📞 Dolly calls into Irish radio station, RTE 📻

Hi Everyone,

I just listened to this fantastic interview with Dolly phoning in to LiveLine show on Irish radio station, RTE.  I think it is worth sharing with any Dolly fan.  Lots of topics discussed, like Dolly Day in Ireland, Dolly's visit to Ireland in 1990, Imagination Library, her new book My Life in Seams, Rockstar album, Sinead O'Connor's recent passing and connection to Dolly...and much more.

I was really taken back to junior high school when I would listen to Rock Line on Monday nights.... awe.

Listen to the 22-minute interview HERE, on RTE.

Country music legend Dolly Parton made a surprise appearance on RTÉ Radio 1's Liveline programme this afternoon, speaking to stand-in presenter Katie Hannon about a variety of topics, including her famous appearance in Páidí Ó Sé's pub in 1990 and "feeling connected" to the late Sinéad O'Connor.

Hannon opened the show saying, "We have a very special show for you today - a real treat. You have to prepare for everything - you never know who you're going to hear on the Liveline but to be honest with you, never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I'd ever get to say: good afternoon, Dolly Parton!"

The singer, who spoke to the programme via video call, responded, "Good afternoon to you. I've got a lot of things to talk about, and I guess we can just catch up on several things and people we know."

Hannon opened the conversation by asking Parton if she had heard about "Dollyday", the biggest gathering of people dressed up as Parton, which was a Guinness World Record attempt. The event happened in Kerry this summer and Hannon's cousin helped to organise it, with Parton saying she had heard about it and "even saw some of the pictures."
