ok, just do not forget, the many brave Irishmen from south of the border, (me being one, when it was still the Royal Irish Rangers) who gave their commitment, and in some cases their lives to make the Island of Ireland a better place. Just to say when I was in Ballymena, we were ALL comrades, no matter green, orange, or religious direction. Faugh a Ballagh.

Ireland should unite.

Also as an `old´ Ranger, don,t forget us from the South, who took our own risks, in the BEST Regiment, to try and stop the terrorist shite, Faugh a Ballagh, to all the `Free State Mercenaries´ as we were so called, we know why we did it.

For money ,Irish army rejects is all you are , Jesus what job you did lol colluded with ,armed loyalist murder gangs !!! Bet you're proud of your " shilling " lower than a snakes cajones.

The clapping doe not spoil it, it simply shows what this march does to those that love it and the RIR. Heck, I'm clapping just watching it!

What a band?....What a tune?...WHAT A REGIMENT!!!? LONG LIVE THE FAMOUS ROYAL IRISH!!!!!!!!!

I was delighted to hear this march played as the retreat after the RBL wreath laying ceremony on July 11th at the War Memorial Gardens, Islandbridge, Dublin. The best bit of it was that it was the band of No 1 (Southern) Command of the Irish Army (yes - ROI) which played it. We are progressing slowly but surely to a recognition of our joint and common cultures. And the contribution of Irish men and women to the British Army. YAAHH!

I was only a stab but reminds me of my passing out parade at St. Patricks, my Ma crying and the culture shock of university on Monday. I was 19. Happy times. Respect to our lads serving now and those who served in the past. LEST WE FORGET.

I was present in Lisburn when they unfurled the memorial to the Lisburn fallen (UDR)....I watched the band as they proudy marched down Castle St, and back along railway St to the Royal British Legion. ...and i must say, my heart could have burst with pride. God bless all who served in that brilliant regiment, and (especially) from my home town of Lisburn.

This wonderful music reminds me of marching (quick time!) on the parade ground in Gibralter 1967 with the Royal Ulster Rifles. T e 'Med' was in front and the 'Rock' behind us .....what memories. Certainly better than the square at Ballymena!

Never fails to bring a tear to my eye and the hairs on my neck stand to attention

i'm a canadian army cadet and we marched on to this song on battalion parades, best.march.ever!

this is the best band THE ROYAL IRISH REGIMENT and my favorite tune

Simply the best !! still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up whenever I hear this..... and memories of fallen comrades. We will remember.

God Bless all here. This is the sound of Irishmen going into battle. Just after WW2 there was a RUR music maestro who combined the pipes and a silver band. The Skins and the Faughs followed suit. In any event, it is still the sound.

Best Marching Tune ever to grace the annals of British Miltary History. ~Faugh-A-Ballagh ~

Amazing tune about a little town in county Clare on the river Shannon and an Itish King played and cheered on in an Ulster hall those were the days..

Such a proud regiment Regards from and ex light infantry man bless you all

This song still gives me the tingles!! Just served 6 months in Afghan last year. Faugh A Ballagh

UDR,RIR kilaloe..the best regemintal song ever, the yo is truleyy outstanding

Inspirational tune and a great Regiment whom I had the honour to serve in a support capacity.

Hard to beat the Irish Guards. Irish and proud. ☘️👍

Love this. Everytime I hear killaloe I think of my big bro RIP Reggie.

great! wish i'd never left. ranger f. best time of my life, best mates i ever had

What a regimental band, what a regimental march.

A wonderful regimental march thank you for bringing back some great memories of my service in the Royal Canadian Regiment. VRI

"Killaloe" was the march-off tune for the Royal North Irish Brigade, and then the Royal Irish Rangers, and now the Royal Irish Regiment. Its always been a popular, signature tune for the Irish units and holds a similer place almost as "Black Bear" for the Scots. Both tunes have a rousing cheer as part of their choruses. It is hoped that a Royal Irish TA band will be able to carry on these musical traditions with the remaining pipes & drums of the regiment

Awesome piece of music, played kickass!!!!!

