I only ask cause I was cleaning up my old PC earlier and found a rake of rebel and Celtic songs we downloaded to listen to before the Seville game, got me thinking, as I was listening to a few of them  |
Anything is OK in your own home or in the company of exclusively like minded people. Personally, I just dont much like the core group of rebel songs Celtic fans adopted because I think they are a very unrepresentative bunch of songs nothing like the ones you hear in Ireland itself at a folk/traditional session which I love. I have also been to a couple of real out and out rebel bands in noirthern Ireland and I hated the music and the agressive vibe. Stuff like Sam song I really detest because it is just childish and makes light of killing. I have heard some superb old fasioned traditional solo sung Irish rebel songs of real musical quality in a wee country bar in bandit country. If they were all like that I would be more into them.
