The Balcombe Street siege was an incident involving members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and the Metropolitan Police Service of London lasting from 6 to 12 December 1975. The siege ended with the surrender of the four IRA paramilitaries and the release of their two hostages. The events were televised and watched by millions.
Background
In 1974 and 1975 London was subjected to a 14-month campaign of gun and bomb attacks by the Provisional IRA. Some 40 bombs exploded in London, killing 35 people and injuring many more. In one incident the Guinness Book of Records co-founder and conservative political activist Ross McWhirter was assassinated; he had offered a £50,000 reward to anyone willing to inform the security forces of IRA activity.
The four members of what became known as the "Balcombe Street gang" – Martin O'Connell, Edward Butler, Harry Duggan and Hugh Doherty – were part of a six-man IRA Active Service Unit (ASU) that also included Brendan Dowd and Liam Quinn. Quinn had recently shot dead police constableStephen Tibble in London after fleeing from police officers. The flat he was seen fleeing from was discovered to be a bomb factory used by the unit.
Eddie Butler (born October 2, 1971) is an Israeli singer. He was born in Dimona and is one of 11 brothers and sisters. His parents came to Israel from Chicago after long wanderings. They belong to the Black Hebrew Israelite community.
Eddie started performing at the age of eight. In the 1990s he sang with wedding bands, and in 1992 worked as a backing singer for Zehava Ben at the Kdam-Eurovision.
In 1999 Butler represented Israel at the Eurovision Song Contest in Jerusalem as part of the Eden group which consisted of Eddie, Eddie's older brother Gabriel Butler, Rafael Dahan and Doron Oren. Their song "Happy Birthday" finished 5th with 93 points.
Eden broke up in 2001, and after the group's breakup, Butler launched a solo career. He has performed throughout Europe, Russia and the United States. In 2002 he got the Special Audience Prize of the international music competition New Wave in Jūrmala, Latvia.
Eddie proposed to his wife Orly Burg at the Dudu Topaz show on Channel 2. He performed for her his new song "את החלום/At ha-halom"(You Are the Dream) written for her during his long performance tours. He is now officially converting to Judaism in order to be able to have an Orthodox wedding with Orly.
He played as a number eight and was at Cambridge for Blues in 1976, 1977 and 1978, and captained Wales on six occasions. He also captained the powerful Pontypool RFC side between 1982 and 1985, in succession to Jeff Squire. He also was chosen for the Barbarians and the British Lions and he took part in a defeat of the English team in 1984.
Journalist and broadcaster
Though retired from playing the game, Butler has written a weekly column in the Rugby Union section of The Observer Sport since 1991 and also writes for The Guardian, as well as being a BBCsports commentator with Brian Moore, the former England hooker. He received some attention when it became public knowledge that Austin Healey's newspaper column had been written by Butler whilst Healey was on tour with the British and Irish Lions Rugby squad in Australia in 2001. He has presented two popular history series: Wales and the History of the World (BBC1 Wales) and Hidden Histories (BBC2).
