Raglan Road

A delve into the traditional Irish Music scene - This time an old favourite of mine Raglan Road.

This particular song has been covered by so many people, the two versions I prefer are by The Chieftans & Van Morrison and this one by Sinead O' Conner. She is a great singer and what stands out in the tune for me is the whistle playing - magical - where's my Low G Dixon Whistle!

  1. Mark - have you ever heard "The Ballad of William Bloat"? It's set to a faster version of the same great tune. If you don't know it, Google for the lyrics!
