About the artist

Dolores Keane (26 September 1953 – 16 March 2026) was an Irish folk singer and founding member of the group De Dannan. She subsequently pursued a solo recording and touring career. Keane was born in the village of Sylane, near Tuam, in County Galway, Ireland. From the age of four, she was raised by her aunts Rita and Sarah Keane, who were known sean-nós singers. Influenced by them, Keane began singing at an early age and made her first recording for Radio Éireann in 1958, at the age of five.
