He's Irish, yes.

I've seen scant evidence of the other titles.

Then you should go into hmv or any music shop and have a look, there's four albums worth of evidence to have a look at and listen to

I have heard his stuff.

I meant that I've heard scant evidence to suggest that he's a 'singer' or a 'songwriter'.

Sherifu

I like his stuff.

Jackovarian

dunno why everybody always tears into por auld damo.
at least he's singing in his own voice for feck sake. how many other drawling feckers are there out there puttin on crappy american accents while singin! myself included.

I think he is ahead of his time, and it will be only in years to come, when we've lost all irish-ness that we'll realise how important damo and the lieks are.


like, he can be rough. i mean, some of the vocal s on seize the day hit notes that made your face cringe. but ya hae to listen for the good parts and the melody.

hes getting better all the time.


ahh well.:pac:

Xavi6

He's absolutely woeful. Could never ever forgive him for relaesing that 'Rolling down to Dub-e-lin town' boll*x. Modern day RA music.

Jackovarian

Xavi6

Never 'erd of 'im!!

All the tickets for the gig in Whelans are sold out! Sob!

dreamingoak

god i love him, love the trad/singer-songwriter/reggae mix! your pretty eyes could light up ah-any room dum dum te dum da da dum dum doodle do.. etc..

RastaRed

He's a legend, this generations Luke Kelly or Christy Moore. Better than Damien Rice and all that other bland ****e

SuperHans

Quality musician. Haven't really listened to his first album, but latter albums have been brilliant. The man is to be respected even if his music isn't to your tastes. His lyrics can be quite simplistic at times, but there are some lyrical gems in there. True inspiration for young Irish musicians and appeals to a wide range of Irish society.
Bashers can go off and listen to their McDonalds music.

Way of the mark there, Xavi.

It's actually modern day sh*te RA music.

Jesus Wept

I thought you meant DamoElDiablo - he is a legend, dunno about Dempsey.

Doctor DooM

Don't care much for his stuff, but I don't begrude the guy his hard work and success.

Local Goddess

He's playing in December I think, woo! But I'm not mad about the covers album thing he brought out, he should stick to his own stuff! Do you think he is a good singer? Like do you like his voice? I wonder if his songs would be more or less popular if he didn't sing in an accent.

I've heard he is going to stop gigging for a year. Can this be true?

I like the trad album, more people share the fondness now.

(apologies for plank at the start)

Local Goddess

Haha, Pat Kenny-enough said! He sounds really good there, good song

mickos

I think he's excellent. Hope its not true about him giving up gigging. I was intending to go see him over the next couple of months. I'd better get a move on.

ShawnRaven

Give a muppet a bottle of Jemmy and a record deal and we have earaches all around.

Putrid to say the least, i'd sooner go through root canal without the anesthetic than have to listen to what he tries passing off as music!

Local Goddess

Went to see him last night, he was fu<kin brilliant!!:D:D
