November 3, 2024 | Comments Off on 2 more Cranberries T-Shirts in Hot Topic stores | by Axl | The Cranberries

As reported in several Irish media today, Kellie Lewis – who was mentored by Dolores on The Voice of Ireland 2014 – released a new single called “102” to pay homage to Dolores and her “magic here on earth” as she explained to Hot Press
“She believed in me and I miss her everyday. I’ve tried to write many songs in honour of Dolores but it took some time to compose the perfect tribute. I feel grateful that I ever had the chance to experience Dolores’ magic here on earth.
She was incredibly kind and funny and talented beyond belief. A true rock star, I was honoured to ever share space with her. Everything I feel is in 102; it spilled out of my heart and into this song. Writing it was healing, making it was healing, listening to it was healing.”
The lyrics and orchestration of the song are likely to convey powerful and raw emotions for fans among us who share Kellie’s sense of loss, as this sumptuous “ode to Dolores” embodies the impact she had on the lives of those who either simply listened to her, or those who were blessed to know her.
The Dolores O’Riordan Estate posted the below message on Facebook
I Love Limerick describes the track as “not just a tribute – it’s a reflection of admiration, inspiration, and the lasting impact of an unforgettable friendship.“
Most striking review comes from Éire Look on Instagram
“102” is available on streaming platforms and YouTube (audio)
“Life Of The Record” interviewed Fergal Lawler and Stephen Street for the 30th anniversary of “No Need To Argue”. Listen to the audio and/or read notes and transcript.
The album was released on 3 October 1994.
Below an original advert published in the UK newspaper “NME” in October 1994.
Message posted on The Cranberries socials (Facebook, TwitterX, Instagram).
And for the occasion, you have 30% off the Zombie collection during the next 4 days at the band’s official store.
Single was released on 19 September 1994.

The same Cranberries H&M T-Shirt for women is now available for men from the US fast fashion store GAP, online on gap.com and possibly instore (?)
Unlike the H&M shirt, this one has no copyright vertically written beside the band photo nor inside close to the tag (or simply not visible on their pics), but quite for sure this is an official tee… well (?)
Unfortunately gap.com based in the US doesn’t ship outside the country. So select one of their 21 international websites and check if the shirt is available there or instore… chances are low!
User ScottishTeeVee shared on YouTube yesterday a rarely before seen video of The Cranberries performing “Just My Imagination” at the “TMF Awards” in Belgium in 1999.
As always with this user on each of his videos, too many tags pooring the screen everywhere, all the time… many thanks for sharing this gem anyway!

September 6, 2024 | Comments Off on The Cranberries for Dolores’ 53rd birthday | by Axl | The Cranberries
Dolores O’Riordan would have turned 53 today.
Happy Heavenly Birthday!
The Cranberries have announced on their socials (Facebook, TwitterX, Instagram) the release of a Sped-Up version of “Linger” on all streaming platforms. A simple search on these platforms with the words Cranberries + Sped Up…. and 4 more songs, all available now and not yet announced by the band, are revealed: Dreams, Zombie, Sunday, Ode To My Family.
For your information, many songs by many different artists already received the sped-up treatment on social media like TikTok these days, so like it or not (judging by all the negative comments everywhere) the band and the record company just followed the trend to remain in touch with the younger generations.
Title says it all… time flies!
The American fast fashion company “Urban Outfitters” is selling 5 Cranberries t-shirts instore and online with international delivery available to 70+ countries. 3 for the US market and 2 for the UK/Europe market.
Just like the other fast fashion stores selling Cranberries tees, theirs are all for women and under license to Nylon Merchandising LTD as well… it seems the UK (London based) merchandising company has licensed a lot of Cranberries tees this year (and counting?)

