Review: New-York Times, 17 January 1864, 8.
About 250 men of the Irish Brigade met at City Hall at noon. “They were also joined by Dodworth’s Band, after which, about 12 ¼ o’clock, they marched up Broadway to Fourteenth-street, and thence to Irving Hall. . . .
During the entertainment an Irish song was given by Barney Williams to the tune of the ‘Bold Soldier Boy.’”
