The Drew House Band - Remembering Ronnie

The ICC is so thrilled that Phelim Drew is coming back to perform with his band here at the ICC. This time he is bringing his hit show “Remembering Ronnie” which pays homage to his late, legendary father, Ronnie Drew, the lead singer of the iconic band “The Dubliners”!

This show has been selling out all over Ireland and those of you who seen Phelim perform live here at the ICC in 2019, will know what an unforgettable night of music and song that  truly was. Phelim is an exceptional singer and live performer and we encourage you book tickets early

Here Phelim Drew talks about what inspired him to put together this magical show…

“Growing up I was always struck by the electricity generated by a concert given by The Dubliners. Looking back I can see clearly that the group was exceptional not only because of the individual strength of the performers but that combined they were a force of nature. 

That energy and excitement coupled with the unbridled joy of a Dubliner’s audience made for a nights entertainment that felt more like a party in full swing where the hosts and guests were in perfect harmony.

My ambitions as a singer have always been modest as a result! Having spent my life working in theatre, along the road music has always played a big part in my tool-box as an actor in shows like The Abbey Theatre production of ‘The Risen People’ or Landmark/Olympia production of ‘Once’ and, over the years, the enjoyment of playing small venues with friends.

In the years since my father passed away, I've come to enjoy listening back over his musical legacy and the wealth of material has reawakened not only a sense of pride but also deep appreciation.

With the upcoming show I'll be telling a few yarns and singing some of the songs made famous by Ronnie, Luke, Barney, Ciaran and John. 

Joined by Anto Drennan on guitar and Bernard Kavanagh on  double bass and Ger Kiely on electric guitar the night will be made by a mix of folk and other musical influences that will go towards creating a performance that hopefully the audience can enjoy as much as we will.” Phelim Drew.
