In my opinion Irish traditional music and singers are on a different level to the rest of the world! Each singer in this beautiful song had goosebumps on my arms and had me replaying it over and over again. maith sibh a chairde! 💚💟🧡
That's one of the most beautiful sounds I've heard... Each voice was unique and wonderful. Perfect fit of voices and the musicians were wonderful. Thank you for that moment.....
I remember from the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s when this beautiful Patrick Kavanagh "Raglan Road" song/poem was frowned upon in Ireland during the time of the never ending economic doom and immigration in the South, and nauseating non ceasing conflict in the North. The song was seen as hokey, and harking back to even a worse era, the mid 1950s to the mid 1960s. Patrick Kavanagh chose two lovely Dublin streets for his poem/ballad. The fancy pedestrian Grafton Street just south of the city center, and the tree lined with Georgian houses Raglan Road in Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.
You can literally walk from the St. Stephens Green, end of Grafton st. Down to Baggot St. lower then upper and hit the junction of Raglan Rd. The joys of being brought up in that neck of the woods (D2 ...going to school in D4).
So beautiful! I have always loved Luke Kelly’s version, which is a tough listen but matches the pain of the singer/poet. This version is just so beautiful, love it!!
Brilliant outstanding stunning , such a collection of voices the power of words and music you could not pick just one performer its a balance of all a synergy of all beautiful, that what you call a keeper
That's was beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes as the memories of my ballerina came flooding back. Even though its been nearly 40 years, I can still feel the softness of her skin and her long cascading hair that blocked out intruding eyes like a black waterfall at midnight.
What a fantastic concept, beautifully realized. I already loved this song dearly; now thanks to this recording I've learned of several singers new to me--their variety makes it soar even more than one "ideal" rendition does.
My grandfather a proud Dublin man used to drink with Patrick Kavanagh occasionally..they shared a surname a slightly bittered view on life and a fondness for the drink. Lovely version of Raglan Road.
Why does this track and this interpretation bring tears to a grown mans eyes, this is an incredible feelings of emotion ? so proud to be an Irish man one of the very best recordings i have ever heard thanks guys😢
I'm not sure in what other this is in but the singers are 'Paddy Casey, Davey Cashin, Eleanor McEvoy, Loah, Sive, Sibéal NíChaside, Sean O’Sé, Luan Parle, Phelim Drew and Daoiri Farrell.'
Looking at the comments I realise I’m late to this party. But anyway for what it’s worth,this is fantastic, be proud of this work. From a son of a drogheda lady
In truth this song was originally a poem which a middle aged irish poet wrote in anger against a young woman who dumped him and who he claimed was a gold digger.

Paddy Casey is the first one and the old man is Sean o se and the guy that talks is Phelim Drew, Ronnie Drew (from the original dubliners) son. He sounds exactly like him

Seriously leave Raglan Road alone. Nobody will ever beat Luke Kelly performing it. These people don’t have the old Dublin accent which gives the song its unique sound.
You wrote the same comment twice in a row and gave both of them a thumbs up yourself. Were you drinking at the time? A year on and not one other soul gave you a like.
I think the most beautiful song of unrequited love
The chap singing third is clear and powerful, many thanks to him! Love this song, and you all do it such justice!! Thank you all! Slainte!
What a wonderful performance . Such beautiful singing voices , Breathing .Thank You All.
Phelim Drew💚
What a wonderful performance Beautiful singing voices . Just breathtaking. Thank you all.
Possibly the most beautiful song ever written about unrequited love .
So true.
Smack my bitch up is a close second!
Beautiful singers and music, very enjoyable just breathtaking. Thank you all.
OMG! Ronnie Drew has been resurrected through his son, Phelim Drew. That voice cannot be replicated by/through anyone else.
In my opinion Irish traditional music and singers are on a different level to the rest of the world! Each singer in this beautiful song had goosebumps on my arms and had me replaying it over and over again. maith sibh a chairde! 💚💟🧡
My God this is so beautiful. Incredible voices. Blown away.

