Now for something completely different (as they say). The Chieftains are the premier interpreters (IMHO) of traditional Irish music. Here they are playing two songs which were used as marches for the religious factions fighting over control of England and Ireland in the 1600's. "Lillibullero" is the march favored by the Protestants (supporters of King William), while "The White Cockade" is the song favored by the Jacobites (supporters of Catholic King James). You aren't required to march while playing this, though. Enjoy the weekend.
