- Luke Kelly recalls meeting Patrick Kavanagh in The Bailey pub where the poet told him he had a song for him.
‘On Raglan Road’ was written by Patrick Kavanagh as a poem and was set to the music of the traditional song ‘The Dawning of the Day’ (Fáinne Geal an Lae).
You should sing Raglan Road
Luke Kelly singer with The Dubliners describes how Patrick Kavanagh suggested he should sing ‘On Raglan Road’. Luke Kelly sings and plays banjo performing the ballad accompanied by Al O’Donnell on guitar.
This recording was made in Studio 1 in RTÉ in July 1978.
This episode of ‘Humours of Donnybrook’ was broadcast on 10 January 1979.
The one of the most beautiful song sung by our beloved Luke Kelly. For sure is a great musical treasure in the World, I've ever heard. Luke Kelly forever. He is an immortal man.
When he opens his mouth and sings the heavens open. I’ve never heard anything like it.
We still miss you Luke.the best voice ever to come out of beautifull Ireland .God Bless you and thank you for your kind of music.
Luke Kelly, Ireland's National Treasure taken from us way too soon. Our eternal son, gone but never forgotten! He has since been joined by Ronnie and most of The Dubliners who are up above having a rare old sing song with Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains and Paul Furey of The Furey Brothers, with the odd pint of Guinness thrown in! RIP lads! 💚💚
Thank you for this beautiful music...
Meeting Luke and Banjo Mc Kenna in a pub in Germany in about 1982 was one of my life's highlights, I was shocked to see the boys there but there was one certainty, the Germans loved the Dubliners...A sessiun broke out as Banjos appeared from nowhere and Luke sang Raglan road, due to the amount of cheering and clapping the Poliezi arrived and within a few minutes they joined in the fun ..What a night , totally unexpected for everyone including Luke and Barney they had just sneaked away from the hotel for a quiet drink..When I left the cops were getting Luke and Barneys autographs..At that time the Dubliners were massive in West Germany as it was then ...
Great to hear! Probably the f##king highlight of their ' Crimefighting' careers!
Love this song 🎶 especially when Luke sings it 💚💚☘️☘️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love this song. Most beautiful singer.I listen to it every night. B.S.
Every time he sang every song he seriously meant every word! Think about that! He was just soo genuine in his own right!!! Just gorgeous man!
What can one say....just perfect
It's wonderful to both see and hear him.
A magical moment.
I don't think there will ever be a better version or rendition, Luke nailed it. Job done. I just wonder if he had his own particular favorite, this is certainly one of mine. Respect, wish I could play like you.
A masterpiece. So underrated.

Even as a Scotsman I have always loved the Dubliners music, but Luke was something else
so sad he was taken so early in his life.😢

Went to Raglan Road of an Autumn day and met no fair maiden. There were the occasional tourists looking at Paddy Kavanagh's house. Not sure if they were members of the Paddy Kavanagh or Luke Kelly fan club as I didn't have the gift of many tongues. Lovely street
Mesmerising

He was the best.
Whatever happened to Ireland now communist
