One of our readers, Meggie T, sent us a few photos taken yesterday at GRAMMY Museum. She had the opportunity to meet Olé Koretsky and Dan Brodbeck who were kind enough to take photos and talk with the fans after the show. Thank you very much Meggie!
The Cranberries and Olé Koretsky were at GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles for an intimate discussion moderated by Scott Goldman. The video was broadcast live on Facebook by Billboard and the replay is now available:

For those living in Ireland exclusively, you still have 8 days on the RTÉ Player to watch the replay of “The Making Of Angela’s Christmas” that was broadcast on RTÉ 2 on Friday 27 December 2019.
The 26 min. documentary includes a part dedicated to the recording of the song “Angela’s Christmas” and there is even an interview with Olé Koretsky recorded after Dolores’s passing.
For those who are not in Ireland these days the link won’t work and will return an error message:
…so your only way to watch it is to grab the official “Angela’s Christmas” DVD released last November in the US where the documentary is part of the special features (DVD Bonus).
Some more information about the “Something Else” vinyl that was supposed to be reissued on 22 November 2019 and which was delayed to 29 November 2019, then to 29 May 2020, then to further announcement.
For now information is still very confusing as some stores are announcing a new release date on the 31 of January 2020 (like Amazon USA) when some others are still announcing the double vinyl to be released in May. Even Amazon is not saying the same depending on your country!
More importantly, the new release would in fact be a purple vinyl edition! Some record stores already received their copies and put them on sale straight away (like spellboundrecords in New Zealand) and now the very first images have started to surface as you can see below:
So check directly with your record store(s) as no one is saying the same at the moment, whether it is about the release date, the color, or the price…

Following many complaints regarding the expensive shipping costs for non-US residents of the CalenDolores 2020 available from Etsy (and where you couldn’t even combine shipping when ordering 2 copies or more) theHand made a second version of his calendar available from Lulu where shipping costs are more reasonable.
Pay attention, this is really a second version of the calendar and not the same as Etsy shipped from another seller. There are several differences such as format, materials and number of pages. The price of the calendar is a little more expensive compared to the Etsy version, but if you add shipping it makes a big difference (again for those living outside the US) and combining is possible!
COUPON CODE: ONESHIP (free or reduced shipping costs until December 19th)
NEW COUPON CODE: LULU15 (save 15% on calendar until January 2nd)
NEW COUPON CODE: ONEFIVE (save 15% on calendar until January 2nd – UK & Ireland only)

Yesterday, Councillor Michael Sheahan Mayor of the City and County of Limerick, along with Limerick Culture and Arts Office, Limerick City and County Council, made presentations to the recipients of a number of recently awarded bursaries. Among them, Emma Langford received the Dolores O’Riordan Music Bursary Award 2019 in the presence of members of Dolores’ family (Dolores’ mother Eileen, Dolores’ brother PJ and his wife).
Photos of the presentations were posted today on the Facebook account of the Limerick Arts Department:
To mark the occasion, Emma invited musicians and Limerick artists touched by Dolores’ legacy to join her after the ceremony for a photo at the new Dolores mural. She posted 2 pics later on the evening on her socials (Twitter, Facebook):
The €4,000 bursary will provide funding to cover ongoing production for Emma’s second album, and contribute to the costs of a music video for her recently released single, “The Winding Way Down to Kells Bay”. Congrats Emma!
