He Chose Ireland Over His Life | James Daly Shot at Dawn | The Brass Banshees

James Daly was only 22 years old when he faced a firing squad. A soldier of the Connaught Rangers, Daly joined the 1920 mutiny after hearing of British actions in Ireland during the War of Independence. Refusing to abandon his beliefs, he paid the ultimate price. Shot at Dawn tells the story of the last Irishman executed by the British Army for mutiny. This is hard-edged Irish ska punk from The Brass Banshees — a tribute to courage, conviction, and a man who chose Ireland over his own life. #JamesDaly #ShotAtDawn #ConnaughtRangers #IrishHistory #TheBrassBanshees #IrishMusic #CelticPunk #IrishRebellion #WarOfIndependence
