Black 47 was an American Celtic rock band from New York City, formed in 1989 by Larry Kirwan and Chris Byrne, and derives its name from a traditional term for the summer of 1847, the worst year of the Great Famine in Ireland. Kirwan originally arrived in New York City from Wexford aged 19, and played in a succession of bands before teaming with Byrne, a Brooklyn policeman, in 1989. The combination of Kirwan's electric guitar and Byrne's use of traditional Irish instruments initially received a poor. Just in time for the fifth anniversary of the U. invasion of Iraq, with American fatalities approaching 4,000, along with uncounted Iraqi casualties, New York-based Irish-American rock band Black 47, led by singersongwriter Larry Kirwan, devote an entire album to the subject. It's not as unlikely a theme as one might suppose, since, as Kirwan reveals in a sleeve note, the album is written from the viewpoint of Black 47 fans who have served over there.

Yes the concept is black and white, a bit cliched, but the execution is brilliant. Cast, well, it has Hugo Weaving so we're off to a solid start and the cast does work well. The English Captain is a bit of a cliched plum, but hey, somebody has to be the bad guy and the English aristocracy were. Black 47 went on an unofficial recording hiatus, although they maintained their live performances, influenced as much by the events of 911 as the departure of Byrne. They released a collection of such songs in 2008 on an album simply titled Iraq, and the band were considered to be one of the few bands with a pedigree in political music to undertake such a task. Inspiration for the lyrics came from Kirwan's communication with fans serving on the front line, as a significant. Black 47 rarely plays to the converted and their shows have often seethed over the last five years. We also take pride in keeping in touch with our fans, many of whom traditionally join the Service as a way to fund their college education or mortgage. With a pedigree for controversy, Black 47 first raised its voice in protest to the political and economic systems in the North of Ireland in 1989. Add album to Cart.
