Religious Persuasion

And Give Peace a Chance was a real touchstone song for me in my life, really.

And then later when we started to record, when we recorded Religious Persuasion, that was the song we were thinking about.

Punk music in Belfast united people.

I could see it.

So the Soldier's Sash brought together two songs from both, I'm using inverted commas here with my fingers, both traditions in Northern Ireland or in Ireland, take your pick.

the sash is a really divisive protestant marching song about supposedly the sash which is like a thing like how do you describe what a sash is it's like a orange thing you wear around your neck if you're in the orange lodge an organization which really loves william of orange who was the king of england though he was actually dutch who in 1690 Beat, also in inverted commas, the Catholic forces of James II in a battle called the Battle of the Boyne in the south of Ireland, what's now in the Republic of Ireland, near Drogheda.

It's a really beautiful place, but hey, it is mentioned in Religious Persuasion as well.

Anyhow, so the sash is a marching song.
