The Music That Made WE volume 5 continues with our first collaboration; this one with Rex Halligan of #ShirtlessHistory to discuss Irish history (1740 to 1930s) as best can be abbreviated with the format.

Rex is a sexy historian based in New York, where he also co-produces Fire and Fury Burlesque.  He began his Shirtless History series informally (and still only whenever the mood strikes) during the pandemic, covering topics often (but not limited to!) on the topic of emerald isle. We get a crash course in a friendly, concise way, and with tunes that represent the pride and tumultuous times leading just before the Troubles (come back next year for that one; it'll be a doozy).

This soundtrack includes mainstays of Irish popular music like Dropkick Murphys, The Pogues, and Seo Linn plus some deeper cuts and takes on traditional melodies. + Stick around for Viktor’s hidden bonus track.
