I feel very proud that my cousin Peadar Kearney wrote this song in 1907, he wrote the lyrics to "A Soldier's Song which is now the Irish national anthem. Brendan, Dominic and the Behand family were related to Peadar Kearney. They were all great historians, freedom fighters by the spoken and written word,

This is an "updated" version of the lyrics - Peadar Kearney wrote "From Bhéal an Átha Bui to Pieter’s Hill", presumably before 1916, but this has been replaced by "From the GPO to Boland's Mill", because people might know them better than the Battle of the Yellow Ford and Collenso.

I remember the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem singing this song. I think Dominic Behan wrote it.

No, it was Peadar Kearney - he was Brendan and Dominic's uncle and wrote the irish National Anthem amongst many other songs.

I love Gerry Fox. I've never seen his face, though I've heard his music. The Songs and Music of the Redcoats was a beautiful album.

What a great clip. Dominic Behan being the last to sing solo, and singing a song that he wrote. Does anyone have any idea as the origins of the clip. Rediffusion TV and producer Elkan Allan (Ready Steady Go) must place it early/mid 60's in the UK.

No, it was his uncle, PEADAR KEARNEY I believe who wrote it - although it really does suit the satyrical style of the great Dominc Behan,

Brilliant performance of this song and not a guitar or bousouki in sight .I`d guess early 1960`s

I loved this song growing up. I think it helped shape my appreciation for really fine sarcasm.

I wonder was this filmed around the time of the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising.

I was curious myself, did a bit of digging and found a forum post detailing that it was made by Rediffusion London and aired April 6th, 1966. It was a TV documentary on the 1916 rising, even more surprising is that it was a British production, nothing to do with RTE.

Really cool to see Dominic Behan in this. Is there more appearances by him available?

For someone so prolific, there seems to be almost no video footage of him - on KZitem at least!
