Joe Dolan | Joe Dolan is one of the most popular comtemporary musicians in Ireland. Amazing how the "old" man of pop - and rockmusic still fascinates his (mostly female) audience. He seems never to get tired of music and the stage. Same with the fans, some don´t miss a single show since years. I don't know how he did it, as I never was a fan of this kind of music, but he had me dancing on the chair.
