Damien Dempsey is featured in the “The Ticket”, the Irish Times Weekly Guide to Entertainment, on last Friday 25th February: -Dempsey may be an Irish singer-songwriter, but he observes and comments on contemporary issues his peers never choose to see or acknowledge. His songs are about life rather than lifestyle, fiery urban folk music for and about folk who never make the headlines. Last October, Dempsey walked out on the stage of Radio City Music Hall in New York. Just him and his songs. Six thousand people sitting down in front of him waiting for Morrissey. The ghosts of Nina Simone and Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra shuffling around backstage. "I had a few sleepless nights before that one, alright. But I walked out on my own with a guitar and slayed them." He likes those big old halls where there's history in the stalls. "Big stages suit my voice. I can really throw my voice out there and hold notes for 30 or 40 seconds. If I can do that on my own, I can do anything." Full interview link.
