If you liked RTÉ’s Centenary [Easter Rising concert], you’ll love Maynooth University Chamber Choir performing Raglan Road. It’s simply stunning. Performed in the University of Arizona. The Soloist is called Francis Flood and the conductor is Michael Dawson.

The Definitive version. Nobody sings it like Luke, but as a choral peice, the Maynooth choir do a beautiful job.
The best!
The heart soars. I shed a tear, too.
I used to be in that choir. I miss it now.
Its never too late…

You get a +1 for linking this. Always loved that.
That’s superb, nice one.
Brings tears to my eyes, every time – what is it about that soft brass sound like velvet under her voice!
Poor old Brendan Gleeson.

Lovin’ it ! :)
Choirs are the business.
But I’m a solid Luke fan when it comes to Raglan Road.
For your added serenity, this is my favourite choir rendition of The Parting Glass which always pops out a Hoop tear and ear-worm;
