About the Beautiful Day
On Easter Sunday 1995, The Cranberries chartered a private, 52-foot deep-sea fishing vessel named The Miss Pass-A-Grille out of St. Petersburg Beach, Florida. As the afternoon sun shined down, Captain Dolores O’Riordan piloted her band members safely back to home port with her first mate by her side, her beautiful smile beamed across the Bay. The following day The Cranberries performed to a sold-out crowd at The Tampa Performing Arts Center on their No Need to Argue Tour.
Bless her and the world wide fans and family that loved her so dearly. She will never be forgotten.
