I don't think that there will ever again be anyone like Ronnie Drew. He had great respect for old songs. Thank god he recorded them. He really made the Dubliners. He left a great legacy.
What a legend... I met the man a few times in pubs in Dublin and once in a pub in London.... Always a true gent and full of craic... Had time for everyone! I even bought him a pint! True legend.
Ronnie's wonderful anecdote about the great Brendan Behan. "The difference between poetry and prose A young cyclist from down near rings end Who worked for ferrier polloks Rode his bike along Sandymount strand And the tide came up to his ankles That is prose If the tide had have been in, it would have been poetry."
I worked in The Tavern in Tralee in the late 1960s and early 70s and I cooked breakfast for the Dubliners several times. A great group of incredibly talented musicians and singers. We'll done lads.
My friend was in love with Kinelly. He taught her. Am getting mixed up in the Brendans he’s talking about Behan and Kinelly. Kavanagh sounded like a man worth meeting. On Raglan Road in itself is stunning. Re. Poetry n Prose. Moliere’s Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme made the discovery late in life that he had been speaking prose his whole life!!! Still trying to find a photo from 82 of me n Gem. I’m wearing a red pleated miniskirt and have a hairdo like Moliere. Gem looks quite normal. X

Ronnie's wonderful anecdote about the great Brendan Behan.
"The difference between poetry and prose
A young cyclist from down near rings end
Who worked for ferrier polloks
Rode his bike along Sandymount strand
And the tide came up to his ankles
That is prose
If the tide had have been in, it would have been poetry."
Brilliant
Sunday in the Ardhu Ryan bar, Limerick, after a concert the night before. 1970 or 71.They were hilarious fun.
