I just stumbled across an interesting site with free downloads of socialist songs (MP3 files) and thought I'd share.The site is called "Songs of Irish Labour" maintained by Helena Sheehan, a comrade who is a university professor at Dublin City University. Helena covers a wide range of socialist songs and tells her personal story of struggle as a socialist living through the past couple of decades.
Dr. Sheehan also maintains a page specifically about the song "The Red Flag" which can be found here. The Red Flag was written by labor activist Jim Connell 1889 and is a lovely and inspiring song.
What else? She has a bunch of links to other labor song sites, including the following:
- The Internationale: sound clip
- Sheffield Socialist Choir (3 sound clips)
- Union Songs
- Union Sites

- Billy Bragg
- Tommy Sands