August 8, 2024 | Comments Off on New mural featuring Dolores O’Riordan in Durrow (Ireland) | by Axl | Dolores O'Riordan, The Cranberries
“Bob’s Bar” in Durrow, Ireland, has a brand new mural / stage background featuring Dolores O’Riordan among 9 Irish artists. Paul Murphy, the artist and hand painter, shared a photo on Instagram yesterday.
The Canadian clothing store Sirens/Urban Planet is selling a Cranberries t-shirt as well… unfortunately for Canadian residents only! It’s unclear whether you can buy it online only or in-store as well.
The Cranberries are part of the “Graphic Boyfriend T-Shirt” collection with the artwork/cover of “Zombie” and featuring among bands like Blondie, The Beatles, Metallica, Sex Pistols, Bon Jovi, The Rolling Stones… to name just a few. The collection is for women and pretty much in the same style of the H&M one. One-side print and notice the tag with the band logo!
Unlike H&M, their Cranberries tee has no copyright (just like most of their band shirts by the way), so we are not too sure this one is 100% official and under license. However, let’s note that the fashion brand is now quite big in Canada with 100+ shops across the country, hence we can’t imagine this t-shirt being a counterfeit one!
Color: White
Size: S to XL
Price: $16.00 (2 for $25)
Special thanks to cranfandy for the info and the last photo.
H&M recently dropped a Cranberries T-Shirt in the “Women’s Graphic & Printed T-Shirts” section. Under license to Nylon Merchandising LTD and one-side print only.
The Cranberries are part of the “Oversized Printed T-Shirt” collection among bands like Joy Division, Deftones, Nine Inch Nails, Sex Pistols, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, Nirvana to name just a few…
Available both online and in-stores, “Light Beige” color only from XXS to XXXXL.
Price: +/- $15.00 / €15.00

July 7, 2024 | Comments Off on Rebroadcast: “Salvation” on Top Of The Pops in 1996 | by Axl | The Cranberries
The BBC 4 is still repeating original Top Of The Pops programmes. After Linger, Dreams and Zombie last year, the episode with “Salvation” first broadcast on 18 April 1996 aired 2 weeks ago.
For UK residents the episode is available another 2 weeks on the BBC iPlayer up to 1080p50. For the rest of the world the performance was shared on YouTube by user TopOfThePopsFan. A great upgrade for many fans!
Scottish musician Iain Cook, composer, producer, and member of the pop band Chvrches made a remix of “Linger” by deconstructing the original and reassembling it, keeping intact the vocal melody of Dolores.
Officially approved by The Cranberries, Fergal said in a statement posted on the band’s socials (TwitterX, Instagram), “Iain did an outstanding job in remixing Linger. He reimagined the song completely, creating a fresh and upbeat version of this classic”
The remix was released last week on all streaming platforms and YouTube
Well… this may not be the most important news ever for all the Cranberries fans -we are aware of that- but at least we can enjoy a recent photo of our dear Fergal smiling with his new pedals!
For more details, read the post shared yesterday on Instagram by Cranberries fan Tomasz Knapik who built the pedals.

Read the article on udiscovermusic.com and listen to the podcast/interview with Fergal on Spotify here or here; also available on Apple Podcasts.
Photographer Markus Möllenberg shared 2 awesome and never before seen Dolores O’Riordan portraits on Instagram a couple of days ago.
Markus told us they were shot on 26 September 2001 in a hotel room in Köln for German magazine “Maxim”
Special thanks to him!
Last year, the Irish classical music radio station RTÉ lyric fm based in Limerick asked Fergal to compose a short piece to celebrate the station’s 25th anniversary in 2024. After hesitation and fear of not being able to do it, Fergal said yes… and soon after his very first piece for full orchestra “The Curragower Falls” was born (Fergal finished in late 2023).
Note: Curragower Falls is found in the heart of Limerick city under the shadow of King John’s castle. The falls are formed when the river Shannon drops over a rock ledge at the right tide. When the river is high the volume of water and the combination of low tide turn the falls into a freestyle playground. The waves are usually surfable 2 hours before low tide.
According to Fergal’s recent interview published on RTÉ Guide this week, the piece reflects on memories of childhood by the River Shannon, celebrates a city (Limerick) and memories of loved ones, including his father the late Myles Lawler who was a massive fan of classical and opera music, his mother Audrey who passed away at the end of January this year and the late Dolores O’Riordan…
“The Curragower Falls” will be performed on 1 May 2024 at the University Concert Hall in Limerick as part of the radio’s 25th birthday concert. Fergal won’t be performing that day, he was asked to but declined the invitation, hence he can relax, enjoy the show, and hear the piece for the very first time in concert from the audience!
It’s unclear whether the concert will be live or later broadcast on the radio; possibly live as there’s a mention “Listen, Lyric fm, Wednesday” on the top of the page of the RTÉ Guide interview.
EDIT (1st May): The concert is live broadcast tonight (Wednesday) from 7:30pm to 9pm. Listen here.
If you’d like to be part of the audience, more details, tickets, and performing artists on uch.ie
Special thanks to daffodillament1995 for the RTÉ Guide.
UPDATE – 2 MAY
Fergal yesterday at the 25th anniversary concert with Scarlett Griffin O’Sullivan (a musician? or someone from the audience?). Special thanks to her for the pics shared on Instagram
