The 1867 Uprising


Listen Later

The 1867 uprising was another failed uprising across Ireland organised by the Irish Republican Brotherhood. These few songs are about men who fell during the uprising including Peter O'Neill Crowley and a young lad by the name of Ned Kelly from Kilcash in Co. Tipperary.


Both borrowed the air from Charles Kickam's Poor Blind Patrick Sheehan, based on an older Celtic air to which many laments for fallen rebels were written.


Songs include:

Poor Blind Patrick Sheehan - Charles Kickham

The Ballad of Peter O'Neill Crowley - Edmond Houlihan (Rambling Jack)

Rebel on the Run - John Ryan
