The Wearing of the Green

The Wearing of the Green is a 19th-century Irish traditional song associated with the 1798 Irish Rebellion and the suppression of Irish nationalist symbols under British rule. The song circulated widely through oral tradition and later became part of the broader Irish folk and rebel song repertoire. Over time it has been recorded by performers such as The Clancy Brothers, Tommy Makem, John McCormack, and The Dubliners, each carrying the song into different generations of Irish music. This performance is presented with voice and acoustic guitar. Song: The Wearing of the Green Origin: Irish traditional, 19th century Performance: Jason Paul – voice & guitar
