2010 two CD collection from the Irish Folk legend. In 1962, Ronnie founded the Ronnie Drew Group with Luke Kelly, Barney McKenna and Ciaran Bourke. They soon changed their name to The Dubliners, with John Sheahan joining shortly afterwards to form the definitive line-up. They would soon become the best known Irish folk group of all time. From 1995 onwards Drew left to pursue a solo career. He recorded with many artists, including Christy Moore, The Pogues, Antonio Breschi, Dropkick Murphys, Eleanor Shanley and others. Ronnie Drew died in St. Vincent's Hospital, Dublin on 16 August 2008, following a long illness. This collection of his best loved material shows why he was loved and cherished by all.
