The moving Ballad of Joe McDonnell by the Wolfe Tones talks about the conflict between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland or the Northern Territory.
The irony is British soldiers in Ireland calling men fighting against them in their OWN country terrorists , you couldn't make it up lol

Ots a very difficult song to listen to .. in the " republic" he roman nazis in z dress were wahung a cannibal freedman zombie creation service ..
The crowd always applause when the names of the hunger strikers are sung to show our appreciation for their brave selfless sacrifice in the cause of Irish freedom god bless each and every one of Ireland's brave freedom fighters of every generation.
Great appreciation
Thank you for playing this beautiful ballad. The British starved our country in the great famine.while one million people died from hunger the British continued to export beef and grain from Ireland. Unforgiveable . You might research more of our history under British rule.
@@eamonnodonohue4130 Sorry but even in 2023 we cannot get it right? There was NO FAMINE !! NONE. To pay the Brit landlord all of our food left there shores , then the potato blight, our people starved and died. FFS do we really need to keep correcting people ,especially IRISH people about our history .
@@eamonnodonohue4130they say an army marches on it’s stomach. But I m think it’s been proven time and time again all over the world, if you starve your people your time as a ruler is numbered.
Free Palestine
I'm sooo honoured to be Irish and so proud of the Irish legends Bobby Sands, Joe McDonnell and the rest of the brave men who sacrificed their life unselfishly for us 💚🤍🧡🍀🇮🇪
I’ve learned a lot about this situation after doing this
@@CanadianReacts Thank you so much for uploading your video 🍀🇮🇪
@@RollmeoneKenobi420 thank you for writing
They were a pack of idiot Bobby Sands & company they are not hero’s
As an Irish man I will always go up on a stage where I can and sing this beautiful song . Joe McDonnell you will never be forgotten, never ever . RIP joe and all the others who died with him.
I’ve learned a lot but sadly I have stopped this channel, just check comments occasionally
@CanadianReacts great news, stick to your word and F Off genocide lover
oh KMA
Thanks for watching and respecting. A long sad history of oppression against the Irish people... The Irish have always fought back against all oppression and injustice around the world... And I'm English
Thanks Vincent

Rip our brave men of Ireland, i was 5 years old when bobby died, am from Co Antrim, i knew something was very wrong ❤ i get emotional everytime i hear wolfe tones sing this. Thanku for reacting.
What a great song. I’ve learned so much from doing this!
I am an Irish man Belfast born and bred and I only pray I could’ve been half the man Joe was and the other Nine Martyrs …… Our revenge will no doubt be the laughter of this generations Beautiful Irish children 🙏Erin Go Bragh 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 Let the people sing 🎶
Thanks Gareth
One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter ✊️
the brits are at again with the support of the Palestinian genocide 👎🏻
When the crowd starting clapping, they were showing respect to the names of the brave men who gave their lives for a greater cause. Our revenge will be the laughter of our children.
It was great to see & hear.
This song always 'hits the nail' with my feelings about the conflict in Northern Ireland.
It was a dirty war and the PIRA did some horrific things but if you threat a peoples so badly. If you deny them a fair democracy and deny them the civil rights which are afforded to the 'other side'...what do think is going to happen?!?
Thanks I’ve learned a lot from people writing to me I appreciate your input.
I agree totally. The IRA made numerous military mistakes leading to the deaths of a lot of innocent people. Remember this these same people who joined the Struggle were average people who literally disregard by a state where they lived in and heart renchingly forgotten about by the country to the south who they loved and wanted to to be so much a part of after being divided by the British. They took on the military might of the invader with no military wisdom at the time.
The PIRA had no choice but to retaliate. They did not start anything.🧐
The chorus has always brought a tear to my eyes no matter how many times I listened to this song.
It’s very moving
It’s a sad but beautiful song
This song touches my heart and soul every time it makes me think of the palestine people and the unjustice they are suffering we as irish people feel their pain we have been there wolfetones thank you for the music from mary in west cork
Thanks Mary
Agree with u what's going on in Gaza is awful 😢 Palestine is suffering my Grandson who's 19 taken me to demonstratens for Palestine I am Irish we live in Bristol
If you are in Toronto, a march will be held today, March 16, 2024, Front & Bay, 2:30 pm. Irish 4 Palestine
Not one person at that March is willing to fight for Palestine or open their doors to house them. They’re there so they look good in front of their friends & cause a hassle for everyone else. Just like the UofT encampment.
@@CanadianReactsagain with the "Palest!n!ans should be rehomed abroad". 🤔
Do you think the Irish should have fled abroad and abandoned their homeland?
I was on vacation in Ireland about 15 years ago & the hotel in Killarney where we stayed was next door to one hosting the Wolfe Tones.
My brother & I went & sat down at a table. A young family was on vacation from Belfast & asked if the seats next to us were taken & if they could sit? Of course! We said.
They were very polite, funny & warm people with great kids.
The show started & about halfway through the Tones said that there was a special guest in the audience & the next song, is dedicated to him. At this, the man got obviously uncomfortable & ended up leaving partway through the song.
His wife then leaned over apologetically for her husband leaving like that. Turns out he was the “guest” & was Joe McDonnell’s cousin.
He returned later & apologized!! We all ended up having a great night!

