The Irish Traditional Music Archive (ITMA) is committed to providing free, universal access to the rich cultural tradition of Irish music, song and dance. If you’re able, we’d love for you to consider a donation. Any level of support will help us preserve and grow this tradition for future generations.
As a song, it has received widespread attention for decades, not only by Irish nationals, but by people nearly everywhere in the U.S. and elsewhere. It was popular as a march among céilíbands of the 1950s and 60s, and often played at céilí dances when ushering people onto the floor for a Siege of Ennis.
