Derryman Seán Kelly, of the New Zealand based Irish folk band, the Celtic Flyers, has written a song called "the Black Shamrock". It captures the spirit which inspired the Black Shamrock campaign perfectly, conveying all too well in the lyrics and performance the horror we all feel at the realisation of ireland's complicity in the madness of these wars. You can judge for yourself by viewing the video and song on youtube here:
