Éirinn go Brách - Part Two, Outlaws and Everyone Else

Don't miss the important cameo appearance in the clip at the bottom of this post. Part One, with songs of rebels and martyrs, is here.

The Wolfe Tones did not take their name from a lupine melody, but from Theobald Wolfe Tone, a leader of the 1798 rebellion who was hanged by the British. 

An old tune repurposed, as are so many Irish melodies:

The introduction is pretty interesting, but you can skip to the cameo, which is explained beginning at 1:01
