Hailed as “one of the most important and evocative Irish singers of all time” (Irish Examiner)Damien Dempsey has long been a veritable superstar on his native turf, where his stature has been likened to Bob Marley’s in Jamaica. An ex-boxer and street-gang survivor from Dublin’s harshly impoverished Northside, he brings his searingly pugnacious, polemical yet compassionate perspective eloquently to bear on topics both local and global, expressed in a formidably mighty voice. After 2008’s traditional-based The Rocky Road, he’s currently at work on a new self-penned album.
With its succinct, she-wolf-in-ewe’s-clothing connotations, Kitty the Lion’s name provides a clear pointer to this young Glasgow quintet’s smart, mouthy, adrenalin-fuelled folk-pop, while Dempsey’s young fellow Northsider Eoin Glackin cites “Damo” as the founding inspiration behind his deservedly much-touted debut album, Not Lost.
Over 14s only and under 16s should be accompanied by an adult.
