    Ardoyne Fleadh: Outrage after 'Irish rebel band' accused of making 'hate speech and glorifying IRA' at event

    There have been calls to pull public funding from a north Belfast festival after a band were accused of making a 'hate speech' and 'glorifying terrorism'.

    Thousands attended the annual Ardoyne Fleadh festival on Sunday night.

    In a speech during the show, a member of an Irish 'rebel band' told the audience there are "still over 5,000 British soldiers parading around the streets of Ireland as if they owned it" and "it's about time they got their Orange comrades together...and ****ed off back to England".

    The band then perform two tracks - including the 'The Celtic Symphony' - which features 'pro-IRA' chanting.

    A video of the group performing has been widely circulated online.

    DUP councillor Lee Reynolds said he had "submitted a formal complaint to the PSNI about the anti-British and anti-Protestant hate speech and the glorification of terrorism at this event".

    "This turn of events came as no surprise to the DUP and was one of the reasons why we have opposed the licensing of this event," he said

    He said the "type of behaviour" shown should be "considered justifiable grounds for the withdrawal of all public funding".

    Police have said they received a complaint and enquiries were ongoing.

    A spokesman for the Ardoyne Fleadh has not yet responded.

    The Druids.

    I prefer the Eire Og version, that one's a bit too scherzando.... That's probably not even the right term... But I know what I mean.

    Looks like great fun was had by all.

    To be fair, they shouldn't have made that hate speech, whilst glorifying the noble volunteers of the IRA. Tiocfaidh ar la.

    I'm disgusted by this. In this day and age too. One can only assume that the protagonists are Celtic-mad?

    Thanks for sharing this, Medro. Certainly opened this Bear's eyes.

    It's funny how the same people that complain about bands walking past Ardoyne claiming they are sectarian have absolutely no problem with garbage like this.

    Then seen people commenting online that they should be able to sing what they want in their own area. Racism and sectarianism on the street = bad, in your own backyard = good.

    I sincerely hope that all members of that ****ey band get brought in for questioning, charged and sent to jail.
