Damien Dempsey
*NB: Show will start at 8pm sharp- No Support Act*
Born in Donaghmede on Dublin’s Northside in 1975, Damien Dempsey is the voice of that underclass and the quintessential Irish singer songwriter.
Described as ‘the Bob Marley of Ireland’ (The Times), Dempsey was influenced by Christy Moore, Luke Kelly, Shane MacGowan, Bob Marley and Elvis Presley. When he graduated from music school at Ballyfermot College of Further Education in 1995 the college released his debut EP, The Contender, on their own imprint. In 1997 he released a single “Dublin Town” on the tiny Treasure Island Discs and Damien Dempsey’s success grew steadily from here.
Having won six Meteor Awards to date, Damien Dempsey’s live performances are something special indeed. He has become the most vibrant and vital Irish live performer working today. Having played with Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, U2 and The Pogues, Dempsey’s stage craft and voice is so powerful that it prompted Bono to say “when he opens his mouth - it's like the end of the world."
