The legendary singer would have turned 50 this year.

Limerick and Clare Youth Project are putting on a tribute for Dolores O'Riordan called "Young Dreams", which will feature a series of music workshops for children and a showcase for young artists aged 18-25.

Taking place on what would have been The Cranberries frontwoman's 50th birthday, the event will celebrate her legacy in her hometown of Bruff, Co. Limerick.

A new recording of the childrens' music from the workshops will also be live-streamed on the day. Young singer/songwriters looking to take part can contact Monica Spencer on her email of [email protected].
