Wind that Shakes the Barley marching song HQ - Oro se do bheatha bhaile

[@MisterMac4321]

Not a scripted scene; totally impromptu. Filming had been delayed due to the fog. Because the temperature was quite low that morning and the extras for this scene were getting cold, the assistant director told them to get up and just march up and down the road to help warm them up. At some point one of the extras just started singing this song and the rest joined in on the chorus (it's a reasonably well known folk tune in Eire). Ken Loach (the film's director) heard the singing and immediately rushed over and told the camera team to start filming. A wonderful bit of serendipity that really added to the whole ambush scene, giving a sense of how the Flying Columns had evolved from a rabble into a cohesive fighting force by that point in the struggle.

Amazing ! 😮

[@noeonoohno4219]

Absolutely fake story. They're holding a bike and guns? Extras wouldn't do that keeping warm. Cute story but nah.

Is anyone aware of any artist that has sung this song (Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile) on any album, and does it appear on the movies original soundtrack

[@skbee3393]

This is an Irish folk song, the original author wrote the lyrics we know today I believe to inspire the IRA. The best version is by the dubliners.

[@ndirish4569]

@@skbee3393 I agree, but there's a version that's better than the ones that are available on YT. Faster paced.

[@mcgrudo]

@@ndirish4569 It's a march, so faster pace is redundant. The title means Ah, welcome home and can be changed to suit it's needs. Gráinne Mhaol's exploits are a common motif but you could sing it about anything, memorable night out or that time X did Y. Represented in the film it's the Cork Brigade set to a sombre march

Fantstic scene. Not sure a flying column would want to be so conspicuous as they moved towards their ambush position though...but I'll go with the director on this one.

I think this scene while undoubtedly stirring, to me strikes a false note. These men would I think have been tense and apprehensive certainly introspective, knowing what awaited them. To kill or to be killed. Also probably very much on the alert.

My own father, born in Co Mayo in 1896 lived through these times and played his part. They were always aware that death was a very real and imminent possibility. Some were thinking about their families and some silently prayed. All were willing to pay the price if that brought freedom for Ireland.
