Ronnie Drew R.I.P.

Fuair sé bás trathnóna inniu.

Go ndéana Dia trócaire ar a anam.

Ahhh shite. Poor old Ronnie. Bless his soul

RIP.
A national treasure.

Liked him best singing those Spanish songs. Not many more like that around.

God, I loved that man.

I posted some thoughts here. (Sorry, P.ie announced it first.)

I didn't know. He didn't look well for a while. But at least his voice will live on.

I was really disappointed when rte cut short "Seven Drunken Nights" at end of the news on rte tonite. He was bigger than their credits. The man's voice is an echo of all our times past.

Yeah that's well said. I don't know if you are from the Luke Kelly era but could you say Luke Kelly was something similar? Not for me anyway but Ronnie Drew is as you say, part of the music of all our times past.

Kelly even more so. I want to rip down the Spire and put him up there. He was a sword of light in depressing times.
