    I believe the bands have a right to play but not too march.
    Playing in a hall with likeminded people is alright.
    But to play in a band whilst marching on the streets were so much blood has been spilt should not be allowed to happen in this day and age.

    All flute band marches should be banned because all it does is keep up division.
    It's time Ireland moved on and hopefully into a future as a United Ireland without these reminders of the murderous past.

    People, wrongly, see it as two sides of the one coin. It's not. Not in the slightest, however if this perception gave up an option of both or none being banned from matching the streets then I'd gladly see both gone.

    You sound it though.

    I respect individuals personal views that they may not want/like to see flute bands marching on the street but wether or not you like it, we have a democratic right to march.

    Well I'm sorry if it comes across that way.

    Yes you do have a democratic right to march. As do the Orange Order. I just think it's divisive and unnecessary. :50:

    I love them. I think they are top class. They are * all like the orange bands as well, for starters Republicans don't demand to walk through hun areas and stir * up. They stick to their own areas. Orangemen come out mainly to wind us up by coming through Republican areas

    I would have no problem with either side tbh, as long as they stick to their own areas. I love the noise of it all

    I have been going to them since i was a babby, few people give two * about bands or parades or commemorations anymore, i only go to one a year now, and thats because its a family one.
