This message comes from across the Irish sea where Dolores was equally respected and revered. I feel privileged to have lived through an era where Irish music and song featured so prominently in our lives. Dolores had a distinctive voice that resounded with deep passion all enhanced by her natural Galway tones. Many a night I danced to Caledonia or raised a glass to Galway Bay over here in England. Dolores connected us with home – the real Ireland of our childhood. She is irreplaceable and managed to achieve stardom whilst remaining humble.
As I say goodbye to her I pay my respects to all her family members and a special word to Sean Keane (her brother) – another favourite singer of mine.
Rest In Peace Dolores.

You maybe gone from us Dolores in body but your wonderful voice and songs will live on forever. May you Rest In Peace.
