IrishDave	Help: Who wrote the tune to Raglan Road??? (80* d)	RE: Help: Who wrote the tune to Raglan Road???	30 Aug 06
The story goes, P Kavanagh was drinking in the Baggot Inn in Dublin and called Luke Kelly over. He began to sing the poem Raglan Road to him in a ditsy, quite non descript Irish air, knowing Kelly was a singer. Kelly returned the next day (yes the next day, everyone famous drank there at the time including Brendan Behan)with the air and fine performance we all know today, and Raglan Road was born. Incidentally, the Brendan Behan poem The Auld Triangle was transformed into an Irish classic exactly the same way, same pub and all.
