TEN FAITHFUL YEARS (1913–1923) in Song and Story

Compiled by Raymond Daly

An evening of Song and Story presented by Raymond Daly from his historical songbook Ten Faithful Years  (1913-1923) 

During this light hearted event Raymond will relay  how he was inspired to compile the  book from events which took place  in 2016, the many stories of research, the local people who came on board ta share their stories, his relatives involvement in the Great War and other relatives who fought for Irish freedom to end British rule in Ireland. 

Songs and Ballads from the book will be performed  on the night by Michael Middleton. 

Step into one of the most defining decades in Irish history through story and song. TEN FAITHFUL YEARS (1913–1923) in Song and Story chronicles the key events of the era—from the Great War (1914–1918) to the Fight for Irish Freedom—honouring the courage, bravery, and sacrifice that helped shape modern Ireland

This historical songbook features 105 songs and ballads from before, during, and after the Revolutionary period. Each song is accompanied by a concise introduction, offering insight into the author, origins, and historical background—providing valuable context for readers, performers, and historians alike

Sample titles include The Foggy Dew, Grace, The Rising of the Moon, The Wearin’ of the Green, The Ballad of Michael Collins, and Four Green Fields.

As its title TEN FAITHFUL YEARS suggests, the book was inspired by events in Offaly, the Faithful County, but Tullamore author Raymond Daly extends further into the Midlands and far beyond in this incomparable compendium of a pivotal period.
