"The Auld Triangle" (euskaraz Triangelu zaharra) Dominic Behanek idatzitako abestia da eta Brendan Behan bere anaiak sortutako antzezlanean sartu zuten. Ohikoa da abestia abestu aurretik espetxean jazotako preso baten exekuzioaren eguneko gertakizunari buruzko hitzaurrea egitea (benetako bizitzan Brendan Behan Mountjoy Prison espetxeko presoa izan baitzen). Aipatutako triangeluak Montjoy Prison bertan espetxeratuak zeuden gizasemeak egunero jeikitzeko jo ohi zen metalezko triangeluari erreferentzia egiten dio ("The Auld Triangle goes Jingle Jangle" edo "Triangelua txilin-txalan doa"). Gaur egun triangelu hau oraindik espetexeko erdigunean zintzilik dirau, bertan eraikinaren hegal ezberdinak bat egiten zuten metalezko atea dagoelarik.

"The Auld Triangle" is a song by Dick Shannon, often attributed to Brendan Behan, who made it famous when he included it in his 1954 play The Quare Fellow. He first performed it publicly in 1952 on the RTE radio programme 'The Ballad Maker's Saturday Night', produced by Mícheál Ó hAodha. Behan's biographer, Michael O'Sullivan, recorded, 'It has been believed for many years that Brendan wrote that famous prison song but Mícheál Ó hAodha says he never laid claim to authorship. Indeed he asked him to send a copyright to another Dubliner, Dick Shannon.' When he recorded the song for Brendan Behan Sings Irish Folksongs and Ballads (Spoken Arts 1960), Behan introduced it with these words: 'This song was written by a person who will never hear it recorded, because he's not in possession of a gram

The Auld Triangle (deutsch „Die alte Triangel“) ist eine Ballade, die der irische Schriftsteller und Songwriter Dominic Behan für das 1954 uraufgeführte Theaterstück seines Bruders Brendan Behan schrieb. Es ist auch unter dem alternativen Titel The Banks of the Royal Canal oder kurz The Royal Canal bekannt. Das Lied handelt von den Beschwernissen des Gefängnislebens. Behan griff dabei auf seine Erfahrungen als Häftling im Dubliner Mountjoy Prison zurück; der Titel bezieht sich auf die große, noch heute vorhandene Triangel im Mittelpunkt des Gefängnishofes, die jeden Morgen geschlagen wurde, um die Häftlinge zu wecken. In The Quare Fellow, dessen Handlung sich ebenfalls in einem Gefängnis zuträgt, bildet es eine Art thematischen Prolog zum Drama. Seither ist es in das Standardrepertoire irischen Liedguts eingegangen und ist von einer Vielzahl von Musikern interpretiert worden, so schon 1967 von Bob Dylan, am bekanntesten sind wohl die Versionen von The Dubliners und The Pogues. Besonders für die Dubliners wurde das Lied zu einem ihrer signature songs. 1987 etwa strahlte das irische Fernsehen eine Tribute-Sendung zu Ehren der Band aus, es war zugleich der letzte Auftritt von Ciarán Bourke vor seinem Tod; zum Abschluss sangen alle beteiligten Musiker (darunter Ronnie Drew und U2) gemeinsam The Auld Triangle.

"The Auld Triangle" is a song by Dick Shannon, often attributed to Brendan Behan, who made it famous when he included it in his 1954 play The Quare Fellow. He first performed it publicly in 1952 on the RTE radio programme 'The Ballad Maker's Saturday Night', produced by Mícheál Ó hAodha. Behan's biographer, Michael O'Sullivan, recorded, 'It has been believed for many years that Brendan wrote that famous prison song but Mícheál Ó hAodha says he never laid claim to authorship. Indeed he asked him to send a copyright to another Dubliner, Dick Shannon.' When he recorded the song for Brendan Behan Sings Irish Folksongs and Ballads (Spoken Arts 1960), Behan introduced it with these words: 'This song was written by a person who will never hear it recorded, because he's not in possession of a gramophone. He's ... he's ... pretty much of a tramp.' Shannon's authorship was asserted by his relatives in discussions on the Mudcat Cafe folksong forum. Here, Deasún ÓSeanáin, his nephew, recorded: 'My father Thomas Shannon told me as far back as the 1950s that Dickey had written it. Dickey is buried in Manchester. It would be nice to see a plaque erected indicating him as the author.' Shannon's grandson Tom Neary posted: 'I can confirm that it was indeed Dicky Shannon who penned the song for Behan. Brendan and Dicky were very close pals, as well as drinking mates....I have many stories of their escapades together....Brendan always credited Dicky for the song because they were great pals, however, I can verify that Dicky never received a penny in royalties and neither did his family...I must also point out that grandad was not in fact a tramp, but was a highly articulate man with a very dry sense of humour, which could cut you to the quick without degrading you. He was also a very tough man who had literally fought his way through life in the Liberties.' The first commercial recording was by Brendan's brother Dominic Behan on his 1958 Topic album Irish Songs. On the liner notes, he wrote, 'The Old Triangle is a song of Mountjoy Prison and was made popular in the play "The Quare Fella" by Brendan Behan of Dublin.' The song was later made famous by Luke Kelly, Ronnie Drew and The Dubliners in the late 1960s, and was revived for a new audience by Irish rock band The Pogues on their 1984 album Red Roses for Me. The song has become also a football chant, sung by fans of the Dublin Bohemian Football Club whose ground is near the prison. In 2021, Ronan Burtenshaw reported, 'Recently, the club's fans have gone viral for their renditions of ‘The Auld Triangle'.'
