'What people! ...they are real Proletarians and sans culottes, and Irish besides -- wild, ungovernable, fanatical Gaels. Nobody knows what the Irish are like unless he has seen them.'
- Frederich Engels
Who I'd like to meet:
Irish Rebel Balladeers, Fenians, Freedom Fighters, Socialists, Fenian Rock n Rollers, Paddy Punkers, Shanty Town Celtic Rappers, Gaelic Bards, Psycho-Ceilidh City Billies, Gaelic Highlanders, HillBilly Lowlanders, Hibernian Low-riders, Lowtech Highlifes, Rocky Mountain Top Boogie Down Bronxites and all those great musicians who wish to help to further the spread of Irish Rebel Rhythm....
It may be some of your own brilliance you see. I sent my friend Fred, of The Clock Tones, your Halween Hooley, which he very much enjoyed.... Fred has Swindle Radio, from France, so the ideas have been batted back and forth across the Atlantic.
Evolutionary love to my Bronx Irish Republican friends!
