A beautiful song well sung but the best rendition I've heard was in The Boat in in Oughtered ,Co Galway when my hubby and I had returned from a Saw Doctors concert in Galway. We went into The Boat Inn, the lights were dimmed and a young woman was sitting at a table with her parents and she sang Raglan Road ,no music ,no lights ,no customers ,just us and it was so lovely and such a beautiful memory.

This video would be more realistic if they didn’t use pretty actresses, rather than normal, everyday women.

Perfection

This was an amazing presentation. Thak you.

Such a beautiful poem.

One of my favourites

I am german but for me on raglan road is the most wonderfulst Song ever. I loved the voice of luke kelly.

Love the commentary, but this rendition is all wrong. Too rollicking and upbeat. the song is mournful. The Dubliner did it much better.

I remember hearing about this as a boy ,and recently started looking into it. I am so happy to see this as I was beginning to doubt the teacher that gave me this history.

Made me cry 😢 That’s not good 😔

Great presentation. Hat tip to Peter Kingsnorth for referring his readers to it. Too bad about the audio. WARNING! on a editing/splicing failure. Time 34:11 to time 52:00 is a total repeat! Anyone watching this can skip right over those 18 minutes.

I am reading Conor MacDari Irish Wisdom and the Bible. Finding a papyrus from any and all places from this earth's realm, within Ireland would be expected according to his research.

Nice presentation. I'm studying this time period. Irish history is fascinating. I'm not irish I'm Indian from England but I like the history

at 37 secs. A picture of... James Joyce statue. Will people think it's Patrick Kavanagh .

Beautiful & painful..my folks came from Ireland they were crazy but sooo funny.

Some say this song should be sung by a man. This is a nice version though

Was O'Malley the Minister of Education for a while?

Beautiful i could listen to this all day

A beautiful thing, I loved it thank you K Forde

My grandfather was called Patrick Mc manus and from Inniskeen. Born a few years before The poet. Would love to think they may have been acquainted.

Lived many years in Cork, saw the relics of poverty in the abandoned ruined cottages.....some with even bed and clothes left behind.....saw the poverty of spirit, infinite sadness....felt it too.

A lovely gentle presentation to go with a very sad song sensitively sang with respect

Wow

Does anyone know the chords to this version?

Just found this Great Video tonight. July 22/22. WOW, 1 of my Favs-Raglan Road. Brilliant.!

Wow I never knew the story behind it... So poignant..

What a beautiful story of Patrick kavnaghss life and this most amazing song,, such a beautiful country we have. 🎶😀👍

I lived near Raglan Road Dublin a beautiful street.

Yes, it was indeed Luke Kelly to whom Patrick Kavanagh had given the poem, Raglan Road, to put to music. Kelly combined Kavanagh's poem with the tune of an Irish language song, Le Fianne Gael An Lae, to produce a masterpiece worthy of Kavanagh's trust in him to do so.

im having a bit of trouble understand what he says, can someone help me thanks

My great grandfather lived on north circler road limerick and my grandmother his father said they had a fling

Beautiful.

There won't be many non-Dubs that know "The Enchanted Way" is a lane near Raglan road.

It has been said that the Irish have long memories, A very great man called Phil Lynott told me stories of long ago that I have and will pass on to others so the stories and history can be handed down forevermore

Thanks for sharing..

Simply beautiful, this version of the song!!

Beautiful singer

Luke Kelly made this song so great because he recognized that it was a Literary Giant that was asking him to record it, and he may also have been mindful of Kavanaghs savage wit, or sarcasm, from when Kavanagh interviewed Ronnie Drew who had gotten a show on Telefis Eireann as it was then, now RTE, when Kavanagh asked Ronnie was he a good guitarist, Ronnie in Modesty said he was not, when Kavanagh asked him was he a good singer again Ronnie in Modesty, or perhaps truthfully said he was not a great singer. Kavanagh wrote in his Column that "Ronnie Drew, by his own admission can neither Sing or Play the Guitar, and he is still getting his own show on Telefis Eireann". I would like to think that if Kavanagh ever wanted a Female Vocalist to record it ,he would have looked no further than one of the greatest female Vocalists and Songsmiths to ever come out of Ireland, Sinead O Connor, who has recorded a beautifully haunting interpretation of it. as have many others. And indeed Sinead and Ronnie Drew did Duet on "I,ve got a couple more years on ya baby, thats all."

You sure it's not about an inappropriate relationship between a man and an underage girl? Ex. Pedophilia

Why not sing the song from the beginning to the end as it was written. This does not tell the story properly.

Incredibly beautiful words. Video a stunning tribute to Patrick Kavanagh and Dublin. Great singer, but I think a lamenting male voice would have been more profound. Thank you for this lovely moment in time

I loved every second of this video. Thank you so much for sharing it.

a beautiful version of this beautiful song. I like it very much. There are of course many versions, but this is very nice, I like it.

Yep , Kelly's version is the best . Considering that it was Kavanagh himself who offered the song to Luke Kelly in Bailey's pub in Dublin .

Should have played luke Kelly's version
