Let the People Sing is the fifth album by Irish folk and rebel band The Wolfe Tones. The album features a number of political songs including Come Out Ye Black and Tans and A Nation Once Again. James Connolly is about the execution by firing squad of the socialist revolutionary after the Easter Rising of 1916, whilst Long Kesh is a song which protests IRA imprisonment at Long Kesh prison. Sean South of Garryowen is rather controversial as it honours the legacy of Irish Republican soldier Seán South who was a prominent fascist and anti-Semitic conspiracist.[1]
