Home from Dungloe

Dolores Keane concert

This weekend will see me return to Dungloe Co Donegal for the first time since I was there at the tender age of 16 on an ‘inter-rail tour’ with a friend; inter-rail? in Dungloe? needless to say we were mostly hitch-hiking around the West of Ireland. Teenage sense!
Well, I am very much looking forward to joining Dolores Keane and her Band this Saturday in Dungloe at The Waterfront Hotel. One of my all-time musical heroines; and it evokes memories of being in Sarah and Rita Keane’s cottage years ago; such a musical legacy; treasured memories!
