"'''Give Me My Freedom'''" is the debut single by [[Shillelagh Sisters]], released in April 1984 by CBS. The group had some press coverage and also did some television shows (most notably ''[[The Tube (1982 TV series)|The Tube]]'') and a [[John Peel]] session at [[BBC Radio 1|Radio One]]. The Shillelagh Sisters also went on tour as the supporting act for the rock band [[Spear of Destiny (band)|Spear of Destiny]]. However, all this promotion did not lead to pop success and their single charted poorly at No. 100 on the [[UK Singles Chart]] in May 1984.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/21643/shillelagh-sisters/|title=SHILLELAGH SISTERS &#124; full Official Chart History &#124; Official Charts Company|website=Officialcharts.com}}</ref>
Tensions arose when recording the first single, "Give Me My Freedom". CBS felt the final result wasn't commercial enough and so it was re-done with a different producer, losing, Halpin later commented[citation needed], the band’s original sound in the process. In addition, CBS refused to allow Boz Boorer to be a full band member, not letting him appear on the single cover or in interviews or video clips.
