Dove are, (L->R) Donald Ade, Hazel Kaneswaren, and Graham Cruz, and 
      prepare for them to take over the charts!!!!



Their new single is called "Don't Dream", and it should hit the shops
 sometime in late August. This song is a cover of the Crowded House 
classic "Don't Dream Its over" , but be not illusioned that this is 
the first single from Dove!!
They go back a long way in the Irish Pop Scene!!!

It all started back in 1997 when Graham Cruz, a dance cheoreographer
 in Digges Lane, who had brought Pop stars from Nobodies to Top Of the
 Pops, decided to get a band together. He knew of Hazel, and Lorna 
(who has since left the band) and together they found Don---on the 
street!! No, don't worry, its not as bad as that sounds!! Lorna met
 him one day on the Street, and she knew him from before, and got 
talking about Dove. Don decided to have a look in, and became the 

final member of the band!!


In the beginning, Dove were known as " Dubh" which sounds the same but
 is the Irish For  Black. As they were all Black, and Irish, it made
 perfect sense as a band name. But as  things went further along, it
 was realised that not everyone could pronounce DUBH, and the band 
name was changed to the more user friendly " DOVE".


The Summer of  '97 saw Dove release their first single  --" Just An
 Illusion" which did very well in the Irish Charts. To co-incide with 
this, Dove toured Ireland with the 2fm Beat On the Street.
(An interview from one of these concerts can be found on this page)


This single was  followed by "Night To Remember", which rocketed into 
the Irish Top 30. Around the same time, Dove played a HUGE part in the
 Olympia Theatre's pantomime, " ROCKINSON CRUSOE". This, along with 
  the self penned  third single from Dove " Blow Your Mind" really 
made people sit up and take notice. This single made it to the Top 20,
 and Dove were slowly but surely becoming a household name.


March 1999 saw the release of " Don't Dream" and this was the ONE that
 made it for Dove. " Don't Dream"  made it to the Top 10, and stayed 
there for a few weeks. 

Many negotiations and meetings later, it was revealed in June that 
Dove had secured a record deal with Ztt records in the Uk. This meant
 that Hazel could finally give up her job in Thermo King as a 
"temperature controller" (fridge maker!!!!!).  Around the same time,
 they  performed to a crowd of 40,000 in the Rds as support to 
Boyzone, and this gained them more fans!!!!


Keep your eyes and ears out  for Dove --as they will be in a place 
near you SOON!!!! (and if they are, go down and see them--they are
 three of the Lovliest people you could ever meet!!!)
