#10 | A Song For Ireland: Amhrán na bhFiann

from Motherfoclóir · host HeadStuff Podcasts

National anthems – and the manner in which people observe them – are controversial (linguistically and politically) most of the time, but especially so in 2017\. Amhrán na bhFiann is the Irish National Anthem and the world’s best-known Irish language text, even though it was originally written in English. In this week’s episode, Darach chats with Peadar, Gearóidín and Ola about the history of this absolute banger and compare it to the anthems of other countries. --- Contact the show at https://twitter.com/motherfocloir or email us at [email protected].
