- This song commemorates the Easter Rising of 1916, which ultimately resulted in the Irish Free State. I play on 5 string banjo, clawhammer style, in a aCGCD tuning.

I have a new appreciation of the banjo. Great version.
I started learning to play banjo after watching this. Incredible! Thanks from Ireland.
Thank you for your kind comment. Another tune that works well in open G tuning on banjo is Andy Irvine's version of "Longford Weaver"...perhaps I will do a video with that one too.
Best version i've heard so far and i've heard quite a few
Thank you for your kind words.
As an Irish person, I love this. I do hope that someday Ireland can have full independence. I hope that you're doing well in times like this.
and Ireland long a province be a nation once again.
Andy! You are an Inspiration! just got a banjo and named it after my grand mother "betty". she would want me to learn this! thankyou.
Thank you so much, MIchael. You can throw in the verse I left out, too!
Fantastic version! Can't stop listening to this as I'm just starting to experiment with double c tuning. I'm getting there slowly! Thanks for posting.
Absolutely amazing version of this tune, been coming back to this over and over again, fair play man
I'm on the fence between banjo and accordion right now....in learning to play one or the other, and this video just made it one million times harder.
good job man.
That version is fantastic, perfect
That was very, very good.. mike
Thank you so much, that is very kind of you. It is an Arthur E Smith Shelburne II Internal Resonator banjo, made sometime around 1979. It is somewhat like some of the Bacon models from the turn of the century.
Love it brother literal tears
Incredible 👍👏🏼
Wow, absolutely brilliant job Andy!
you have just done what I've being waiting yrs for, brought 2 definite but different mountain/glin (around an open fire) types of wonderful styles together, just how we know music was mastered. beautiful arrangement and singing, well done. favourite foggy dew arrangement(being biased cause I think more Cajun/bluegrass and Irish songs should be recorded) love it
that is completely awesome sir! i hope to play half that well one day!
So dope! good job!
I love it
Best regards from Danmark
Thanks, Jens. The tab for it is on Banjo Hangout under my name, Andy Alexis
@@AndyAlexis I can not play banjo mister but love your way you play
Brilliant
this is one of my favorite Irish rebel tunes you sound great although some of the words are different but other then that absolutely breathtaking
Ah, well i'm happy that you are on the mend. I'm new to tabs aswell but i want to learn. I've been enjoying listening to those you mention, though Cathy Fink is new to me, so i'll take time to listen to her. In the meantime, i await your tabs and wish you well with your recovery ~ all the best Andy. Thank you!
Awesome performance. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for your kind words. You have an awesome name...
Beautiful, my brother. all its missing is the pipes
Tobias,
It is tuned aCGCD: it is the same as "double C" tuning except the fifth string is tuned up a whole step/2 frets, to match the first string at the 7th fret.
im barely irish (1/16th) so im no true authority of good irish/celtic music. but goddamn do i know an excellent musician when i hear one!!!!! exceptional work Andy! :)

So sorry; I had surgery right about the time you emailed, I am more or less recovered now. I'd be happy to send you the tab for the piece; it is in Tabledit format, but there is a free reader. Other Irish songs that work pretty well are "Nancys Whiskey"; most of us banjo players, though, don't really emphasize singing with the banjo. The guy who played with the Clancy Brothers, Tommy Makem? is worth listening too, and Pete Seeger, and Cathy Fink, are all very skilled at singing w/ banjo.
Howaya. Any chance you can make a vid on how to play this? Got me banjo last October and could only learn one song so far. Need a good Irish tune to keep the lads happy! :) thanks
The sound of this banjo is just fantastic! What model is it? And the singing and banjoplaying is also topclass!
Hi, really good, fantastic, I love this song and the way do ist. How is your Banjo tuned?
greetings from Germany
Tobi
Tremendous! Thumbs up!
Have you checked your inbox lately?
The method of playing goes by a number of names; mostly commonly called clawhammer (after the shape of your right hand) or frailing. There are lots of instructional videos on youtube...
i'm french and I love this song it's the same song than song of partisan in french .
It is a great, powerful song with a strong melody, in any language that it is sung in! Thank you for your kind comments.
☘🇮🇪🇺🇸☘
what is that method of playing?
Does anyone happen to have tabs for this song? It's so awesome!
+Ryan van Nood Thanks, Ryan! I will try and put the tab up at Banjo Hangout tonight. It is a bit of a trick: it is double-C tuning except with the fifth string up to A rather than G: the net tuning is aCGCD.
+Andy Alexis Thanks so much Andy! Your version has so much more punchy drive than others I've found.
Will you happen to be putting it up in pdf format? Since an update on my computer a year or so ago, I haven't been able to open TableEdit.
+Ryan van Nood I will do that, yes. I'll reply again when it is up.
+Ryan van Nood Tab is here:

+Andy Alexis Cheers! I haven't been playing much lately, but this tune inspired me to want to pick it up again. Sinead o'Connor sang it live for Connor McGregor's walkout at UFC 189, and he's fighting again for the title in two weeks, so, as a fan, it seems relevant to learn this one, too. Thanks again!
@Gaz10t
This probably wouldn't be a good choice to start out with: it is in a slightly odd tuning. I'd be happy to send you the tab if you send me a private note.
One tune that works really well in open G is "Nancy's Whiskey" which I think is widely done...
Hi Andy! Perfect version! Can you tell me what are the chords you're playing when you sing? =)
If you play 5 string banjo, the tablature is here:
www.banjohangout.org/myhangout/music.asp?id=14718
It is in this tuning: aDGCD, and the way I play it here it is in D minor: I often play it in Em, so add a whole step to each of these if your voice is high enough.
Dm (It was down by the glen one Easter)
C (morn, to the...)
Bb (city fair rode...)
Dm (I..there Ireland's line of marching...)
C( men, in squadrons...)
Bb(passed me...)
Dm(by...no...)
F (pipes did hum, no battle...)
C (battle drums, did...)
Dm (sound their loud..._
Bb (tattoo...and the...)
Dm (angelus bell, o'er the Liffey...
C (swell, rang...)
Dm (out in the foggy dew...)
@@AndyAlexis Thanks a lot for your answer! Thanks also for the tabs. Could you tell me what are those chords in this tuning?
@Jaxter5
I'd be happy to send it to you. It is in an odd tuning, though. Send me a private note with your email and I'll send you the tab.
Do you still have the tabs for this version?
Yes, it is on Banjo Hangout:
www.banjohangout.org/tab/browse.asp?m=detail&v=21591
It is in Sawmill tuning..except there is a trick: the fifth string get tunes 2 frets higher than usual: so without capo in D minor, it is Adgcd, and with a capo in E minor, Beade (I just tune the fifth string up, never had a problem with tuning it up to B).
