Song of the Week – Wearin’ o’ the Green

Long a favorite of Irish Republican partisans, this song dates back to around 1798. During that period, a law was passed that prohibited wearing “revolutionary insignia” upon penalty of hanging.

This weekend I’ll be in Loch Salann in Artemesia. Because I’ll be traveling, I’ll be a day late posting next week’s song.

After that, there’s not a lot going on until Trimaran Coronation at the end of the month and Fools War the following weekend. Perhaps I’ll see you there.
