Ronnie Drew Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam

Ronnie Drew lost his brave fight against cancer today. His loss is enormous. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family. It was like hearing a family member died. He epitomised wisdom, wit, joy for life, love and passion for music. The word legend is used a little loosely at times, but we truly have just lost a legend and he will be sorely missed. Very very sad news. So sorry.

Ronnie Drew, 1934-2008. Rest in Peace.

The wonderful painting of Ronnie is by Niall O’Loughlin. Another great piece Niall, it’s a pity Ronnie didn’t get to see it and sign it for you.
