The Dolan Family presents Remembering Joe
The Annual Joe Dolan Festival
Celebrate the music of Joe Dolan, one of Ireland’s greatest singers. The Dolan Family have announced a nationwide tour in 2024 for Remembering Joe Dolan, the annual Joe Dolan festival. You'll be singing and dancing along to all those famous Joe hits!
Joe’s brother Ben Dolan, who shared the stage with his younger brother for 47 fun-filled years, will highlight Joe’s successful singing career. He will be joined on stage by Joe’s niece Sandra, nephews Adrian and Ray, with singer Karen Carroll and members of Joe’s original backing band. A nostalgic evening of hit after hit.
Throughout his singing career Joe's energetic and charismatic stage performances thrilled audiences throughout the world. From his first hit in 1964, The Answer to Everything, through the 70s with hits such as I Need You and Sweet Little Rock ‘n’ Roller, the 80’s with More and More, It’s You, It’s You, It’s You and ‘Goodbye Venice Goodbye, The 90s with The Universal and into the new century with a musical collaboration with The RTÉ Concert Orchestra.
Since his passing in 2007, Joe Dolan’s music is as popular as ever. His song You’re Such A Good Looking Woman was included in the recent Disney film, Cruella. Contemporary singers such as Robbie Williams, Damon Albarn, Shane McGowan and Morrissey have said they are fans of Joe’s music and even included his songs in their live shows.
"No show like a Joe show" was the catchphrase used to describe Joe’s live shows and how they used to put people in a happy mood, and that's certainly true of Remembering Joe.
