about

Another original song here from Martin McMahon and myself.
James (Jimmy)Daly was in the Connaught Rangers serving with the British army in India in 1920 when he heard of what the RIC and Black And Tans were up to back in Ireland. He led a mutiny in the Punjab when he got the news and was subsequently executed for doing so. He was the last soldier executed by the British army for mutiny. Today the 2nd of November is the anniversary of his execution.. One of his colleagues and fellow mutineer Joseph Hawes from County Clare is also mentioned in the song. James was buried in India but fifty years later in 1970 his body was repatriated back to Ireland and buried with full military honours.
May they both rest in peace.
Musicians are James Barry on guitar, Quentin Cooper on mandola, Adam Shapiro on fiddle, Sean Talty on the uileann pipes and myself on guitar/vocals.

The revolt originated on 27–28 June 1920 at Wellington Barracks, Jullundur (now Jalandhar), Punjab near the border with modern-day Pakistan, where Daly's brother, William Daly, was involved. It was then spread 200 miles away to other Connaught Rangers companies, at Jutogh (where it failed) and at Solan, where, led by a World War I veteran, Joseph Hawes from Kilrush, County Clare, James Daly and roughly 150 others "ground arms" and refused to return to duty in protest of the activities of the Royal Irish Constabulary and the B
