I first heard this song in Dublin. Every person Irish person stood to attention with their hands over their hearts and tears running down their faces. I have never been so moved by a song. I am South African of Irish decent and am proud of the Irish and Ireland.
I first heard it at the Mayfair in Glasgow, I was too young for the Barrowlands. Although I did manage one in Dublin and another one on the south side of Glasgow which was huge. I remember we could sing WT songs at the games but not any more. Strangely (or perhaps not). I decided to watch the Glasgow City fans during a recent old firm match and was honestly shocked they were singing the BBs. Complete double standards. I remember the late 80s, early 90s before they ckamped down on the Cs, sadly the U's don't seem to be fairing much better even though they have cut out the ss and BS et al.
Wonderful song touches my heart and soul it could be for the palestine and their brave beautifully people we as irish people feel their pain ticfaidh ar la
Are you proud of Enniskillen, teebane, Warrington,white cross, abercorn restaurant, bloody Friday or the abduction and subsequent murder of Jean mcconville, a single mother of 10 who was murdered by the ira and became one of the disappeared, on behalf of all the people butchered by these animals what is it that you’re so proud off ?
@Alan Collins your comment has nothing to do with this song or the person the songs about... maybe you should contact the police, they may be able to help you..... .
The pain and love are equal regarding 1981 ... I have a theory the cowardly demons manufactured Falklands War sacrificing best men of both Argentina UK to save broken twisted evil Establishment guilty of murder of 10 martyrs
gives me goosebumps every time I watch this recording of Joe McDonnell, Tommy's voice is just incredible and he sounded exactly the same only last yr 2023 in Musgrave Park in Cork, they all did, was an absolutely incredible gig ❤💚🤍🧡
What a group of professionals at their trade best rebel singers in the world a 100 percent true,, Not a flaw in the singing of that famous tune,, I love the wolf tones and I always will love them,, Been to a few of their concerts in Ireland 🇮🇪 and they were just so beautiful of a group May god bless them and the Irish ☘️ ❤❤❤❤❤ The way that fella sang the joe McDonnell song was just so beautiful and it’s the longer version of it ,, Wolf tones are known all over the world and the people just love them,, Especially the Scottish people,,
I love your song and being Palestinian, makes me resonate with every word you sing and all the pain they carry. Freedom for Ireland and Palestine! Our day will come! Why not sing for Palestine?
Scotsman, a beautiful and tearful ballad to the brave Irish patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom, may God shine on them all forever more.
My Irish friends! I wish you will always remember who you are! With love from Russia! Your music is one of the most life-affirming things in our whole World!
In the end Madrid will not be able to stop you. If you as a mass of people see yourself as different...you are different...end of story. Your independence will come.
The hell we as a people went through....the people of palistine are living today 😢... you dare to call me a terrorist while you look down your gun is a generational quote....
im 13 years old, and listening to a playlist of irish songs, and the next one was taking a while. i went to check what it was, and heard the beginning of this song. it sent chills down my spine. RIP to those on hunger strike, to help get us full freedom
God bless, Bobby Sands, Francis Hughes, ray mccreesh, patsy o'hara, joe mcdonnell, martin hurson, kevin lynch, kieron docherty, thomas mcelwee, and mickey divine. And all the people of lenadoon and andersonstown. I will never forget you.
Do you remember me? 1year on and I still feel the same. Each time I think of you all it brings tears to my eyes. May God bless each and every one of you, AMEN.
I'm going to their last concert in June,their last one , can't wait, brilliant band, first time saw them in siamsa cois li when I was 16 and I'm 55 now
My mad mate introduced me to this song in about 1984. He was a squaddie serving over in the North of Ireland but used to bring home Rebel cassettes to Paisley. Feckin bizarre when you think about it. One of those songs you hear for the first time and know it's a master piece. God Bless the 10. Thatcher can rot in Hell.
I became totally Irish with the struggle of this special land. I am a duel nationality born in England...Irish father English mother. It took me z good while to shake off the imperial coat that I had to wear in that Kingdom. I quote Christy Mooree, 'Ride On''...long live Ireland.
Fair play to ye Tony...I had relatives who were English, smart men and women but, they could never understand why we wanted out of the Kingdom...even though we were an island, with our language and culture, which is being destroyed bit by bit, by the way...as is England's too...but I do not hate any present day English men or women, it's like blaming today's Germans for the Holocaust...we have learned to live together, for better or worse, like an arranged marriage....LOL'
@@sherp2u1 A wise and thoughtful understanding of all the shit that goes down. Its friday night morning here in France, I had a great nite with french, german, irish and arabs. The things that they taught us to divide us etc. is just for me dust in the wind. I thank you for your thoughtful reply. What comes into my head now...are the pipes Finbar Furey...Rocks of Bawn!
The first time I heard this song great sobs broke from me when he got to the line "May God shine on you Bobby Sands". Totally unexpected. Haven't cried that hard since my best friend died in 1986.
I'm sure that' as Joe McDonnell looks down from heaven, he is reassured when he sees how the Ten Martyrs are now revered by freedom-loving Irish and other people around the world. Somebody - many somebodies - do indeed "give damn."
