Boudewijn Hendricksz was a Dutch corsair and Admiral. He is most famous for his role in the Battle of San Juan during the Eighty Years' War, in which he tried but failed to capture San Juan from Spanish forces. In the same year, prior the assault on San Juan he attempted to recapture Bahia, Brazil after the Spanish overcame Dutch forces in the city, he was at one point one of the burgemeesters of Edam. In 1625 the Dutch West India Company ordered Hendrijks to rescue Bahia, held by the Dutch hands but had been attacked by the Spaniards, he was given 34 ships with good artillery and 6,500 men, but by the time he arrived in Brazil the Spanish had expelled the Dutch from the town. Several days after the Dutch surrender, a relief fleet of 33 ships under Admiral Boudewijn Hendricksz, seconded by Vice Admiral Andries Veron, bearded down upon the bay divided in two columns. Toledo, warned about its arrival, disposed 6 galleons to lure them to a murderous crossfire. However, seeing the large Spanish-Portuguese fleet anchored inside, Hendricksz decided to withdraw to open sea.

Spanish warships attempted to pursue him but a galleon ran aground and the chase was abandoned. Hendricksz divided his fleet in three groups. One of them returned to Holland with the supplies and ammunition for the garrison of Salvador; the Dutch fleet sailed to Paraíba where it was split into two. Half of the ships, commanded by Veront, sailed to Africa; the other 17 ships were commanded by Hendrijks himself, went to Puerto Rico with the intention of capturing it. On 24 September 1625, Hendrijks arrived at the coast of San Juan with 17 ships and 2,000 men and sent a message to the governor of Puerto Rico, Juan de Haro, ordering him to surrender the island. De Haros refused, he therefore had that area fortified. However, the Dutch landed in La Puntilla. De Haro realized that an invasion was inevitable and ordered Captain Juan de Amézqueta, plus 300 men stationed at "San Felipe del Morro Castle" and the city of San Juan evacuated, he had former governor Juan de Vargas organize an armed resistance in the interior of the island.

On September 25 Hendrijks attacked San Juan, besieging La Fortaleza. He set up his headquarters in La Fortaleza; the Dutch were counterattacked by Captain Juan de Amézqueta and 50 members of the civilian militia on land and by the cannons of the Spanish troops in El Morro Castle. The land battle left 60 Dutch soldiers dead and Hendrijks with a sword wound to his neck which he received from the hands of Amézqueta, considered as one of the best swordsman of the island; the Dutch ships at sea were boarded by the Puerto Ricans. After a long battle, the Spanish soldiers and volunteers of the city's militia were able to defend the city from the attack and save the island from an invasion. On October 21, Enrico set the city ablaze. Captains Amézqueta and Andrés Botello decided to put a stop to the destruction and led 200 men in an attack against the enemy's front and rear guard, they drove Hendrijks and his men from their trenches and into the ocean in their haste to reach their ships. Hendrijks, upon his retreat, would leave behind him one of his largest ships stranded and over 400 of his men dead.

He tried to invade the island by attacking the town of Aguada. He was again abandoned the idea of invading Puerto Rico; the privateer went on to Santo Domingo, where he engaged another fort, sailed on to Margarita. On 22 February he arrived at Pampatar, which he took and disembarked in a village now called Porlamar, but these limited successes did not recompense the outlay made in the equipping of his fleet. He decided to head to Havana, whose defenses he studied for some time, until he decided that it was folly to try to take it, he travelled on to Matanzas and landed in Cabañas, where he provisioned. There he fell ill and died on 2 July 1626, his fleet returned to Holland, only 700 of the 1,500 men who had attacked Puerto Rico returned alive

"McNamara's Band" is a popular song composed in 1889 by Shamus O'Connor and John J. Stamford; the song was performed as a music hall routine by William J. "Billy" Ashcroft. It has been recorded by a number of artists, most notably Bing Crosby; the song is associated with Ireland and performed on St. Patrick's Day in the United States; the composer of the song Stamford was the manager of the Alhambra Theatre in Belfast and the song was written expressly for the theatre's owner, the Irish-American music hall veteran Billy Ashcroft. Ashcroft referred to as "The Solid Man" for his association with the Edward Harrigan song "Muldoon, the Solid Man," had earlier in his career in the U. S. performed a blackface routine called "The Lively Moke," which interspersed comic song and dance with brief performances on multiple instruments. "McNamara's Band" gave him scope for a similar Irish "character song."Irish music hall historians Watters and Murtagh described Ashcroft's performance of the routine: "Here'McNamara' breaks into a dancing quick-step March up and down the Stage, his nimble fingers snatching up one instrument after another, blowing the bassoon, tootling the flute, beating the drum with the knob of his baton - A One-Man Band."

