Butter, crisps and Cidona aside, one of our most well-loved musical shipments The Cranberries returns in 2017 refreshed, revitalised and bursting with new tunes.
The Palladium is the perfect dress for the Irish band’s latest show, misleadingly marketed as acoustic with a string quartet – yes there was the string quartet, no it wasn’t acoustic.
The diminutive singer, whose hair has been cropped short and dyed from its native auburn a shocking ash blonde, is not referring to the fairly respectable starting time of 9pm on a Tuesday.
Thankfully, 2012’s “Roses” (Cooking Vinyl) follows right in step with 2001’s “Wake Up and Smell the Coffee,” but there’s also a newfound maturity that trails the Irish outfit’s sometimes sweet and often times sassy musical journey.
Still sounding and looking – give or take a few beards – much as they did during their 1990s reign as one of Ireland's biggest groups they were greeted by a full and adoring Albert Hall at their only British show.
So it’s no surprise that the seeds for their reunion tour were planted last January when singer Dolores O’Riordan received an honorary doctorate from Trinity College in Dublin.
