Not a scripted scene; totally impromptu. Filming had been delayed due to the fog. Because the temperature was quite low that morning and the extras for this scene were getting cold, the assistant director told them to get up and just march up and down the road to help warm them up. At some point one of the extras just started singing this song and the rest joined in on the chorus (it's a reasonably well known folk tune in Eire). Ken Loach (the film's director) heard the singing and immediately rushed over and told the camera team to start filming. A wonderful bit of serendipity that really added to the whole ambush scene, giving a sense of how the Flying Columns had evolved from a rabble into a cohesive fighting force by that point in the struggle.
@@ndirish4569 It's a march, so faster pace is redundant. The title means Ah, welcome home and can be changed to suit it's needs. Gráinne Mhaol's exploits are a common motif but you could sing it about anything, memorable night out or that time X did Y. Represented in the film it's the Cork Brigade set to a sombre march
Our government is following exactly what Sweden has done and now in Sweden they have 55 no go zone's that the police will not enter and an average of 36 gang rapes a day . Ireland is well on its way to being destroyed.
I found out my ancestor made or inspired this song prince bonnie charlie from the jacobite uprisings im a wallace Robertson and stewart. also from clan Carroll too O'Carrols of Eile ciannachta 🤷♂️ don't know any tho

Amazing ! 😮
Absolutely fake story. They're holding a bike and guns? Extras wouldn't do that keeping warm. Cute story but nah.
proof?

Is anyone aware of any artist that has sung this song (Oro, se do bheatha 'bhaile) on any album, and does it appear on the movies original soundtrack
This is an Irish folk song, the original author wrote the lyrics we know today I believe to inspire the IRA. The best version is by the dubliners.
@@skbee3393 I agree, but there's a version that's better than the ones that are available on YT. Faster paced.
