Joseph Ronald "Ronnie" Drew (Irish: Ránall Ó Draoi ) (16 September 1934 – 16 August 2008) was an Irish singer and folk musician who achieved international fame during a fifty-year career recording with The Dubliners. Born in Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin, 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".
