Celtic Warrior Tribute Thread

[Luigi]

So I just finished reading "Cogad Gáedel re Gallaib" a medieval Irish manuscript from c.1100 that details the wars of Irish kings against the invading Viking chieftains. Its available in full translation for free on google books. It reads like a highly condensed version of GoT and its dope. I'm all jacked up from reading it so I decided to make a thread dedicated to the Celtic warriors of old who fought fearlessly to defend their land. Long live the Celts!!!

- YOu put Celtic Warrior on the thread title and yet forgot to post the man himself.

LOL excellent thread!

The Dropkick Murphy's song hooked me

I stayed for a short time an an Irishman's house, he made me a tape full of old Irish Rebel songs from his dad's record collection, and I became enchanted with Irish/Scottish culture for a while. Even tried to go study in Cork, but was too expensive. I should go there 1 day before I'm dead

I lost that tape but still remember a few songs.





Here is a song Sinead O'Connor sings in Gaelic, though I don't know what the song is about:
would be good to learn

[Masato]

Here is another old tune that O'Connor sings well about the Irish/English relations

She says its a love song but that's misleading, its a plea to the British to stop torturing them.

Goddamn that woman's voice haunts me, this performance should melt anyone with half a soul



My friend said that a lot of songs on the tape he made me, if you sing them in Northern Ireland you can get arrested, lol. That 'Rising of the Moon' song is about a secret plan to meet up and attack the English


Then later I found a punk version of the same song by No Use For A Name which absolutely rocks:




good thread Luigi, thanks
