Irish folk singer Dolores Keane dies aged 72
The popular musician died peacefully in her sleep at her home in Caherlistrane, Co Galway overnight.
A member of the renowned Keane family, she first came to prominence performing with her aunts Rita and Sarah.
She performed with De Dannan in the mid-1970s and recorded several albums with then husband John Faulkner, before embarking on a solo career.
She enjoyed national and international success.
Her 1988 recording of Dougie MacLean's Caledonia was among her most well-known recordings, but her repertoire spanned the decades, leading the late Nanci Griffith to describe her as someone who had "a sacred voice".
