She had her back to the audience the whole time because she was very kind of shy and very frightened of the whole thing. And Dolores never once looked at the audience. And by tonight they were called the Cranberries. One of the bands we had on was a band who had changed their name - They had been called The Cranberry Saw Us, which is a terrible name for a band. The radio station I worked for put on a series of gigs around the country. I first met Dolores in I think it was 19. And the voice is one thing that seemed to connect with so many people. I think a lot of people maybe felt they were a little bit like her. She’s so innocent, And so naive, and so unworldly and was suddenly playing concerts to 17,000 and 18,000 people. She lived in Limerick, had never been outside of Limerick and didn’t know anything of the world. There was something about Dolores and her innocence. The Cranberries wouldn’t have become famous if it wasn’t for Dolores, there’s no question about it. Transcript How Dolores O’Riordan Propelled the Cranberries Dave Fanning, an Irish music journalist and one of the first to discover the Cranberries, talks about how Dolores O'Riordan found a place between grunge and Brit pop that catapulted the band to international stardom.
