==Label name== A [[linnet]] is a red-breasted song bird known for its trills and twitters. However, in the Irish rebel song tradition, the name "Green Linnet" has a specific meaning. It was the code name for [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] who they hoped would break the chains of British rule. Indeed, in the early 19th century the [[Society of United Irishmen]] (the Irish independence organization led by [[Theobald Wolfe Tone]] and [[Robert Emmet]]), allied themselves with France against Britain, but as history would prove, to no effect. The songs, however, were passed down to latter generations.
