  • who wrote this song?

  • Not sure who wrote the tune to this, but Patrick Kavanagh wrote the poem about himself.

  • It's interesting to hear Patrick Kavanagh say his poem, but it lacks the depth that Ronnie's voice brings to it. PK's is to thin and high-pitched. Love this song.

  • Post the link to PK version if it is on YouTube please, I'd like to hear it :-)

  • @lreland1 PK's version is here:

  • @STRUGLINGCHILD Excellent thanks a lot for pointing that out.

  • I'll make sure my children hears his voice, and brings it on to their children. Such a voice should never be forgotten.

  • What a voice. Dripping with character. Unique & unforgettable.

  • Beautiful.

  • Rest in Peace Ronnie Drew. I had the misfortune of not finding him until he was already gone... But I have enjoyed his music every since I found it. His voice was so heartfelt and it makes you feel good inside. I will pass his voice on to all that I know. The beloved Dub will not be lost in time. I swear to it.

    Raise your Glasses to both

  • Rest in Piece Ronnie Drew and Reimar Stukenberg!!!

  • Mr. Drew reminds me of Johnny Cash. A voice composed of a trillion, yet significant, individual attributes that contrive an unmicicable, uncontestable, unforgetable vocal ballet. This is a voice that can adamize a timeless legacy. R.I.P Ronnie Drew, you have achieved immortality.

  • rip mate!! well never forget ya!!!

  • Here's to the Ronnie, The Voice we adore!

  • a true man. we'll never see your likes again
