My Crucial Track for 13 May 2026 - “Cumann na Mná” by Christy Moore

Going slightly off-prompt - this is a song that made me re-evaluate another song.

The song I listened to again is Celtic Symphony by the Wolfe Tones. Celtic Symphony has a chorus / chant of ‘Ooh, aah, up the RA’. RA is ‘Republican Army’.

I’ve got a complicated, or probably more accurately, confused view of ‘the struggle’. There are lots of reasons for that which I won’t go into here,

Anyway, this is Christy Moore singing Mick Blake’s song about Celtic Symphony. It’s a great song in its own right, I think
