Platform - The Brave Unitedmen (written by Paddy McGuigan)

The Brave Unitedmen - written by Paddy McGuigan and sung here by a group called Platform from their album 'In Good Form'. Singer is Ray Kennedy I think. I've enjoyed this number for years and I'm fairly certain (99.9%) not too many will have heard this so enjoy this fantastic song about the Rebellion of '98. The sound quality isn't great as it's ripped from an old cassette tape so on the off-chance that somebody has this version on digital media please let me know - I'd love a copy.

God bless good Protestant men and women who died for Ireland, we Catholic’s are their brethren it’s only England divided us. And when England is put to rights then again we will be united.
God Save Ireland ! 🇮🇪

Paddy was a man with Fenian blood, through and through . His songs will live into the next century and beyond . Eire Amhain - Oilean Amhain.
