Joe Dolan show coming to Kildare
Joe Dolan's brother Ben
THE DOLAN family recently announced the highly-anticipated return of ‘Remembering Joe – The Joe Dolan Show’ with The Dolan family following sell-out performances countrywide.
The 2027 nationwide tour will mark the 20th anniversary of Joe Dolan’s passing in 2007 and will come to Newbridge on Friday 5 March at the Keadeen Hotel. Joe’s brother Ben Dolan, who shared the stage with his younger brother for 47 fun-filled years, will headline the celebration of Joe’s remarkable singing career.
“I still miss Joe every day, but his music and meeting the fans at our shows keeps me going. I don’t feel 92,” he said.
Ben will be joined on stage by Joe’s niece Sandra, nephews Adrian and Ray, singer Karen Carroll, and members of Joe’s original backing band – a nine-piece line-up bringing Joe’s sound to life once again.
Joe Dolan is the only Irish singer to have had hits across five consecutive decades: the 1960s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and 2000s. In the 1980s came ‘More and More’, ‘It’s You, It’s You, It’s You’ and ‘Goodbye, Venice, Goodbye’. Even into the 1990s, he remained highly relevant releasing albums where he covered contemporary indie and rock bands such as Blur, Oasis and U2, while his best-loved song, ‘You’re Such A Good Looking Woman’, featured in the Disney hit film .
Chiefly known in Ireland for his association with the showband and cabaret scene, with the advent of online recognition and YouTube it only became known how Joe’s music was so popular worldwide. He was celebrated for his innovative style and distinctive high tenor voice, earning him a devoted following both at home and internationally.
To mark his life and legacy, the Dolan family now bring their show, ’Remembering Joe’, to venues nationwide.
Tickets are available from joedolan.com or venue websites/booking office.
