Vicar Street 26 and 27 November. Anyone going?
Monday and Tuesday night is a bit of a strange one for Damo. As itās a Champions League week (I think) Iād prefer to go on the Monday night. As the astro teamās playing winter league on Monday nights then it could double up as a team bonding session after that nightās game.
I always thought of Damien Dempsey as more of a poet then a singer to be honest. His lyrics are brutally obvious but strangely excellent and heartfelt. I have two of his albums, but as for going to a concert I donāt think Iād bother
Hey rocko, is there any way youāll be able to get the new album up on TFK in such a fashion that Iād be able to get it on my mp3? Itās not out for another couple of weeks.
Iāll see what I can do.
Lovely. Cheers.
Is this the covers and rarities album or a new studio one?
The former.
The great manās new album is out this week and the version of Rainy Night In Soho in particular is reported to be stupendously good.
Listened to Rainy Night in Soho last night and it is indeed excellent. Havenāt seen the rest of the album anywhere yet though.
Did buy the Pogues Box Set and itās superb. Some amount of songs on it.
Think itās been out on iTunes since Tuesday and is hitting the shops on Friday.

Wouldnāt be a Damien Dempsey fan at all but I saw him live a few years ago in Dublin and have to admit it was a great show.
Iād be a massive Pogues fan and have all the albums so wonāt be buying the compilation, I am amazed you think the Rainy Night version is excellent. I heard it for the first time on the radio tuesday night and thought he destroyed the song.
I will reserve judgement until I hear it a few more times though as sometimes a song/album can grow on you the more you hear it.
I hated the Doors the 1st time I borrowed an album off a mate but think their stuff is excellent now so Iāll wait and see.
I just noticed Benny Sherminās comment earlier on this thread. The Dempsey live experience is the greatest thing about him - his live shows are truly outstanding. I chatted to him out in RTE one time and in Heathrow on another occasion and he was sound. I was over in Glasgow on my own for a game last season - canāt remember which one - and he was last onboard the return flight home. I hummed āColonyā pretty loudly as he walked by and he started laughing. I think that makes us friends.
damien dempsey is brilliant liveā¦i know a lot of people that wouldnt like him because of the songs they hear from him on the radio but they dont do him justiceā¦factories, trains and houses- colony- sing all our cares away and spraypaint back alley have to be heard liveā¦have seen him live 4 times each time he was superb(normally has a lad with him who is shit hot on the drums)
he played a gig inside in one of the lecture halls in UL one night and it was epicā¦there was only around 100 people at itā¦pure intimateā¦
Rock could you tell me, on that Pogues box set I donāt suppose there is a version of Limerick Rake on it? A great old traditional song, I used to have an mp3 of Shane singing it in a leary sort of way. A brilliant rendition.
As for Dempsey, I liked the first album but I really think he hams up the accent a bit, I mean is it real? It seems a bit contrived, maybe Iām wrong.
