Description

HERE in part two of The Joe Dolan Story, his brother Ben takes us inside their life on the road and the early days of ‘Driftermania’.

He tells how Joe became an international star after performing on BBC’s iconic Top Of The Pops with his first major hit, Make Me An Island.

This would lead to tours of South Africa, Israel, Russia and all over Europe. Ben takes us to Las Vegas where Joe tried his luck in the gambling capital of the world. He also reveals how Joe was attacked in Liverpool in the early days and suffered a horrific beating.

And Ben recalls his brother’s final days and the heartbreaking events of St Stephen’s Day 2007 when Ireland lost one of its greatest and much-loved entertainers.
