WORST DAY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry we just can’t find words to comment on that…
Here’s just a link to the article of the Irish Independent
Dolores once said in an interview that she couldn’t picture herself live over 50.
Unfortunately she was SO DAMN RIGHT.
Our deepest condolences go to Her Family, first.
Thinking also of the boys, the beautiful Cranberries team, and all our fellow fans.
WE LOVE YOU DOLORES
MAY YOU REST IN PEACE
Noel Hogan was one of the surprise special guests yesterday at “Metis Ireland”, an event in aid of 2 local charities, Pieta House and Limerick Suicide Watch. Concert held in Limerick at Dolan’s Warehouse, the famous local pub, so yes Noel kinda played home.
After Dolores last month, it’s was Noel’s turn to appear on stage to play 2 Cranberries songs “Zombie” and “Linger”.
Singer Emma Langford posted on Facebook a video of “Zombie” with the following comment:
It was *just a bit* nerve-wracking singing Zombie with its actual writer playing guitar right behind me…
Kind of incredible though?
Na… Totally. Totally incredible.Thanks – endless immeasurable thanks – to Karl Daly of Metis Ireland for making this gig happen; to Dolans Pub for hosting the occasion; to all the artists who gave their time and talents and to everyone who came out to support Pieta House and Limerick Suicide Watch; to Dan Murphy and Dermot Sheedy of Hermitage Green, Nile St. James and Cein Daly for sharing a stage with me; and Noel Hogan of The Cranberries for writing such an epic tune, giving his time, and allowing us to perform it on a great night full of great intentions for a great cause.
I love Limerick, and music.

“Zombie”
On the official Twitter of “Metis Ireland” you can also find a short video of “Linger” as well as a few photos of Noel (with a new haircut!) on stage and offstage drinking in the pub:

Incredible but true!

H-1 before the Irish TV premiere of the animated short film “Angela’s Christmas” featuring a brand new song recorded last month by Dolores O’Riordan as revealed on The Cranberries Twitter, Facebook and Instagram 2 days ago.
Facebook post
For those outside of Ireland, you can watch RTE One on FirstOneTV by clicking here, the link might work worldwide (no garantee!!). Let’s hope many of you will record and share for all those who can’t access/watch or just in case there’s no replay nor OST available afterwards.
See you after the broadcast later today/tonight for a brief recap!
UPDATE – 9:00 PM (UTC)
The film aired 10 minutes earlier than scheduled.
This is the story of a little girl named Angela who, on Xmas Eve 1914, “steals” Baby Jesus from the Nativity Scene in a cold church in Limerick because she thought he was cold and wanted to warm him home… and eventually bring him back.
Baby Jesus being stolen
Back to church
At home Angela sings a few lines of the song simply called “Angela’s Song”. Obviously this is Angela’s voice (Lucy O’Connell) singing these few lines, not Dolores’.
You can hear Dolores singing the (full?) song during the end credits. It’s approximately 1 minute long. It’s interesting to notice that Dolores only performed the song and did not write it as it’s written and produced by Darren Hendley.
irishsoul just shared it on Vimeo, many thanks to her.
Happy Christmas!
“Angela’s Song” performed by Dolores O’Riordan
Rest with me
We’ll be warm and free to dream
Of all the things yet to come
For you my little one
Lay with me
Let us sing a sweet melody
Of all the things yet to come
For you my little one
Look up high and see
All the stars above you and me
They shine a light on all the things to come
For you my little one
Earlier today or very late at night yesterday in the USA (if she’s still in NYC), Dolores posted a brand new message both on The Cranberries Facebook and Twitter:
Hi All, Dolores here. Feeling good! I did my first bit of gigging in months at the weekend, performed a few songs at the Billboard annual staff holiday party in New York with the house band. Really enjoyed it! Happy Christmas to all our fans!! Xo
December 18, 2017 | Comments Off on “Derry Girls” soundtrack featuring The Cranberries | by Axl | The Cranberries
The Cranberries among other artists filling the soundtrack of the new TV series “Derry Girls” on Channel 4 (UK) starting Thursday, January 4th.
Trailer below, “Dreams” inside:
“Derry Girls” – Trailer
An unreleased track by D.A.R.K. has been shared on Soundcloud 25 days ago under the username JETLAG.NYC along with a brand new photo of Dolores holding a guitar. Thanks to the Facebook page of Dolores O’Riordan Spain for finding this gem as it seems that D.A.R.K. posted it without saying.
https://soundcloud.com/jetlagnyc/track-47-illusion
The track is called “Track 47 Illusion”
Is this an old demo song not selected to appear on debut album “Science Agrees” or is it a brand new one from a recent work. No one has the answer for now but the second option might be very possible.
lyrics tentative:
4, 3, 2, 1
4, 3, 2, 1
This is a story of failure and glory
Based in town in the South in 1980
Where should I begin
Please come in
Where were you lately
He said with a smile
In a while
It’s an illusion
It’s all an illusion
This is my conclusion for now
uh, uh
I remember the crowd
They were loud and it was something
When you took control of my soul
Then it was nothing
It’s all an illusion
This is my confusion
It’s all an illusion
This is my confusion
(OK that’s the idea)
UPDATE 3:15 PM (UTC)
The track has just been removed!!
In the series guess the next color, the album “No Need To Argue” will be reissued on GREEN VINYL on 16 February 2018 still by the same label, Plain Recordings.
As you all remember, the label already reissued the album 4 times (180 grams, cranberry, plum and turquoise) these last 2 years.
This new reissue will be limited to 660 units (666 would have been a bit more rock n’ roll)
You can preorder right now by clicking this link, price is $29.98 including shipping for USA. Worldwide shipping available for a few extra dollars.

