We’re now in the midst of the 95th anniversary of the Easter Rising of 1916 – one of the most important events in Irish history.
To mark the occasion, Irish Music Forever, has published a series of articles giving the background to the Rising, explaining what took place and analysing its impact.
The rising began on Easter Monday when about 1,600 Irishmen from different political groups seized control of some of the key buildings in Dublin.