Wee in the North not only love the Wolfe Tones for bringing to life the history of our struggle in the North , but for their undenying love for Ireland . While those in the South turn a blind eye to what we nationlists have to endure from the British and the DUP. We in the North turn to the South for help while the South never turn to the North. We need more people like the Wolfe Tones make people sit up and listen, making We're on the one road a reality and not a dream
Joe McDonell and those other brave Irish patriot's who died while on the hunger strike shall never ever be forgotten their names shall always burn bright
Joe McDonell was a true Irish patriot who sacrificed his life for the cause of Ireland against and in the face of British imperialism. We will always remember those brave Irish Patriots who gave their lives for Ireland.
It brings a tear to the eye and an overwhelming sense of nostalgia hearing this. I remember as a schoolboy in Larne, 20m north of Belfast, our Canadian history teacher asked us to do a history project on a subject of our choice. I chose Ireland's struggle for Freedom and visited the H-Blocks and attended the funerals of the hunger strikers, including Bobby Sands and Joe McDonnell.
So why didn’t you join the provos instead of crying at what was going on in front of your eyes you armchair republican! Just shut up with your pointless comments
The fighting Irish. I don't think there is another nation that has given it to the a major world power like the people of Ireland did to the British. Rest easy Joe McDonnell. The 10 brave men and the rest of the men and women that gave their lives for the freedom of their people. TAL.
RIP Joe McDonnell. Your music speaks to Ukrainians around the world too. This makes us think of all of our heros as well as yours. This also makes us remember bold Alexiy Navalny, the brave Russian-Ukrainian freedom fighter.
What a great version of "Joe McDonnell", one of those rare songs that gets stronger as the years go by. It certainly hasn't lost any meaning or feeling. The message is as true today as it would have been in 1981. Well done lads, hope you are proud of what ye have achieved over the years. The Tones are as an important part of my heritage to me as anything else. Number one fan and supporter David Hughes, Singer/songwriter from Longford Town, Éire.
Ive been playing this song on my show, since I discovered it a few months ago, one of the most powerful songs ever written. Here in Australia we didnt hear too much about the hunger strike..but gee its a bloody powerful song, makes u appreciate what u have...

Still listening to this sad song I can't go out because of this horrible corona virus listening to songs like help keep me going great Irish hero Joe McDonnell 💚👍
My gran is from Tyrone and I grew up hearing terrible stories from the early 1900s . I few yrs back I visited Belfast finally and did a black taxi tour with an amazing cabby/tour guide - so well worth the history lessons I received - I had just visited Rome and yes there is so much history there but its long dead, Belfast history hovers over those people and that place like its still there
Greatest version ever. Happy birthday Bobby Sands and thank you for your sacrifice from Orange County, NY. There are no words to give justice to what you and the ten have done for us.
I was at this concert, at Citywest. Noel Nagle announced my engagement and dedicated The Foggy Dew to my fiance and I. As you might imagine, it was the proudest moment of my life. I've seen The Wolfe Tones 44 times.
Beautifully done ..with a wonderful full concert orchestra...the message remains the same ..freedom of expression by Irish people in England is still severely punished financially by the Media courts , no defence as they will claim that all your defence bundles are lost and will side with the English legal team and will bully you and intimidate you if you contact them for help in an Irish accent...even though you are severely ill....it is the worst human rights violations imaginable for decades and not a word from the English media despite being emailed thousands of times but no response is forthcoming..the phone lines are not available and you are powerless ..Do Not Buy English is a media recommendation and sanction because of this crime against humanity ,cruelty and brutality
This is a great song about an ordinary man that brought greatness upon himself......like his other nine comrades........I still carry a wee card about him in my wallet.......I will never forget him.
The bravest of the brave,a soldier of Ireland 🇮🇪

My gran is from Tyrone and I grew up hearing terrible stories from the early 1900s . I few yrs back I visited Belfast finally and did a black taxi tour with an amazing cabby/tour guide - so well worth the history lessons I received - I had just visited Rome and yes there is so much history there but its long dead, Belfast history hovers over those people and that place like its still there
Greatest version ever. Happy birthday Bobby Sands and thank you for your sacrifice from Orange County, NY. There are no words to give justice to what you and the ten have done for us.
💚💚couldn’t have said it better🇮🇪
I'm a very proud Irishman love the Wolfe tones🇮🇪💚🍀
Such a powerful version of an already fantastic song. Cheers from Sweden!
Proud of you all all heroes genuine heroes.
I was at this concert, at Citywest. Noel Nagle announced my engagement and dedicated The Foggy Dew to my fiance and I. As you might imagine, it was the proudest moment of my life. I've seen The Wolfe Tones 44 times.
Highland Paddy gave this a massive 👍🍀🍀💚💚💚
One of the greatest songs ever written.
Beautifully done ..with a wonderful full concert orchestra...the message remains the same ..freedom of expression by Irish people in England is still severely punished financially by the Media courts , no defence as they will claim that all your defence bundles are lost and will side with the English legal team and will bully you and intimidate you if you contact them for help in an Irish accent...even though you are severely ill....it is the worst human rights violations imaginable for decades and not a word from the English media despite being emailed thousands of times but no response is forthcoming..the phone lines are not available and you are powerless ..Do Not Buy English is a media recommendation and sanction because of this crime against humanity ,cruelty and brutality
This is a great song about an ordinary man that brought greatness upon himself......like his other nine comrades........I still carry a wee card about him in my wallet.......I will never forget him.