Still as good as it was when i was in the band 30 years ago 1975 -1981 well done

FANTASTIC!!!!!

I would like to say I get goose bumps when I hear this played I have not the privilege of being from Ireland but from Yorkshire and im proud that I can feel part of the listening public who honour the regiment and those who have served in this regiment and its passed regiments one regiment from those who serve the people of Ireland the Royal Irish Regiment

What a great march and a great performance, full of spirit and pride. The best band in the army now is the Irish Guards and I hope that they play this march often. It would be nice at the next troop of the IG Colours.

Fantastic!!!!

Brilliant ,the best .

Played with these guys when I served in The Irish Army Band at the unveiling of a replica of an Irish ‘Round Tower’, in Messines, Belgium on 11 November 1998 by the President of Ireland Mary McAleese in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and King Albert II of Belgium. Killaloe could be heard for miles around. Treble forte all the way. Good memories of a fine bunch of musicians.

Hello my friends, from across the pond. Just started the practice chanter two weeks ago and progessing fairly well considering I don't have much Irish blood (BUT some) in me. ha Having a lot of fun. Damn shame defense cut backs caused the demise of this great band. Cheers my friends.

Absolutely fantastic go on ya boyo's :0)

Very good, indeed!

Ah the old march eh.Brilliant.

i was at that last year an they playd it an the hairs on the back a my neck stood up fukin amazin faugh a ballagh

Faugh a Ballagh is a battle cry which (I think, if memory serves me correctly) means "Clear the Way" - it is also the motto of the Royal Irish Regiment (and therefore of this band...or so I'd assume)

good luck son, wear it with pride!

love that they done the yo!

@oOoJordieoOo Hi. There is a place near Londonderry but the name is spelled KILLALOO. I was born there in Bessvale House 65 years ago. Although spelled differently the tune KILLALOE stirs my Loyalist blood every time I hear it. Roll on the 2010 marching season when I shall be able to hear it played live in Londonderry . FAUGH-A-BALLAGH.

as an old boy i look on you young guys with bursting pride! FAUGH A BALLAGH! I will always be proud of what we did and where we began with are U.D.R. brothers

I'm a Welsh L/Cpl in the Army Cadets and we play this song in our Corps of Drums band, I have to say it is one of my favorite songs along with Sospan Fach especially with the "YO!" on the end.

Many years ago I was in Northern Ireland 1st Battalion ACF Corps of Drums. Your comment brought back a flood of memories with me! We used to play this song religiously of course. We used to play Men of Harlech too btw :^)

Reminds me of my days in the 2nd Bat, Lemgo

CLEAR THE WAY!

YeeeeoooowWWW!!!

the royal irish rangers and the UDR formed together in 1st july 1994 to create the royal irish regiment 1st batt and no 1 rir will never disband only the home service RIR. PPL still call the 1st RIR royla irish rangers so it doesn't matter wat u call them cos at the end of the day the unranked soldiers are called RANGERS hope this helps

The Band don't exist anymore. They were axed as part of the recent cuts. Some of the members went to the TA, as part time Royal Irish Regimental musicians.

Let's fukin goooo

Sorry to see Paul Dunne's foul-mouthed comments. He shows total ignorance regarding Northern Ireland and the Royal Irish Regiment.

Forgive my ignorance, is the first part of the above arrangement 0:00 to 01:25 part of Killaloe?

the best march in the british arm but im biased so what

why remove the previous comment? it was a compliment to the RIR and the UDR.

the royal irish are the only regiment in the british army that can talk on a parade and that is when they cry "yo"and F.A.B means clear the way

Ok cool interesting. What about Killaloe, what does that mean?

What does "FAUGH A BALLAGH" mean??????

I'm a military musician, and i have to say this is absolutely excellent. The only thing that spoils is (as usual) the mongs who have to clap along. I HATE that..i want to throw my drum at them.
