Damien Dempsey (born 1975 in Donaghmede, Dublin) is an Irish singer and songwriter who mixes traditional Irish folk with contemporary lyrics to deliver social commentary on the positive and negative aspects arising from Ireland's Celtic Tiger society. He sings in English, and to a lesser extent in Irish.
Dempsey's earliest musical influences were the post-pub singsongs that his parents used to have at their home when he was a toddler. Good, bad or indifferent, everyone had to sing.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
As with most Damo songs all are played in drop D tuning, I mean, instead of EADGBE it's There's only a couple played in a different tuning like Bottle Talk, Hold Me and Cursed A Brain. Anyway, this is probably my favourite Damo song to play - its class, all the with it.
