The Aftermath remember Joe Dolan

Drumlish brothers band The Aftermath has teamed up with Hollywood actor Patrick Bergin to record a tribute to legendary Midlands singer Joe Dolan.

The tribute is set for release as a free download from today, to mark the second Joe Dolan festival in Mullingar over the bank holiday weekend.

Bergin was the man behind the choice of the track, 'The Answer To Everything', which was a favourite of the late Joe. "Joe was always one of my favorite singers when I was younger," the actor said. "And 'The Answer To Everything' always meant alot to me as it does to allot of people."

Mick Cronin from The Aftermath explained that Joe was "an absolute gent" when he and Johnny moved to Mullingar. "He gave us our first TV exposure on Nationwide and was always great with advice, so it was a real pleasure to record this tribute to him with Patrick."

'The Answer to Everything' by Patrick Bergin & The Aftermath is available here
