    Oh then, tell me Seán O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so?
    "Hush a bhuachaill, hush and listen", and his cheeks were all aglow,
    "I bear orders from the captain:- get you ready quick and soon
    For the pikes must be together by the rising of the moon"
    By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon,
    For the pikes must be together by the rising of the moon
    "And come tell me Seán O'Farrell where the gath'rin is to be?"
    "In the old spot by the river, right well known to you and me.
    One more word for signal token:- whistle out the marchin' tune,
    With your pike upon your shoulder, by the rising of the moon."
    By the rising of the moon, by the rising of the moon
    With your pike upon your shoulder, by the rising of the moon.
    Out from many a mud wall cabin eyes were watching through the night,
    Many a manly chest was throbbing, for the blessed morning light.
    Murmurs ran along the valleys like the banshee's lonely croon
    And a thousand pikes were flashing at the rising of the moon.
    At the rising of the moon, at the rising of the moon.
    And a thousand pikes were flashing by the rising of the moon.
    There beside the singing river that black mass of men was seen,
    High above their shining weapons flew their own beloved green.
    "Death to every foe and traitor! Forward strike the marching tune."
    And hurrah my boys for freedom; 'tis the rising of the moon".
    Tis the rising of the moon, tis the rising of the moon
    And hurrah my boys for freedom; 'Tis the rising of the moon".
    Well they fought for poor old Ireland, and full bitter was their fate,
    Oh what glorious pride and sorrow, fills the name of ninety-eight!
    Yet, thank God, e'en still are beating hearts in manhood burning noon,
    Who would follow in their footsteps, at the risin' of the moon
    At the rising of the moon, At the rising of the moon
    Who would follow in their footsteps, at the risin' of the moon.

    2 years before my parents divorced we went on one last vacation together as a family.
    We basically flew to Ireland, rented a car and drove across the whole country.
    It was the best and most memorable vacation I’ve ever had. Things that really stuck with me were the kind, humorous and overall generous people everywhere you go.
    Breathtaking nature and scenery… endless green fields with cliffs and hundreds of old castle ruins to explore. In the cities and villages there is joyful music at every corner, every pub. I will never forget this country and I hope I get the chance to visit Ireland again.

    As a descendant of 1798 Irish rebels that were sent to Australia, I am very happy that the 1798 Rebellion is remembered. It has to be remembered also that both Catholics (like Michael Dwyer) and Protestants (like Joseph Holt) fought against anti-Irish tyranny in Ireland in 1798. Éirinn go Brách!

Casey was released on the understanding that he would leave for Australia and not return to Ireland.

      @@tomgreene2282 Casey based the lyrics on the failed 1798 uprising in Granard, County Longford. The ballad has been in circulation since circa 1865, two years earlier than the Fenian rebellion of 1867.
      The ballad refers to the outbreak of the 1798 rebellion, as United Irish rebels convey the order to rise. The air of hope and optimism associated with the ultimately doomed rebellion was intended to provide inspiration for rebels preparing to take to the field in the rebellion of 1867.
      The song says that "pikes must be together at the rising of the moon" to engage in rebellion. Civilian pikeman, though outnumbered and outgunned, were active in the 1798 rebellion. This was especially so in the Wexford Rebellion and in Dublin, the pike was useful mainly as a weapon by men and women fighting on foot against cavalry armed with guns.
      Improvised pikes, made from bayonets on poles, were used by escaped Irish rebels during the Castle Hill rebellion in Australia in 1804.
      Weaponry had improved by 1867 and pikes were obsolete and their use was far less effective and not as noteworthy.

      @Gael 20th Century sectarianism has muddied the waters that is Irish history so that to most people today, it is strangely ironic to conceive that Irish nationalism was born of the words and deeds of men like Jonathan Swift, Edmund Burke, Wolfe Tone, Lord Edward FitzGerald, and Charles Parnell -- all Protestants, but all revolutionaries who paved the way for home rule (Hell, Lord Edward gave his life for it.) My own ancestors, despite being Anglicans, despite serving as officers in the British Army and Navy, and despite owning estates in England, supported Catholic emancipation at a time when it was perceived as a threat to British and Dublin interests.
      There is this tendency to assume that Irish identity has always been static and that sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland is between all Protestants and all Catholics. But there was no deliberate attempt to tie Irishness to Catholicism until the late 1800s. (The Reformation failed in Ireland because the Protestant clergies failed to incorporate the Irish language into their religious doctrines, not because Catholicism was woven into Irish patriotic identity.) And the tensions in Northern Ireland are mainly between Protestant and Catholic fundamentalists, not Anglicans and mainstream Catholics.
      The Irish people write Anglicans out of their history at their own peril. The best of modern Irish literature, philosophy and scientific achievement were produced by Anglicans. Anglicans also salvaged most ancient Irish language texts at a time when they could've easily been destroyed.

    This tune was written by Leo Casey about the battle of Granard in 1798, where the local United Irishmen Leader Pat Farrell from Ardagh gathered the men from Longford and Westmeath along the banks of the river Inney outside Ballymahon.

    • @Mary-wo5ln
      @Mary-wo5ln Před 8 měsíci +1

      Thanks for telling us the history. I always guessed it related to Longford because of the name Farrell. The battle of Granard has been written out of history and Ballinamuck was reduced to a line in my day in school. Great revisionism in history since then, they have taken the blood and passion out of it, but trying to hide the truth can never change the history of what happened.

    We live the endless struggle together, I am Tasmanian Aboriginal and we fought our way back from the British colony's declaration that we were extinct, and won land hand-backs from the government. Yet we struggle on, and have the same thoughts as the Irish who, like us, hate the Butcher's Apron, freedom will return once again when the colony accepts its identity from our land.
