Nationwide Irish concert tour to mark the 20th anniversary of Joe Dolan’s passing, featuring a 9-piece band including original members of his backing band The Dolan family this week 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 his music remains as popular as ever.
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. He 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 9-piece line-up bringing his sound to life once again. Billed as a nostalgic evening of hit after hit, the tour revives Joe’s famous catchphrase: “There’s No Show Like A Joe Show” — the words that once summed up the joy and energy of his live performances, and the mood he left audiences in long after the final note. First hitting the Irish top ten in 1964 with a Del Shannon cover, ‘The Answer to Everything’, he continued his success in the charts with a string of hits including, ‘I Love You More And More Everyday’, ‘My Own Peculiar Way’, ‘Aching Breaking Heart’, ‘Pretty Brown Eyes’, ‘Tar And Cement’, ‘The House with the Whitewashed Gable’, ‘Love Of The Common People’, and ‘The Westmeath Bachelor’. Joe’s big international break came in 1969 when his track ‘Make Me An Island’ peaked at number 3 in the UK charts and topped the charts in an incredible 14 countries. His success grew during the 1970s and included a five times gold record hit, ‘Lady in Blue’, which sold over one million copies. He went on to establish his own record label, Gabel Records, and build a recording studio in his beloved Mullingar.