I have old friends with the last name Strain, although I haven’t seen them in a long while.
That was beautiful. It's not a story. it's hard history
It was great to see the crowd appreciation
@@CanadianReacts That's because because the song is about their buddy. Bed of heaven to all 10. It was a tough time for Irish Republicans and their supporters worldwide. TAL32.

I still find this an amazing song, and so telling
I really appreciate these comments, thanks

That's just crazy, calling people terrorists. My experience is they are the the most lovely people in the world.
Beautiful but very sad song 💚
What a song, right up there with the town I love so well.
I loved this suggestion
People like Joe McDonnell and Bobby Sands etc in normal times they would never have been inside a Police Station nevermind a Gaol Very very brave men and women

He was a brave man who sacrificed his life that Ireland might be free and the people of the 6Counties might enjoy full freedom from foreign rule
Seen them playing this song so many times all over the world. Easily over 50 times 1984 was the first ever time I seen them playing in Belfast
Shane that’s awesome, I love the crowd applause. Can you fill me in why they applaud that verse specifically or was it for the performance?
@@CanadianReacts They were applauding the 10 hunger strikers who gave their lives in 1981 as the Wolfe Tones sings each one of their names
Tiocaidh ar la wat a hero Joe and a folk Irish band seen them 3 times hope they keep it going for many years to come
Cheers
They applauded and just respected the name of Bobby Sands
Yes, I’ve learned since posting the video. It was beautiful.
Had to watch it again. Very emotionial. Going to put it on my Facebook, let's see what happens
Thanks Rosaleen
Hey Rosaleen, I really had a strip torn off the other day for not knowing everything about this event, lol
Best reaction, no shouting or stamping, just an acknowledgement of the hardship . That's it.
Thanks Tony
More love from Cork City 💚💚 up the Rebel County 🇮🇪
Cheers 🍻
🇻🇦🔴⚪🔴
The crowed was clapping Through the last verse as it's the role of honor for the first 5hunger strikers to die
It was amazing!!
This song always gives me goose bumps. It captures what the conflict in N. Ireland was like. I live and grew up in N. Ireland throughout the conflict. It was normal to hear bombs go off and to hear gun shots nearby. As an 8yr old child, I'd walk to my school and British soldiers would point their rifles right at me, trailing me as I walked by.... Imagine doing that to a child? And they dare to call us terrorists?
The lyrics in the song say "I hope to God my life was not in vain".... Well, that's debatable. The British still own N. Ireland. Sinn Fein have sold out to the globalists and we still don't have a workable government.
I watched the movie Belfast a while back and it gave a bit of insight
Decent song. Im guessing ya know it was just about the hunger strike in the maze in 81, if ya listened to the lyrics. A relative was on hunger strike for 53 days in the same place the year before.he lived, thankfully in a way. But commited suicide a while back because of brain damage caused by extreme starvation.
Sad story
So sad.A tough one to take.sorry .
@@derrickmurphy7729 surely is, sad crap happens, unfortunately.

i find it to be a very inspiring story, it's also very sad.