So much melancholy sadness. Imiss her so much

A beautiful rendition of one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Just wonderful
Love this, weaves a snare of its own .
That's was beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes as the memories of my ballerina came flooding back. Even though its been nearly 40 years, I can still feel the softness of her skin and her long cascading hair that blocked out intruding eyes like a black waterfall at midnight.
What a reply. It was a poignant portrayal of the effects of love that touches all. My compliments.
Need a full version of this song by Daoiri Farrell
Daoirí Farrell is some man.
Absolute chills the good kind
Paddy Kavanagh Brendan Behan and the tilly can of porter can we not appreciate our legends when they are alive.True Irish men
WOW The Excellent Luan Parle Also...
Like the mix of people and voices, yet at the same time is pure Irish...
Phelim Drew has his ol mans pipes
I knew that voice instantly! Love it. Ronnie, you're still wid us!!!!!
Gussie B B indeed!
He sounds very similar to him. If you were to cover most peoples eyes and put the 2 together they wouldnt tell the difference
Lovely version. Thank you. One of my favourite songs. Resonates so much for me.
Beautiful song. Pure poetry.
Thid song is one of favourite. It so somber and sad. But beustiful at the same time

Thank you so much beautiful black woman
Grossartig! (Great!)
The best rendition is luke kelly
Brilliant
Wow.
In truth this song was originally a poem which a middle aged irish poet wrote in anger against a young woman who dumped him and who he claimed was a gold digger.
And of course he claims he is an angel, talk about ego.
Kavanagh was a tormented boyo as we all know. Most artists are a bit fruity if we're being honest.
They weren’t in a relationship, it was unrequited love ... they had a good friendship and she was wealthier than him!
Great
Only a few days left, anticiation xxxxxx
Brutal
anticipation :)
I sent my only copy of this to Brother (Patrick @ Sancta Maria Abbey,Nunraw)a 1,000 years ago. Wish I had another copy of to play now.
Unbelievable ♥️
Thank you Ben!! :) Glad you enjoyed it!
I am here in the states...can somone post who's who :)

@@fenoloveslinda Thanks...love this song especially Mary Black's version
Wow!!
An Raglan road lyrics
Love the soft irish voices, is that blonde woman american? She does the slightly country harmonies. Could listen all night.

Seriously leave Raglan Road alone. Nobody will ever beat Luke Kelly performing it. These people don’t have the old Dublin accent which gives the song its unique sound.
The poet is from Monaghan so no need for a Dubliner n accent The girl of his desire is from Kerry
Why not enjoy a magnificent performance, yes Luke Kelly's performance of it is excellent, so to is George Murphy just relax and enjoy.
Could you guys mark, in the video, the link for the show? I don't know any, that would help a lot. ;)
Hi Cmmoraisbr! Here's link to website: tradfest.ie/
Beautiful voices, the loah girls voice didn't go with song out place. But all great
Mae hwn yn fersiwn hollol hyfryd ac hudolus. Diolch i chi.
Who is the black lady? Neither her face or voice rings a bell with me.

@@ThomasBOURKE Thanks for that. Will look her as I've never heard of her.
Love the song but this doesn't work for me.
Sibéal Ní Chaside opens her mouth, and all other singers, are pale in comparison... wow!
She's channelling something ancient and celtic. Mesmerising.
But as for this version? You must be joking!
It's the song/lyrics.... No need for people or diversity videos ??
No self respecting sas man would ridicule himself by being part of this tv sham.
Why are they whispering ,,sing the song! !!
O now
You're clearly not Irish, or you wouldn't need to ask that crass question.
Something is out of place....
must be you. I think.
What would that be?
devoid of originality, mediocre rubbish that is being promoted in adverts . .
You wrote the same comment twice in a row and gave both of them a thumbs up yourself. Were you drinking at the time?
A year on and not one other soul gave you a like.
😂
Crap version, forced to advertise. lacks originality.
Great
