  • This is a song that carries alot of meaning this time of year, telling the story of Joseph Plunkett and the night prior to his execution in 1916. Plunkett was married to Grace Gifford in Killmainham Gaol for a total of seven hours, she never married again.
    A big thank you to our two talented actors Peter Huges and Clodagh Mc Laughlin.
    also a big thank you to Sean Mc Quaid of SMQ productions for secondary camera work.
    Video By: Oscar Bradley
    Song produced by: Mark Donnelly

    And people say these songs are sung best by Republicans,, doesn't make a matter about religion race or Creed it's a talent, and this is one that knows how to use it fair play to the band keep it up ,, remember we all have those that have fallen in all conflicts and wars , may they all rest in peace 🙏 and we all get on for a better tomorrow
