Jimmy Crowley go fund me

Dear people of the Beautiful City and beyond,
This is Jimmy Crowley, the singer from Cork. I'm having to call upon your kindness as a last resort. I've been rather under the weather of late. In late September 2025 I was diagnosed with Stage Three oesophageal cancer. Three months later, on 27th December, I had a debilitating stroke. I've been in the Stroke Ward in Cork University Hospital for nearly five months now. I had a good many setbacks and complications during that time, including several falls which resulted in a hip replacement and then periprosthetic surgery on the same hip. I am now mostly wheelchair-bound, but have not given up on learning to walk.

Before the cancer diagnosis and stroke, I was a full-time musician, cyclist, all-year-round sea-swimmer, and walker. Now all I want is to be able to return home to Cobh, to my pussycat Smudge and my sweetheart Eve. I'm soon to be discharged from CUH, and the choice is stark: home or nursing home. Unfortunately the only way I can return home is if I have two carers living with me 24/ 7. My partner Eve will be a full-time carer, but I need a second carer. I kindly request any donations, large or small, to help me afford a second live-in carer so I can finally return to Cobh and live at home, rather than in a nursing home, for the time I have left. Your donations will also help with the rising costs of suddenly having to live with not one but two dramatic, life-changing health conditions.

Beannacht, Jimmy C x

Very sad news, Dolores Keane died today.
She was a true legend with a unique Irish voice.
Dolores appeared at the Cork Folk Festival six times, in 1980, 1981, 1986, 1992 with John Faulkner, in 1985 with De Dannan and Mary Black and in 2022 with Frankie Gavin.

Dolores was born in a small village called Sylane near Tuam in County Galway. From the age of four she was raised by her aunts Rita and Sarah Keane, also well-known sean- nós singers. Keane started her singing at a very young age, due to the influence of her musical aunts

In 1975, she co-founded De Dannan and they released their debut album Dé Danann in that same year. The group gained international recognition and enjoyed major success in the late 1970s in the US. Keane went touring with the band and their single "The Rambling Irishman" was a big hit in Ireland. In 1976 she married multi-instrumentalist John Faulkner, with whom she would subsequently record three albums of folk music.
