"On Raglan Road" is a well-known Irish song from a poem written by Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh named after Raglan Road in Ballsbridge, Dublin. The poem was put to music when the poet met Luke Kelly of the well-known Irish band The Dubliners in a pub in Dublin called The Bailey. I am sure Luke Kelly would be proud of Pamela Gilmartin's fantastic version of a beautiful song. Well done Pamela Gilmartin Music | Forgotten Ireland
