••• About the Starry Plough •••
The Starry Plough banner was flown by the Irish Citizen Army during the 1916 Easter Rising. The significance of the banner, according to socialist James Connolly, was that a free Ireland would control its own destiny from the plough in the dirt to the stars in the skies. This revolutionary tradition lives on at the Starry Plough Pub in Berkeley, which continues to display the words of James Connolly: "No Revolutionary movement is complete without its poetic expression. If such a movement has caught hold of the imagination of the masses, they will seek a vent in song for the aspirations, fears, and hopes the loves and hatreds engendered by the struggle. Until the movement is marked by the joyous, defiant singing of revolutionary songs, it lacks one of the most distinctive marks of a popular revolutionary movement; it is the dogma of the few and not the faith of the multitude" (1907)
