Frank Harte sings the nineteenth-century ballad ‘The Humours of Donnybrook Fair’ which paints a colourful picture of the event.
The song is about a fair with a reputation for brawling and carousing held at Donnybrook in Dublin City.
The fair in Donnybrook was established in 1204 by the Normans to thank the citizens of Dublin for their help in building the walls of the city. Held on land in Donnybrook next to the river Dodder, it endured for centuries and was a permanent and popular fixture in the city calendar every August.
The fair was well known throughout Ireland, and over time gained a certain amount of notoriety. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the well-to-do residents of Donnybrook and members of the upper classes frowned on the entertainment, customs and behaviour of the fair and the people who attended it.
