Slan Paddy B
The relevant passage is as follows:
The Open Mic had guitarist, Paddy Brady, first-timer, with The Irish Pub (“wherever you go in the world, you’ll find an Irish pub”). Everyone joined in.
Then a song about Grace Gifford, artist and lover of Joseph Mary Plunkett, poet and scholar, who, in 1916, as a leader of the Dublin rebellion, was caught and sentenced to be shot. Grace and he were married in jail and given 10 minutes together, just before his death. The love story between them became one of the most poignant to come out of the struggle for Irish freedom. The song was done with great feeling.
