Sindo editor Aengus Fanning helps Phelim and Cliodhna Drew to reflect on their father.
Mr Fanning was at Ronnie Drew's side for 'seven months -- seven months of terminal illness -- that it took to record his last album.' The editor 'found himself taking on the role of an errant son, working as driver, dogsbody and amanuensis.'
The accompanying article was written by Donal Lynch, who doesn't feature in the photograph. Note the air of easy gaiety that Fanning creates, as Phelim Drew casually plugs his father's biography. Drew's last recording lies on the table, while a portrait of the Dubliner hangs above Cliodhna. The photograph was posed in O Donoghue's pub, well known for its Dubliners decorations.
