Huge demand for Joe Dolan tribute weekend

There was no show like a Joe Show and now the magic of Ireland`s best-loved and greatest entertainer is set to live on in a special weekend event created by his own family and long-time friend and promoter James Cafferty.

Joe Dolan- the Reunion Show, will once again bring his thousands of fans together from all over the world to Killarney, County Kerry on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of July 11,12 13.

Also, Ben will narrate the life story of his younger brother Joe, with whom he`d shared a stage for 47 fun-filled and much–travelled years. It is set to be a poignant, inspiring and uplifting event that will honour the life and success-laden times of the Mullingar international superstar.

The Reunion show which has been put together by a team of professionals and producers is in direct response to calls from his legion of fans, all of whom were devastated by his early and sudden passing.

Over the years, a Joe show had become a mecca for friendship-renewals and family gatherings with three generations of families a familiar sight.

Set in the beautiful surroundings of the world-renowned Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney - a venue that Joe played numerous times to thousands of fans - this eagerly anticipated event has captured the imagination of the general public who can savour participation in five decades of “endless magic” rolled into one spectacular weekend party.
