Sixteen Soldiers

A tribute to the sixteen Irish freedom fighters executed in the aftermath of the 1916 Easter Rising. Sixteen Soldiers reflects on a defining moment in Irish history — honouring those who stood for independence and paid the ultimate price. It looks beyond the events themselves to the human cost, the courage shown, and the legacy left behind. This song is a quiet remembrance of sacrifice, identity, and the enduring spirit of a nation shaped by those who came before. 🌿 Part of the Song Garden Collection — a growing catalogue of original songs exploring life’s moments and emotional landscapes. 🎧 Listen continuously on Song Garden Radio 🌍 Music with purpose — supporting disadvantaged children in Kenya ▶️ Subscribe to follow the journey — new songs released every week. #originalmusic #IrishHistory #1916Rising #folkmusic #independentartist Song written by Eamonn Maguire.
