FREEDOM FOR IRELAND (Saorsacd na n-Eirinn). AKA and see "Banks of Inverness, "Nights of Gladness (5)." Irish, March (2/4 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The march "Freedom for Ireland" is an Irish derivative setting of the Scots tune family "Banks of Inverness," which includes a number of melodies, broadly related. Paul de Grae finds cognate tunes in O'Neill's collections as "Croppies' March (The)" and, set as a reel, "Cunningham's Fancy," "Molly what Ails You?," and "You're right my love"^[1]. He notes that O'Neill made a cylinder recording of piper Patsy Touhey, playing the tune (see "Croppie's March (The)."

See also related the Irish hornpipe "Boys of Bluehill (The)" and the American "Sally Ann Johnson."
