Billy Joel’s latest Dublin gig got just a little bit more special when he broke into a rendition of On Raglan Road last night.
If there’s one way to make a local crowd fall in love with a musician, other than by simply saying they’re the best audience he’s that performer has ever had, it’s to pay homage to the local talent.
So when Joel broke into On Raglan Road, originally written by Patrick Kavanagh and popularised in song form by the Dubliners’ Luke Kelly, the crowd went nuts.
Listen for yourself…

The only way he could’ve topped this was by having Westlife join him on stage for Uptown Girl.
