Waxie's Dargle

Placeholder for Waxie's Dargle Memorial

The song known as "The Waxies' Dargle" offers a glimpse into Dublin life, recounting a conversation between two older women from the city planning a trip. This tune shares its name with a yearly event where Dublin's shoemakers, known as 'waxies', would journey to Ringsend.

Originally a nursery rhyme from the 1800s, the song has evolved into a well-loved piece often heard in Irish pubs today. It captures a spirit of community and the anticipation of a shared outing.
