Just three days ago there came the news through Noel Hogan himself: He and Dolores O’Riordan had received an invitation to attend BMI Music Awards, held at the Dorchester Hotel in London, on October 10^th, 2016.

The BMI London Awards recognizes the U.K. and European songwriters and publishers of 2015’s most-performed songs on radio and TV in the United States. Noel Hogan has received a Special Citation of Achievement in recognition for the over 3 million broadcast performances attained by Dreams.

As we all know, “Dreams” was the first single from the debut album by The Cranberries Everybody else is doing it, so why can’t we? Written by Dolores O’Riordan, it was the first hit of four young The Cranberries with their heads full of dreams and illusions, who had just started to make their way in the music world. Youth, divine treasure! Little could they imagine that one day this song would become one of his greatest hits, crowning them forever as worldwide acclaimed musicians. Currently, Dreams is chosen as the closing song at their concerts.  Already in the early morning Noel did not want to lose the opportunity to share a photo of the award with his followers in his social networks. To all of us, their fans, we are immensely proud to see that The Cranberries get the recognition they so richly deserve, for a brilliant career full of success and, more important, full of effort, work, sacrifice, sleepless nights and a huge will to improve themselves. Because they already told us in their presentation: “everybody else was doing it, so why couldn’t they?Dear Noel, we wish you enjoyed the Awards gala, and from this website we want to give our most sincere congratulations; to you, Dolores O’Riordan, Mike Hogan and Fergal to Lawler: Thank you all for being the best example of how much it is worth fighting for one’s dreams.
