So sad that Tommy Makem and the Clancy Brothers are all gone now, But there music lives on. I so glad I got to meet Tommy at his own Pub in Manhattan on New Year's eve back in the 1990's. He sang all my favorites. I'll always remember.

Tommy was one of the very best singers of Irish ballads ever recorded. You can really hear the pride of country in his voice as he sings. Terrific vocals, and a fantastic banjo player.

1798 was the last time the Protestants and Catholics stood together to fight against the imperialism of England. Roddy McCorley was one brave Protestant!

I am a die-hard Dubliners fan (no disrepect to any other great groups and musicians), but this performance is pure brilliance. An chuid eile i síocháin Tommy Makem.

One of the best of the many famous Irish rebel songs sung by Irish people the world over. The memory of the struggles of the United Irishmen for freedom, liberty and fraternity will not be forgotten when we have songs like that. It is an inspiration to all those that stand up to imperialism everywhere.

Oh, see the fleet-foot host of men

[@frankmckay3943]

A really stirring version, that I have listened to many times. Thank you Tommy Makem and Clancy brothers. I understand those who say it is in no way about religion. My grandfather who was Scot-Irish was raised Presbyterian. He married a Catholic girl. May he rest in peace, Roddy McCorley, a brave lad, who is 'Forever Young'!
