Dolores Keane

Dolores Keane is an Irish folk singer and occasional actress. She was a founding member of the successful group De Dannan, and has since embarked on a very successful solo career, establishing herself as one of the most loved interpreters of Irish song.

Keane was born in a small village called Sylane in rural County Galway in the west of Ireland. She was raised by her aunts Rita and Sarah Keane since the age of four, who are also wellknown seanns singers. Keane started her singing at a very young age, due to the influence of her musical aunts. She made her first recording for Radio ireann in 1958, at the age of five. This early start inevitably meant that Keane would have a career in music. Her brother, Sen, also went on to enjoy a successful music career.
