We were very sad to hear earlier today of the passing of our dear friend Ronnie Drew, a founding member of the Irish folk group The Dubliners. Ronnie passed away in Dublin after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 73.

Ronnie was an inspiration to us all and it was a huge honor to be able to work with him last year when we recorded “Flannigan’s Ball” together.

He was the genuine article; a talented artist, a humble man and a wonderful spirit. He will be sadly missed and dearly remembered.

Ronnie is survived by his two children and five grandchildren. Our hearts & sympathies go out to his family & loved ones.
