About Ronnie Drew, the Irish singer, folk musician and actor who had a fifty-year career recording with The Dubliners. He sang lead vocals on the singles "Seven Drunken Nights" and "The Irish Rover", which both charted in the UK top 10 and were performed on "Top of the Pops". Ronnie Drew was Shane MacGowan for a previous generation, a once-in-a-lifetime character who filled his songs with emotion and often ribaldry. When Ronnie launched into "The Auld Triangle," Brendan Behan's Dublin came alive.
