One of my favourites from Luke isn't an Irish song at all... The night visiting song.

Another one, the live recording of The black velvet band.. The energy is incredible

There are still many though. When someone is blessed with such an incredible voice, anything they sing sounds good.

I've seen numerous debates about its origins, some saying Scotland and others England. Some claim it's Irish as well. It's a great song though. The first line is a great one.

Peat bog soldiers.

The nightingale.

School days over.

A song for Ireland.

The lifeboat mona.

The sun is burning.

The night visiting song.

Maids when you're young never wed an old man.

Thirty foot trailer.

Scorn not his simplicity, no one else has been able to sing it with as much emotion.

"It's called 'on raglan road' "

I still call it Dawning of the Day when I play it Currently helping try to put together a concert piece based on it - for whenever it might be possible to perform again

the song is called raglan road and the air is called the dawning of the the day, the words were written as a poem by the famous irish writer Patrick Kavanagh and the dubliners put the air to the poem and the song was born!

Yep I know. I played the air for years before I knew that though. I'm a bit of a latecomer to Luke Kelly. I want to combine all three elements for a performance piece - I've the vision in my head and some of it on paper so I'm hoping that with a bit of help from my colleagues we can make it come to fruition.

Try putting it in D as you can drop it up and down. In my opinion

Aye... in D is always a winner , easy to adapt to any singer if they want to steal your thunder