Modern listeners associate the song with the version recorded on December 6, 1945 by Bing Crosby, with a set of lyrics credited to "The Three Jesters." Released on Decca Records in early 1946, the song became a Top Ten hit for Crosby. It remains one of his most popular songs and is performed on St. Patrick's Day in the United States. A earlier recording of this song appeared in the 1945 film The Way to the Stars. Stanley Holloway leads the crowd in a pub close to a Royal Air Force base during World War II, it has been claimed that the song was inspired by an actual band, the St Mary's Fife and Drum Band, formed in Limerick in 1885. In the late 19th century the band featured four brothers, John and Thomas McNamara, became famous for playing shows all across Ireland. In the early 20th century Patrick and Thomas emigrated to the United States and formed the "McNamara's Band" with Patrick "Patsy" Salmon, another Limerick emigre. After Salmon left the group Patrick and Thomas formed "McNamara's Trio" with Thomas on piccolo, Patrick on violin and Patrick's daughter, Eileen, on the piano.

The trio released several songs for Vocalion Records. John McNamara served with the Royal Munster Fusiliers during the Second Boer War and First World War, he was killed in action on 9 May 1915, his body was never recovered after the war. The most used set of lyrics is the adaptation by Crosby's "Three Jesters". My name is McNamara, I'm the Leader of the Band, And tho' we're small in number we're the best in all the land. Oh! I am the Conductor, we have to play With all the best musicianers you hear about to-day; when the drums go bang, the cymbals clang, the horns will blaze away, MacCarthy puffs the ould bassoon while Doyle the pipes will play. Hennessy Tennessy tootles the flute, my word'tis something grand, Oh! A credit to Ould Ireland, boys, is McNamara's Band! Whenever an election's on, we play on either side- The way we play our fine ould airs fills Irish hearts with pride. Oh! if poor Tom Moore was living now, he'd make yez understand That none could do him justice like ould McNamara's Band.

We play at wakes and weddings, at every county ball, And at any great man's funeral we play the "Dead March in Saul," When the Prince of Wales to Ireland came, he shook me by the hand, And said he'd never heard the like of "McNamara's Band." The Three Jesters' version is different: The politics of "Ould Ireland" are removed. "Me name is..." rather than "My name is.... Oh!, me name is McNamara. I'm the Leader of the Band. Although we're few in numbers, we're the finest in the land. We play at wakes and weddin's, at every fancy ball, And when we play the funerals we play the march from "Saul." Oh! the drums go bang, the cymbals clang, the horns they blaze away. McCarthy pumps the old basoon, and Hennessey Tennessey tootles the flute, the music is somethin' grand. A credit to old Ireland is McNamara's Band! Right now we are rehearsin' for a swell affair, The annual celebration, all the gentry will be there; when General Grant to Ireland came, he took me by the hand, Says he, "I never saw the likes of McNamara's Band."

Oh my name is Uncle Yulius and from Sweden I did come, To play with McNamara's Band and beat the big bass drum. And when I march along the street the ladies think I'm grand, They shout "There's Uncle Yulius playing with an Irish band." Oh! I wear a bunch of shamrocks and a uniform of green, And I am the funniest looking Swede that you have seen. There is O'Briens and Ryans and Sheehans and Meehans, they come from Ireland, But by Yimminy, I'm the only Swede in McNamara's Band; the English Premier League football team Tottenham Hotspur F. C. adopted the song as their club anthem, with one verse changed:Oh the whistle blows the cockerel crows, now we're in the game, It's up to you, you Lilywhites, to play the Tottenham way. Oh there's many a team from many a town and some are great and small, But the famous Tottenham Hotspur are the greatest of them all. "MacNamara's Band" is a club song for Tottenham Hotspur F. C. a Premier League Football Club in North London. The connection to the club may be that the song was written in Barnet North London and not far from the