Love from Derry 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Cheers. Thanks. I did 2 Derry Girls video reactions. Have a look
I had to watch that again. I'm English living in Northern Ireland with Scottish/ English parents. I was brought up English Catholic with Scottish, Irish and English Protestant and Catholic grandparents It puts me in a challenging position. Lots of Irish ancestry on both sides. Marriages going back are all mixed, Catholic/Protestant. It's a very difficult but privileged situation to be in and makes me think hard to find answers. You must have some Irish ancestry/connections?
My Great great grandparents were from Cork I think
@@CanadianReacts ah the rebel county well its in your blood then.
God bless lads ❤

Proud Irish men
Victory to the hunger strikerz
Always remembered in Glasgow TAL.
Nice! If you don't trust anyone don't trust anyone.....
Watch come out ya Black and Tans
Thanks I’ll do that soon I hope
I'd like to comment..... The Hunger Strike came about because of Republican prisoners who were fighting a War against the British invaders wanting political status. The British typically wanted to control the world media and so denied them this so as to formulate options that they were only a bunch of upstarts, regular social prisoners, more or less devalue their cause .... What isn't well known is that in Ireland itself successive governments turned a blind eye to the atrocities being carried out by British and unionist forces on the then minority Catholic population. Political parties, Sinn Fein etc were literally BANNED on Irish TV.... The average Irish person in the south of the country were fed a watered down version of events, sometimes to the point of giving people the impression those Northern republicans are always creating trouble....We understand completely what false media does... we've been victims of it for years
Thanks very much for this information Conor
😪 In a nutshell I'm afraid and am so sorry.
Strain is Irish dialect of Strachan
An old Scottish name. Look
at Strabane. We had been in Tyrone.
Hunger strikes is apart of Irish culture the British empire didn't know that 😂
Thanks for writing
The best rebel song. Up the provos
I got shafted by a viewer for not knowing the history. My mistake
@@CanadianReacts when you know Ireland’s history the song will become much clearer.

Hi Kevin. Thanks for writing
Can you react to Streets Of New York by the Wolfe Tones
+James Ward sure James thanks for the suggestion I’ve got a few others to get to first. I appreciate your comments.
Joe is at rest he will return when the time is right maybe he is reborn already but he may have hunger issues. I am not being funny. I have being visited by Pasty O'Hara he said the boys were resting. They are all ok. They gave their lives for their country and they will live on and on after they died they will never be forgotten. I came into Canada as this was happening but I was dealing with my own pain. I am a veteran nurse; who worked the battlegrounds in Belfast. I studied with the first nations medicine keepers and they explained to me that we are all spirit having an earth a human experience. I have stood three big stones in my orchard to remember these brothers who hungered for justice. Oh the love the love the love Joe named for the father of Jesus. I intend to place ten but it takes time. I place three one fell down. I was in ceremony when they came in. I was on a vision quest and I had not eaten for days. Pasty came in told me to go eat that I had always seen things not to worry said the boys were resting . He said eat for us. Who wrote this song I want to sing it this evening at open mic but not sure I can hold the tune
Thanks for sharing

Listen ta "song for marcella " by bik mcfarlene oc at time of interment
Thanks Eddie

OMG, your description is completely wrong. You clearly know nothing of Irish history and specifically of more recent times over 30 years up to the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. There was no such thing as a conflict between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The conflict was against the partition of Ireland by the British government in 1921 and against British occupation in the north with the ultimate objective of a re-united Ireland. The song is about one of the republican paramilitary prisoners who went on a hunger strike in 1981 in protest at having their ‘special category status’ removed. 10 died, including Joe McDonnell. Respectfully suggest you correct your erroneous description.
Thanks for writing
@@CanadianReacts yet you haven’t corrected your description!
@@brianbeag I’m not doing a new video. You are welcome to do your own video.
@@CanadianReacts there is or never has been a war between the south and north parts of the island of Ireland . Your reaction to Brian Fagan is nasty and totally uneducated on the subject. I also would like you to correct your description, please as an Irishman.
