Overview

From the rollicking welcome of A Festive Song' to the defiant battle cry of 'Watchword of Labour,' Songs Of Freedom accomplishes the difficult task of making contemporary music out of old revolutionary songs. In these arrangements, the inspired performance of a rocking band updates the timeless lyrics of James Connolly into timely manifestos for today's young rebels. As Connolly himself repeatedly urged, nothing can replace the power of music to raise the fighting spirit of the oppressed. The music ranges from traditional Irish airs to American rhythm and blues. (60 minutes)'
