Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem & Friends - The Irish Uprising [1916-1922]

This magnificent double album was released in 1966 originally as a book and vinyl record combination to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland. I'm re-releasing it for the 100th anniversary celebrations of this important event in the history of Ireland. The album is made up of songs by The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem, Kay Hart, Anne Byrne, Poetry readings, Proclamations and interviews of many who fought in the rebellion. It's obviously aimed as much as at the American market as to those in Ireland but if you ignore the intro it all settles down to an excellent listen and a unique historical document.
