Irish Identity Mainpage hoganstand.com A gentlemen's club with an Irish twist The English gentlemen's clubs grew out of some of the 18th century gambling clubs of London. Many of them are still to be found around Pall Mall and St. James's Street near St. James's Palace, home of the Prince of Wales. They have become bastions of the English establishment which were firmly barred to women until Women's Rights campaigners started to kick in the doors of these ageing fortresses of male supremacy. They are not places within my usual social orbit although I admit to having enjoyed a few evenings in the splendour of Brooke's in St. James's Street as guest of Dom Hugo O'Neill of Portugal, a descendant of the famous O'Neill of Tyrone who had to flee Ireland in 1608. But one would not necessarily associate such places with the Irish in the 19th century. Yet the Irish have permeated all walks of English society.

PARKS MUSIC COMPANY INTRODUCTION last revised April 10, 2005 This portion of the J.A. Parks web site contains links to information about composers, arrangers and lyricists / librettists of the music arranged and published by J.A. Parks. The stimulus to develop this portion was an e-mail reference request from a Scottish researcher received three weeks after the J.A. Parks page was first posted on the web. Many of the composers and librettists in Parks' publications are "forgotten." Some are remembered today only for one or two lyrics or a single melody. Still others are of significant historical interest to be mentioned in standard reference works such as Grove s. A few are "household names." The links on this page open little "snapshots" which taken together form a mosaic of late 19th and early 20th Century musical tastes and personalities. We have added two or more links for a few personalities in cases where each of the sites has information not provided by the other(s). We have also included "capsule biographies" for a few people who were York residents or were otherwise personally connected to York or J.A. Parks. We started the initial composition of this page in late September, 2003. We have relied primarily on searches in the major web search engines

Oscar O'Flahertie Fingal Wills Wilde, born in Dublin, Ireland , was the second son of Sir William and Lady Jane Wilde. Sir William was a renowned surgeon who found himself embroiled in a sensational scandal in 1864 when Mary Travers, a former patient, informed a local newspaper that she had been chloroformed and raped. Lady Jane was a poet who stood six feet tall and claimed to be "above respectability." She loved to make a sensation and passed this passion on to her youngest son. After Trinity College, Dublin, Wilde attended Magdalen College, Oxford, where as a disciple of Walter Pater he founded the Aesthetic Movement, which advocated "art for art's sake." His aesthetic idiosyncrasies such as his wearing his hair long, dressing colourfully, and carrying flowers while lecturing Gilbert and Sullivan parodied in the operetta Patience (1881).

Denis Dooley contributed the first answer. The last improvement was made by Veritas Home Help Search ... Trust points for Veritas recommend FAQ farmer edit answer Answer According to the web site: www.franks.org/fr01068.htm, the song by the title "The Wearing of The Green" was written by a Dubliner, Dion Boucicault (1820-1890). After America's revolution, the Irish thought it was time for their own independence. The color greem became a symbol of sympathy for Irish independence and the British actually began executing persons found wearing anything green. See the lyrics to the son on that web site, too. I haven't been able to verify this statement as fact and I can't find a more exact time-line for the writing of the song. edit answer Answer The song Wearing of the Green was made because Irish people would burn the color red because they hated England so British soldiers would shoot peolple wearing the color green. edit answer Answer "The wearing of the green" refers to the Irish green plaid on kilts and other items of clothing. The English considered this a sign of active nationalism or separatism and, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, methods of stopping that were simple. The attitude was, "If you are wearing the green, you are siding with the troublemakers, disturbing the equilibrium of our landowners and governors, ie., you are a terrorist and shall be dealt with".
