Damien Dempsey posted a letter to his fans today which includes, among other things, a brief account of an impromptu singing session with Morrissey:
I had a sing song with Morrissey and his gang in the Four Seasons Hotel before his show in the National Stadium coming up to Christmas there, his crew were in awe when I walked in first followed by my older brother Gar who's a little bigger than me and behind Gar was the oldest brother Emmet who's bigger than Gar again, the Russian dolls some folks call us. Morrissey sang a bit of Gilbert O'Sullivan and I sang 'Paddy on the Railway' and Gar sang 'Go to Sea no More'. Morrissey was lovin it but they all had to shoot to bed for the impending show and they left the three of us with the barman who promptly bid us goodnight and left, we sat in silence lookin at each other for a second, stood up collectively as instinct kicked in, treaded towards the bar with our dwindling guinness's and...etc etc.
If only someone had had a tape recorder...

  • Damien is sadly very under-rated. Some of his stuff is amazing. Especially love "Seize the Day" album. Good on you Damo!

  • It was for YATQ tour-- 2004?

    One man and one guitar---he was awesome.

    I am the geek who shouted, "Welcome to Chicago!"

    To which, he humbly replied, "Thank-you."

    Wonderful night--I won't forget it.

    Truly,

  • Some how I find it difficult to believe that Morrissey would have a sing song with anyone.

  • Thanks for submitting this great story. You were always one of the few who contributed QUALITY content to the forum.

    Hope to God you're allowed back in May. A certain someone has been doing everything he can to keep you banned--spreading rumors, palling up with Kewpie to whisper lies about you--but I think David T. will figure things out in the end.

    Good luck, buddy!
