Joseph Ronald "Ronnie" Drew〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Medusa Fora • View topic – Dubliners + Ronnie Drew )〕 (Irish'': Ránall Ó Draoi'' ) (16 September 1934 – 16 August 2008) was an Irish singer, folk musician and actor who achieved international fame during a fifty-year career recording with The Dubliners. He is most recognised for his lead vocals on the single "Seven Drunken Nights" and "The Irish Rover" both charting in the UK top 10 and then performed on ''TOTP''. He was recognisable for his long beard and his voice, which was once described by Nathan Joseph as being "like the sound of coke being crushed under a door".〔Doyle, J., (''Bobby Lynch – The Forgotten Dubliner'' ), ThreeMonkeysOnline.com, November 2008. Retrieved on 19 January 2010.〕〔WMC News Department, (''Ronnie Drew, Founder of The Dubliners Dies at 73'' ), 18 August 2008; retrieved 19 January 2010.〕〔More L., (''Freeborn Men of the Common People'' ), AllCelticMusic.com, March 2002.〕 ==Early life== Ronnie Drew was born in Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin in 1934. Ironically, and although he was so intimately associated with being "a Dubliner", he would somewhat tongue-in-cheek say that "I was born and grew up in Dún Laoghaire, and no true Dubliner would accept that at all!",〔Pearson, N., ''The Bells of Hell'', (Program), 1974.〕 a quip that Andy Irvine relayed in his song "O'Donoghue's".〔''Mozaik – Changing Trains'', Compass Records 744682, 2007.〕 Drew was educated at CBS Eblana and used to "mitch" and cycle up to Leopardstown Racecourse. Despite his aversion to education, he was considered the most intelligent in his class by schoolfriend and future Irish film censor, Sheamus Smith. Drew had also sung as a boy soprano before his voice broke. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ronnie Drew」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
