Irish Lad Tells The Story of 'Grace'

[@MetalManTT]

Im a protestant from a very loyalist area in belfast. I grew up in the troubles and was badly effected by it all. What i did was educate myself on the irish history and found the truths. I left loyalist bands and change my ways. I want all us irish born to put as much of the pasts behind us as we can and respect each other going forward. We all have a huge battle ahead. The Crown treated the irish like scum and invaded. Black and tans were evil dirt. Yes im a very proud irish man as i know the facts. God bless all of this island. Any nasty bitter comments youll be blocked and ignored keyboard warriors ❤️🇮🇪🙏

Best irish utuber ever

[@alicebenson8512]

I tell ya, I cry whenever thus song gets played. The pure agony of knowing what could've been in peace.

[@Jen999]

This is a heartbreaking story.. and know you will tell it well.. Also know hearing it will make me cry.. for Joseph and for Grace.. You bring your stories to life, Davy.. and you honor these courageous men and women by doing so.. thank you🌹☘️ Jen999💙

[@davyholden]

Thank you so much Jen. It's a heartbreaking story that has created one of the greatest Irish songs of all time.

[@Jen999]

@@davyholden Thank you Davy.. for helping us all to remember🌹☘️

[@darrengriffin9842]

May Joseph Grace and Baby Plunkett rest in eternal peace. And may the green sod of Erin lay gently on their souls

[@peterallison-ex4yy]

It truly is an Irish love tale and one that brings many to tears upon hearing the story behind it. Everytime its played it still has that emotional impact but also fills many an Irish heart with bursting pride. Brilliant as always Davy. Go raibh maith agat 🇮🇪💚🍀✊

[@davyholden]

Thank you very much Peter

[@Siniwassum]

I was named after this song as my fathers great grandmother (originally from Ireland) would sing it to him all the time. It holds such great meaning and importance to history.

[@pauls.2526]

Good man Davy, we need more people like you in Ireland 🇮🇪

[@garydoyle1467]

Great content. I got engaged in kilmainham gaol, outside Joseph's cell, as his cell is open to the public for some reason

“The great Gaels of Ireland are the men that God made mad, For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad.”

[@sandidavis820]

This is one of the most beautiful and tragic stories in Irish History. So many brave men and women were murdered by the british. The british empire has so much blood on their hands, and so much to answer for. I hope to live to see the day they pay for their crimes. Thank you, Davy for all your hard work and for keeping the memories of our beloved Ireland alive.

[@karlbarry6004]

That was well put I'm Irish republican since I was 8yearse old in school I think davey is brilliant at knowledge off our history it makes me very proud irishman that sacrifice they made the ultimate goal was complete Irish freedom

[@MarieRyan-ym3bv]

Thanks Davy God save Ireland 🙏🇮🇪🙏🇮🇪🙏

[@arctrader]

A story well told Davy, God bless you sir.

[@davyholden]

Thank you!

[@hibernii]

Really enjoying the videos, Davy. Such a beautiful and tragic song.

[@davyholden]

Thank you!

[@ricardolorrio8228]

the song was writen 70 years after the event... and yet, it could have been writen the day after... this song gives me Goosebumps...

[@somebodyCHBiH]

Another sad thing is that the Plunkett family did not accept Grace as Joseph's widow. Grace never married after Joseph's death and they are both burried at Glasnevin Cemetry, as many other irish heroes. Addendum: Grace came from a Protestant family, Joseph was a devout catholic and she converted to catholicism.

[@Dublinireland5]

As England remembers their dead soldiers on Remembrance Sunday. It cannot be forgotten the 25,000 the British sent to Northern Ireland with rifles on their shoulders.. 🇮🇪💓🇮🇪💓🇮🇪💓🇮🇪💓🇮🇪💓🇮🇪💓 we never forget the Irish Republic army that had the guts to stand up for the love of Ireland we remember those that lost their lives never to be forgotten ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@margiemorgan5597]

Thankyou for the info ❤

[@enolam99]

You sound like a Newfoundlander from the "Southern Shore" of the Avalon Peninsula.

[@CharCanuck14]

Not surprising as many a Newfoundlander has Irish ancestry.

[@NotreDame4_Life-jk2gh]

So I live in Nebraska in the United States and I am in my high school’s band but we don’t have any orchestra, so are there any rebel songs you know of that would work for us?

[@NotreDame4_Life-jk2gh]

Like a Brass band: saxophones, trombones, tubas, clarinets, baritones, mellophones, and clarinets. And I myself play a Trombone. And thank you and God Bless You

[@davyholden]

@@whotube3643fully agree with this. The Foggy Dew would be amazing

[@NotreDame4_Life-jk2gh]

Thank you

[@Alfies-q4s]

Thats sad 😢😢😢

[@otaku1524]

Never heard the song, but if it had tangential relation to the Rising, probably won't be happy.

[@spudmurphy9340]

What’s the film part of this video of Joseph Mary?

[@CharCanuck14]

I think it may be from the film "Michael Collins" (with Liam Neeson & Alan Rickman) but it's been so long since I've seen it, I'm not completely certain.

[@cd87104]

@davyholden do you know the song kitty/taddy oneil? the version i know of is by the alias acoustic band

[@UnitSe7en]

Does this have anything to do with LGIO?

[@corrocot1]

I always thought it was a rather dreary and anaemic song, not a patch on "James Connolly" or "Kevin Barry".

[@paulkenneally789]

Jack and Jones you are wearing is Danish.. get an Irish brand!!

[@brucelownhole]

I don't like you but you need to do better. These stories need more weight than a 4 minute skirting. Plan some longer, detailed stories. This all seems half baked. Read us a book, not a post it note.

[@bmaria3601]

I think you mean you do like him!

[@davyholden]

You could have put that comment in a nicer way, but cheers. Appreciate it. Look forward to seeing your video on it.

[@bmaria3601]

@davyholden take no notice , you keep doing what you love

[@goose9515]

​@@davyholdenthere's place to lots of types of telling history, your short condensed telling of this part of Irish History was really good and I liked it

[@davyholden]

@@goose9515thanks so much!