December 15, 2017 | Comments Off on “Linger” and “Zombie” performed at Billboard Party yesterday | by Axl | Dolores O'Riordan
As revealed earlier today Dolores performed at “Billboard Holiday Party” in New York City yesterday. Singer Emily Afton just shared on Instagram 4 photos and 2 small videos of the evening in one single post (swipe to see all pics and vids). 2 of them concerning Dolores.
“Linger” – a bit out of key as you can see on video below – and “Zombie” were performed for sure as well as a possible 3rd song but we don’t know which one yet.
Brb jumping back in time to tell my 16-year old self what I did last night… We played the @billboard holiday party and I got to sing with Mark McGrath (Sugar Ray), Chris Baron (the Spin Doctors), Dolores O’Riordan (the f$*%ing CRANBERRIES), Matt Scannell (Vertical Horizon), and Sophie B. Hawkins. IT WAS SO COOL (just realized the sugar ray song is in there twice but I can’t delete it so YOLO)
“Linger” – December 14, 2017 – NYC
UPDATE: After Dolores’ passing, billboard.com published a short “In Memoriam” video with images recorded from the audience at their Billboard Holiday Party.
The wait wasn’t so long, Dolores’ original song for “Angela’s Christmas” is out today and a glimpse have just been published on Facebook and YouTube
Now guess the song title…

December 15, 2017 | Comments Off on Seems like Dolores performed at some Billboard Xmas party last night | by Axl | Dolores O'Riordan
Big news!
According to Mark McGrath’s tweet it seems like Dolores O’Riordan performed/appeared at some Billboard Xmas party last night in New York City. Hope we’ll have more information soon.
How great!
Eminem released today a new album called “Revival” which includes a track called “In Your Head”. Yes it is about “Zombie”. Not really a cover but a (rap) song that samples Zombie’s chorus and guitar.
Usually we never talk about cover songs/bands but as Eminem is quite famous and as The Cranberries even shared the news on their socials, this one is an exception.
Well… to be honest we should make no exception and no difference between famous and anonymous people but that’s the way it is. At least the man allows The Cranberries to be recalled to a larger and different audience and that’s always a good thing.
Talking about the song well… no comment!

Not the best photo to clearly see it but more should appear pretty soon as first customers are receiving their order these days.

