Dead B Specials early 1990s Celtic Punk band based in Brixton London. 
A seven person band set up and run by Rockin Pete John Chambers RIP. 

This piece of music is a lively instrumental which builds from the start into a rocking beautiful inspiring piece of Irish music played in a punk rock style by some very talented musicians. (I wish I could remember their names).
