I cannot think of a band that gave me more pleasure on so many occasions. Ronnie Drew played a huge role in making the Dubliners special, and I am grateful to have caught them at their peak, when Luke and Ciaran were also alive.
Among the many impressive words left here, I was especially moved by yours, Eric, and I hope you do not mind that I have repeated them in my own small tribute at
Salut! Live , for which I have also borrowed that YouTube clip.
