The song we did in Patriot Games was called Pride Of Our Land; writing credit listed as Padraig & Noel Duggan. It's said to have been based on the song Irish Soldier Laddie, which Ken O Malley and Padraig Duggan arranged for the film. Blended Spirits is perhaps a name coined on the spot for the pickup band that Ken O Malley put together for that gig. The players I know offhand are Ken O Malley (guitar, vocals) Cait Reid (fiddle) and myself Richard Cook (whistle).
oh wow ! did you ever come across any sheet arrangements or full complete lyrics? i can hear 2 verses in the movie, ones the main chorus but i can only make out parts of the rest. Did the song begin with the chorus "my brave irish laddies well not be broken...etc." or was their a first part that didnt make it to the movie? I love this song so much, i'd say its even better than irish solider laddie
i can hear the words "ill sing you a song from the land of our father" and "they came and destroyed the pride of our nation.." but it drowns out after that
@@danielarthur5697 Sorry I don't remember if there was any sheet music, probably not. We probably learned it by ear, in the typical Irish trad music way. Ken O'Malley is still around performing regularly I believe, maybe you can get in contact with him.
I just checked, Ken O'Malley has a nice website, he's still performing and it looks like he's also doing Ireland tours. He's the guy to ask about that song.
I'm the whistle player in the band, the lead singer is Ken O'Malley, the fine Irish-born Los Angeles-based musician. The fiddler (the woman with the big round glasses) is Cait Reid. So the music you hear in that scene isn't The Irish Rovers, it's us, a pickup band that was put together for that scene.
I honestly think this performance by Ford in Patriot Games was my favorite of his. Great story, and he felt so genuine, a father using his skills to avenge the violence carried out on his family. Going into a local pub and screaming at IRA brass as a means to an end? Guy was absolutely freaking fearless. Totally believable. Also love Samuel L. Jackson in an Irish pub...just something to be said for seeing that.
This scene always feels good & right. Jack Ryan, though reckless & emotional, behaves in the manner as any father in that position would behave. I suppose it does help having the backing of the entire CIA, but still.
I don't recall much of the movie, but the fact he knows who he's looking for, and the Ira liaison knows who he is without j.r. introducing himself tells of the knowledge these people in their circles that know all about each other.
I’m seriously impressed by the fact that in this scene an Irishman (Limerick man Richard Harris) is butchering an Irish accent. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen that

I love the doubt in Harris's face after Ford's speech. Its just the slightest touch and is gone just as fast. Replaced by nonchalance. Great acting.
Any Irishman will tell you, never underestimate a man seeking revenge. Especially after what they tried to do to his family.
Wait..., they both wasted those two Whiskeys, what a crime and shame.. 🤯 - 🥃 🥃
Archie Hicox: There's a special rung in hell reserved for people who waste good scotch.
@@paulkellerman2603 damn good stuff sir
Maybe so but Jack wasn’t there for the scotch. He wanted the guy who hurt his daughter head but on a stick.
@@paulkellerman2603 Roger that ! 👍👍
@@2410jrod But STILL, you can't wait good spirits like that.. 🥃 🥃 😁
Nice touch re: The Irish Rovers as the pub band
What is the name of the song?

@@RichardDCook is the band not called Blended Spirits?
@@RichardDCook Where can one get a copy of this track?
@@RichardDCook thank you for the info! Where did they shoot this scene at? At paramount studios or a pub? And what is the name of the song?
Sam Jackson best sidekick moment ever

I think you're right about Ford's performance. It's his character's emotions which keep the film together.
And then he was forced to help another Irish cop on the streets of Harlem after meeting him for the first time in the worst possible way 😂😂
“ I will F@#%ing Destroy you. I will make it my mission in Life “ !
Great Line ! Delivered like he meant it !

It was intentional. Shaking the tree.
Classic Harris...pity he was robbed of his oscar....
I don't recall much of the movie, but the fact he knows who he's looking for, and the Ira liaison knows who he is without j.r. introducing himself tells of the knowledge these people in their circles that know all about each other.
Paddy was all over the news and Jack was pretty famous in Paddy's circle after he foiled the assassination attempt on the royals.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Dumbledore!
What's Dumbledore doing here ?
He's arguing with Han Solo.
@@leonardpauca8184 while he's with Mace Windu..
This is when he was acting not doing crappy dumbledore in harry plopper does that answer your question
@@tonydoherty2190 Triggered
😂😂😂 loved this scene
I do wonder what Harris and that Priest were discussing...
Which is the title of the song?
"Pride of Our Land"...it's from a pickup band chosen for this particular scene.
I have a name for god for different groups of people
