Does anyone have any info at all about the celtic/irish/scottish folk song played in the movie when they are first boarding the choppers, and shouting GARRYOWEN!?

It is from a song by Joe McKenzie of the Scottish band Clannandrumma. Website: http://www.clannandrumma.com/ The full story of the song is on the site.
I met Joe a couple of weeks ago, and he told me the story of the song and the film. I've just caught the film on TV here in UK - it sounds like Joe singing.
