Marching Bands in UK

Article on BBC news about how marching bands are an expression of Norther Irish Unionist identity (and by extension Britishness, rather than Irishness).

This thread is not intended to be about NI per se. But question is. Is there anywhere else in the UK that do this? - dress up and march around with drums.

Not in the same way as the Orange order do in NI. It's a specific tradition up there.

"Glasgow"

It's nowhere near as popular as it once was, up here, in SW Scotland.

When I was a wee boy, there was a big march in every wee village.

That hasn't happened in 30 years. Now, all the die-hards - who are really dying out - get on one bus, to join their dwindling number of friends.

Some local traditions don't last.

Indeed. They could try listening to Year 21. It's very informative on a lot of the history.

Other excellent radio and tv programmes on NI are available.

The Orange order in NI and a few other places have used marching bands to provoke, I suppose some still do. But to tar all marching bands with the same brush is just ridiculous.

Even I banged a drum in my local ATC band when I was about 14. Being one of the few squadrons in the area that actually had its own band we were invited to lots of parades. I don't ever remember us provoking anyone.

The Army, Navy, and RAF have many bands are they all bigots?

Outside of the UK marching bands are a massive tradition in many countries. In Spain there must be hundreds if not thousands. The same for the carnival parades in Germany.

The high school and college parades in the US and of course not forgetting the St Patricks day parades in New York or Boston, among others.

Just because one group uses them for the wrong reasons doesn't mean we should stop all of them.

I don't know what the agenda is here but it comes across as just another drip in the Chinese water torture of cancelling western culture.

Long live marching bands.

Ah yes,I think we got a version on another thread here by some poster,

that brit soldiers were protecting protestants from annihilation by hordes of catholics,that's why the catholics must be kept down politically and by force.

Truth is British soldiers were first deployed to protect catholics from ethnic cleansing by rioting protestants, protestants who we rioting and murdering catholics for looking for their basic civil rights like 1 man 1 vote.

Highly unlikely. The British Army had to account for all their movements and use of ammunition . Terrorist organisations simply did what they like . I do not think that the IRA clocked in , recorded detailed records of their movements and use of any ammunition .

The so called murders to which you referred were instances where soldiers had to make instant decisions to save their own lives. There are plenty of lawyers who simply want to re write history after the event in order to profiteer themselves.

Any resident in Northern Ireland and who respected the law would know that the armed forces could not go round murdering people

You mention an array of marching bands.

Nobody wants to cancel marching bands.

. Maybe I was trying to take a slightly more objective analysis of the situation by taking into account a very small number of civilian casualties that some blame on the security services compared of thousands of innocent people killed and injured by the IRA . The IRA even murdered a mother of ten children whose only crime was to help or speak to a soldier .

Having a house in Belfast and having been though numerous evacuations I would hope that my understanding of the situation is as good as any . You do not appear to be bothered by the fact that a terrorist organisation maimed , injured and killed thousands of people in addition to destroying the NI economy .

. Or maybe Brendan Hughes ( whoever he is ) just made his statement up in order to justify a despicable murder .

I doubt many people ( if any ) would consider an instant execution to be justifiable in these circumstances. On a simplistic basis a mother of 10 was murdered for speaking to soldiers and you appear to be trying to claim that it was justifiable

They didn't give a fuck.

Highly unlikely. The British Army had to account for all their movements and use of ammunition . Terrorist organisations simply did what they like . I do not think that the IRA clocked in , recorded detailed records of their movements and use of any ammunition .

The so called murders to which you referred were instances where soldiers had to make instant decisions to save their own lives. There are plenty of lawyers who simply want to re write history after the event in order to profiteer themselves.

Any resident in Northern Ireland and who respected the law would know that the armed forces could not go round murdering people

The murder of innocent civilians by the British army is a fact of history and well documented and has been acknowledged by the British government and apologised for.

Like I said,the average brit knows nothing about what went on in Northern Ireland or cares,as your post shows. Maybe I was trying to take a slightly more objective analysis of the situation by taking into account a very small number of civilian casualties that some blame on the security services compared of thousands of innocent people killed and injured by the IRA . The IRA even murdered a mother of ten children whose only crime was to help or speak to a soldier .

Having a house in Belfast and having been though numerous evacuations I would hope that my understanding of the situation is as good as any . You do not appear to be bothered by the fact that a terrorist organisation maimed , injured and killed thousands of people in addition to destroying the NI economy .

More brit propaganda

Jean McConnell was a Protestant married to a Catholic living in a Catholic area,no problem was had with that.

But she was caught with a cb radio twice,reporting movements of volunteers in the area.

She was warned the first time she was caught

This is according to brendan Hughes who I believe

There are rules to guerrilla warfare. Or maybe Brendan Hughes ( whoever he is ) just made his statement up in order to justify a despicable murder .

I doubt many people ( if any ) would consider an instant execution to be justifiable in these circumstances. On a simplistic basis a mother of 10 was murdered for speaking to soldiers and you appear to be trying to claim that it was justifiable "

I told you the real circumstances of why she died so you can drop the speaking to soldiers narrative,and I told you the source.

