As the (very recognisable) son of legendary Dubliner Ronnie
Drew, actor and musician Phelim Drew realises that he has
some very big shoes to fill.
Growing up he says he was in awe of “the electricity
generated by a Dubliners show”. Ten years after Ronnie’s
passing, Phelim has returned to his musical legacy and the
wealth of material has reawakened not only a sense of pride
but also a new sense of appreciation. With Remembering
Ronnie, Phelim will be telling anecdotes and singing some
of the songs made famous by Ronnie, Luke, Barney, Ciaran
and John.
