There's a new Joe Dolan album coming your way soon
IT’S not every day that one gets serenaded at the start of an interview. When Ben Dolan hears my name, I get a few bars of ‘Margie’. After more than 50 years in the music business, Ben is still in fine voice and I’m guessing he also has quite a hefty songbook in his head.
“I’ve heard a good few in my time,” he laughs. Ben spent 47 years on the road with his brother Joe, playing saxophone in the legendary singer’s band. Joe was one of Ireland’s most popular performers and his many fans at home and abroad were devastated when he died, aged 68, on St Stephen’s Day in 2007.
