[flashback]

Shite.

 

[dudley]

the tv3 news report called *that* song the "ultimate accolade"...

 

[flashback]

In a way is it the ultimate accolade.
When you're watching it, you're thinking Ronnie was sounder than him... and him, and her, definitely that prick....probably him. She's a fucking header.
And so on.

I'm crying as I write this. I knew it was coming but that's the saddest fucking thing I've heard all year. R.I.P. Ronnie.

I was lucky enough to get to see him play a good bit as a kid, pity my sprog never will (she'd just moan anyway but still. . ).

Even I won't take the piss in this thread.
Goodbye to a true Irish music legend.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

is that all the original line-up gone now? : (

is barney dead too?

Very sad news. Ronnie was a gem alright. Hopefully Bono won't come out with too much shite over the coming days.

 

[beattre]

Greystones just won't be the same without him...

The first person I ever did sound for was Ronnie Drew. He was lovely. I've seen the Dubliners 38 times (56 by the end of this year) but never with him in it. Barney Mc Kenna is the last living original member and still tours with them all year round. John Sheehan is still with them too but he didn't join for a few years after they started. RIP Ronnie.

Sad, sad, sad. Great loss.

I think the next Thumped Cover Challenge should be a Dubliners choon*. yay? nay? nothing can be as bad as that tribute shit.
RIP Ronnie!
