In August 1995, Keane was awarded the prestigious "Fiddler's Green Hall of Fame" award in Rostrevor, County Down, for her ""significant contribution to the cause of Irish music and culture"". In that same year, she took to the stage in the Dublin production of JM Synge's "Playboy of the Western World". Dolores contributed to the RTÉ/BBC television production "Bringing It All Back Home", a series of programmes illustrating the movement of Irish music to America. Dolores was shown performing both in Nashville, Tennessee with musicians such as Emmylou Harris and Richard Thompson and at home in Galway with her aunts Rita and Sarah.
