A song or two for St Patrick's

You'll be fed up with diddle-i-dee-dee music before the day is out. So here are some of my recent discoveries:

• Viva la quinta brigada - from Christie Moore's tribute you might step back to the spanish originals that inspired it: Ay Carmeta - El Ejército del Ebro - for Republicans
• Matthew and the Atlas - I will remain.
• Misé Eire - inclusive propaganda for 1916/2016

And, Irish-Americans, don't be drinking any of that green beer - it's neither authentic, nor healthy.
