What is recorded here
Ronnie Drew was born in Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, Ireland. He became the founding voice of The Dubliners, the Irish folk band that carried traditional ballads across Europe and America from 1962 onward. His gravel voice and stubborn joy helped make Irish folk music a worldwide force, and generations of singers still measure themselves against the versions he and Luke Kelly recorded.
