This is Free Belfast!: Irish Rebel Songs of the Six Counties recorded in Belfast
Men of No Property
1971
Paredon Records
From Bernadette Devlin’s liner notes to the 17 tracks of spoken word and song, This Is Free Belfast! stands as an aural document of dissent during the period of Northern Ireland’s political and sectarian violence known as The Troubles (late 1960s–1998). Listen to these oral histories set to song while reading about what inspired them in the liner notes. The recording features not only the sound of majestic rallying but the sound of vocalists—known only as McHenry, Wyld, Lavery, and Mcllvogue—portraying love, loss, and renewal in Belfast.
