We are pleased to this week be providing audio for Ireland’s Damien Dempsey as he visits
Warrington’s Parr Hall and thrilled to be working again with international concert promotors SJM.
Damien shot to fame in 1997 when his first single Dublin Town caught the attention of Sinead
O’Connor, who he later collaborated and toured with. Dempsey’s original folk flavour has seen
him win many awards such as Best Folk/Traditional Act and Best Irish Country/Roots Artist.
The singer recently released his seventh studio album “Soulsun” which features guest vocals from
Dido and fellow Dubliner Imelda May.
After a career of over seventeen years, Damien is set to bring a new spin to some Irish classics
as he tours his show “The great Irish song book.”
This new tour will see Dempsey perform well loved songs from The Pogues and The Dubliners
next March. Dempsey is no stranger to covers, having released covers only album The Rocky
Road in 2008, which includes a version of The Pogues A Rainy Night in Soho alongside other
well-known ballads.
We are excited to be working with Damien, SJM and our friends at The Parr Hall on what
promises to be a great evening
