S1 EP45 – The Ballad of Kevin Barry

In the last episode we look at the Irish approach to the war in quite broad strokes. Today we dive into the specifics, detailing a raid on a group of RIC men guarding a bread lorry and then looking at the propaganda battle that followed. A propaganda battle focused on one 18 year old medical student — Kevin Barry.If you're interested in the version of the Ballad of Kevin Barry that was performed at the end of the episode you can check out more of Ciaran Boyle's music here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/49k7nWdOivgaMRjygriPZ8?si=rsNb9fI4Qdihh6c5sSxP4g or follow him on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ciaranboylemuso Hosted on Acast.
