REMEMBERING DOLORES: Hot Press is travelling to Limerick for tomorrow's UL Cranberries conferral...

This is our man Stuart Clark modelling one of the seven signed Cranberries covers, which featured in Hot Press' 40th anniversary exhibition in Temple Bar's National Photographic Archive.
Our week of Dolores memories comes to a climax tomorrow when we'll bring you coverage of the Cranberries receiving their honorary degrees at UL where the band played two legendary early gigs in the Stables student bar.
Dolores' certificate and the gowns she would have worn will be presented to her mother, Eileen. We're also looking forward to our catch-up with Noel, Mike and Ferg who'll be getting all suited and booted for the afternoon.
Tomorrow morning, Stuart will be touring such Cranberries landmarks as Savin's where Mr. and Mrs. Hogan bought Noel and Mike their first guitars; the Theatre Royal, which hosted their equally legendary Christmas 1993 homecoming gig; the gated entrance to Xeric Studios where they recorded their first demos; Dolores' old school, Laurel Hill; and other Cranberries landmarks. Keep an eye on our Twitter and Instagram for the pictorial proof of Mr. C getting out and about rather than going to meet his old Limerick pals in the White House...