Brendan Hughes and gerry Adams were part of the unit that determined her fate and had no reason to lie about her killing,which he didn't regret, when he gave a full account of other killings and bombings which he very much did regret.

He gave a full truthfull history of all his ira activity,warts and all,to Boston college that was published in a book with David irvines,a loyalist para,giving his history from the other side also to Boston college,only published after their deaths

. Not exactly a like for like comparison. In a very small number of cases the army may have mad mistakes because they had a split second in which to make a decision. Everyone can take the right course of action with the benefit of hindsight. These are hardly preplanned murders .

Murdering an innocent mother of ten with no justifiable reason is an entirely different concept. It was a brutal preplanned execution of an innocent person no matter how you wish to present it .

He gave a full truthfull history of all his ira activity,warts and all,to Boston college that was published in a book with David irvines,a loyalist para,giving his history from the other side also to Boston college,only published after their deaths

Worth a read. Only a very sick individual would attempt to justify the execution of a mother of ten children. Not many people are going to accept the accounts of terrorists convicted of murder. Delours Price admits to being haunted by her role in the execution .

Only a very sick individual would try justify the British army terrorists murder of innocent civilians like you did in your first post.

How many innocent mothers of children did they murder,innocent mothers unlike Mrs mcconville

. Not exactly a like for like comparison. In a very small number of cases the army may have mad mistakes because they had a split second in which to make a decision. Everyone can take the right course of action with the benefit of hindsight. These are hardly preplanned murders .

Murdering an innocent mother of ten with no justifiable reason is an entirely different concept. It was a brutal preplanned execution of an innocent person no matter how you wish to present it . "

"Again I say it is absolutely incredible how little the people of the UK know or care about the PUL community in Northern Ireland

Its barely ever reported on in the media here.

It's used to be when they marched through republican housing estates to provoke a reaction, and all the stuff that used to go down.

Even during the height of the troubles it was barely reported on in UK,British soldiers terrorising and murdering innocent civilians and nary a word on UK TV about it.

They didn't give a fuck.

Highly unlikely. The British Army had to account for all their movements and use of ammunition . Terrorist organisations simply did what they like . I do not think that the IRA clocked in , recorded detailed records of their movements and use of any ammunition .

The so called murders to which you referred were instances where soldiers had to make instant decisions to save their own lives. There are plenty of lawyers who simply want to re write history after the event in order to profiteer themselves.

Any resident in Northern Ireland and who respected the law would know that the armed forces could not go round murdering people

The murder of innocent civilians by the British army is a fact of history and well documented and has been acknowledged by the British government and apologised for.

Like I said,the average brit knows nothing about what went on in Northern Ireland or cares,as your post shows. Maybe I was trying to take a slightly more objective analysis of the situation by taking into account a very small number of civilian casualties that some blame on the security services compared of thousands of innocent people killed and injured by the IRA . The IRA even murdered a mother of ten children whose only crime was to help or speak to a soldier .

Having a house in Belfast and having been though numerous evacuations I would hope that my understanding of the situation is as good as any . You do not appear to be bothered by the fact that a terrorist organisation maimed , injured and killed thousands of people in addition to destroying the NI economy .

More brit propaganda

Jean McConnell was a Protestant married to a Catholic living in a Catholic area,no problem was had with that.

But she was caught with a cb radio twice,reporting movements of volunteers in the area.

She was warned the first time she was caught

This is according to brendan Hughes who I believe

There are rules to guerrilla warfare. Or maybe Brendan Hughes ( whoever he is ) just made his statement up in order to justify a despicable murder .

I doubt many people ( if any ) would consider an instant execution to be justifiable in these circumstances. On a simplistic basis a mother of 10 was murdered for speaking to soldiers and you appear to be trying to claim that it was justifiable

I told you the real circumstances of why she died so you can drop the speaking to soldiers narrative,and I told you the source.

Brendan Hughes and gerry Adams were part of the unit that determined her fate and had no reason to lie about her killing,which he didn't regret, when he gave a full account of other killings and bombings which he very much did regret.

We are talking about a state murdering innocent civilians who were looking for their basic democratic rights,so great analogy pal.

Well done

OK I get most of you dont care or want to talk about Northern Ireland,that much is obvious here,but you can't have a thread about orange order marching bands and not talk about sectarianism seeing as orange order marching bands are sectarian in nature.

Sorry, had no idea that it was only people who liked the colour orange that could bang a drum and play a tin whistle. Thread had more in mind marching with drums as some traditional thing like

Morris dancing, playing jigs and reels. Assumed those doing it outside NI might have different reasons.

I was genuinely unaware it happened anywhere else as had never seen it.

But anyway, forum threads take on their own life and i’m not a Mod so it is what it is. But the intent had nothing to do with sectarianism, oranges or Irish.

That marching band in Glasgow is really shot though. Riverdance have much better beats.

Again I will add you can't have a thread on sectarian Northern Irish unionist marching bands and complain when people bring up sectarian violence in Northern Ireland

And by saying "no mentioning of Northern ireland" doesn't cut it
