There are singers and critics lets be hones but when the likes of Ciaran MacMahuna says " get Luke to sing Raglan Road" you know an expert in Irish singing tradition has blessed the singer and the song. Rightly so too, Luke got the message from Paddy Kavanagh and made it his own and he has never been bettered and never will. What a legacy he has left us all.

This is an absolutely beautiful love song. I always thought Van did a good version, but with all respect Van, this is the definitive version by Luke. The look and expression on Patrick Kavanagh`s face at 4.55, a little whisper and memory as he remembers and recalls his lost love. A memory most of us can recall. RIP
@seanbaite47

Agree on this being the definitive performance, Alan, still left spellbound by it 20 years or so after first seeing it on an Irish TV trad music archive programme. However that's not Patrick Kavanagh listening - he was already dead 10 years or so when this was recorded (in 1979, I think). The three venerable gents listening so reverently are Ciarán MacMathúna - radio presenter/music collector in his younger days / Benedict Kiely - the rather good Tyrone writer/novelist / and Paddy Tunney - an excellent singer from Fermanagh. I believe all three of them have also since left to join Luke in the snug in the sky. The moment you're referring to is between Kiely and MacMathúna. 30 years since Luke was taken from us this very week also - which has me looking for this gem again.