UPDATE – NOVEMBER 21
2 more photos this time on eBay, sealed with sticker, front & back covers:
Sealed front cover with sticker
Sealed back cover
Another 2 rarely seen photos on socials.
First one, probably from a meet and greet in 2002, was published today on Instagram by user n.i.c.k_1979 with the hashtag #momentofalifetime
Second photo was published on November 26, 2012 on Johnny’s Kitchen Facebook. Johnny’s Kitchen is an Irish Pub located in Lyon, France. The Cranberries were playing in Lyon on November 20th so the photo was then published a few days after, when the band was not in the city anymore.
Delores from The Cranberries in for a cup of tea and a chat!
Note: English natives will definitely never know how to write Dolores correctly!
Title says it all.
After his new “anatomical heart with dagger“ tattoo just a couple of weeks ago, Noel Hogan got another new tattoo the day before yesterday this time at “Allstar Ink Tattoo” shop located in Limerick, Ireland
The below photo was posted yesterday on Instagram by allstartattoo_ireland with the following comment “One from yesterday from our pal paul.o.rourke!“
Noel then let a comment on Paul O’Rourke’s Instagram: “Thanks Paul. Delighted with the result“
Some of you might remember that Noel already got tattooed by “Allstar Ink Tattoo” before.
Two photos appeared these last 24 hours on Instagram. Both posted by Joseph Agrimando who seems to be working as a top colorist hairdresser at Sassoon Salon in New York City.
Sassoon Salon – 32 west 18 street, NYC
The first photo was posted yesterday without explanation but clearly is an old one probably from late 2014 judging by the look of Dolores similar to the one on the photo posted on Dolores’ Facebook on October 17, 2014. Also there’s no “Terry” tattoo on her arm.
Today the guy posted a second photo which is a bit more intriguing and more difficult to comment. And still no explanation/comment with it. Is it just another photo taken the same day or same period or a more recent one, that is the question.
Maybe one can imagine the first photo taken in a club somewhere and the second one in a taxi going to or back from the club that same day/night.
Sad news announced by the Limerick Leader today.
Myles Lawler, the father of Fergal, passed away at Milford Hospice following a brief illness.

He will repose at McMahon’s Funeral Home in Blackwater this Thursday evening between 6pm and 8pm. His remains will arrive at Parteen Church on Friday morning for Requiem Mass at 12 noon. Burial will take place immediately afterwards in Mount St. Lawrence (Extension) Cemetery Limerick.
Our sincere condolences to Fergal and his family.

More details about the Chinese show “Xiaoshuo” with Gao Xiaosong. First the show is broadcast on the internet exclusively not on Chinese TV. This is an important detail, however it is followed by more than 2 million people.
As reported previously the team of the show went to Ireland and among many other things met Dolores and Noel in Limerick. We now have the exact date, September 3, 2017 and some behind the scenes photos.
Thanks to Alex Verveboy on Facebook group “Doors and windows – FANS – THE CRANBERRIES“.

An article entitled “Chinese tourists drawn to Ireland … by whiskey, hurling and The Cranberries” published today by sino.co.uk reveals that the host of “Youku TV show Morning Call” (晓说 ‘Xiao shuo’ in Chinese), Gao Xiaosong, went to Ireland last month and had the opportunity to meet Dolores and Noel in Limerick. The article includes a photo of the interview, so this is the most recent image of Dolores to this day.
sino.co.uk
Click here to watch the video. Dolores and Noel mostly appear in the last 4 minutes of the report. Unfortunately it is impossible to clearly hear what they say as the host speaks Chinese all the time. There’s also live footage of The Cranberries but nothing really new, images come from the show at Festi’neuch in Neuchâtel, Switzerland in 2016.
Thanks to Dolores O’Riordan Spain on Facebook for the link.
Noel and Dolores with Chinese TV host Gao Xiaosong
It seems that a large campaign started these days in China (well, at least on the “Morning Call” show) to promote Ireland as a must-see tourist destination. Last week The Irish Times already revealed most of the info in an article entitled “Pubs, hurling and the Cranberries used to lure Chinese here“.

Noel Hogan’s got a new tattoo… again!
The info comes from “Soul Addiction Tattoo Studio” located in Limerick, Ireland.
