		DAMIEN DEMPSEY - Thurs 9th Inspired by the likes of Bob Marley and Luke Kelly, Damien Dempsey - Dublin's uber-urban poet - is about to release his debut long player - a collection of songs that will surely shift him into contention as one of Ireland's romantic, yet fiercely uncompromising singer songwriters.
		Damien Dempsey - Isaac Butt, Dublin, 5 Aug 99 Yep, Damien Dempsey used to be known as just 'Dempsey' and he is the guy who had that single 'Dublin Town' out two years ago that got saturation play on 2FM.
		Dempsey's focus is not in on himself, but outwards - on his (girl)friends, his community, his fellow human beings and you - not the abstract I-love-you 'you' of commercial rock, but YOU the person who is reading this.

		In 1873, at his request, he was sent to the lepers' colony on Molokai island, where he labored until his death from leprosy.
		Attention was called to Father Damien by a tract in his defense by R. Stevenson, An Open Letter to the Reverend Dr. Hyde, addressed to a minister who had made some slanderous insinuations against Father Damien shortly after his death.
		The area remains a memorial to Father Damien, a young Belgian priest who provided comfort to leprosy victims sent to the area.

	CLUAS \| Music Features \| Damien Dempsey interview and gig review
		Damien Dempsey is a Dublin singer-songwriter whose music is one part reggae, one part trad / folk, and one part uniquely his own.
		I fear many real music fans, who if they saw some of the Damien Dempsey gigs I've been at would be shouting his praises from the rooftops, will hear songs from this album on the radio and won't be inclined to give the music a second listen.
		Also, Damien Dempsey's voice is sweet and powerful live, but on the record it is not.

	Amplifier Magazine: DAMIEN DEMPSEY (CD)
		Damien Dempsey's previous release, Seize the Day, came off disappointingly -- like a poor man's David Gray.
		Whatever Dempsey was drinking while creating his newest album, however, has brought out the best in his art.
		The track uses nothing more than Dempsey’s lonesome, strummed guitar and the singer/songwriter’s empathetic voice; but that’s all it really needs, as these stories sell themselves.

	!Quite Great Publicity - Damien Dempsey

		Damien was the surprise success of the 2004 Meteor Awards’; he was the most nominated artist appearing in 4 categories and walked away with two awards, the only artist to win more than one.

	Damien Dempsey @ The 100 Club, London
		Dublin boy and junior boxing champion Damien Dempsey brought his unique blend of Irish rock and sweaty soul to the 100 Club for a gig that left not a dry eye in the house: well for the lads present anyway.
		Clearly his work hits the same emotional response buttons to Dempsey’s predominantly male fans as Morrissey, but without the lilting delivery or defiant bravura it was hard to feel their emotional charge.
		But somehow the stories lost something in the telling, and Damien’s delivery failed to elevate this performance beyond a good singsong into the realms of a night to remember from a singer about to crash into the big time.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Arts features \| 'I'm a soft, sensitive sort of soul'
		Damien Dempsey arrives on stage carrying his guitar to a deafening chant of "Dam-O, Dam-O", as if he was some boy-band hero rather than a thoughtful and angry balladeer.
		Dempsey, 27, has been fighting to establish himself as a singer for over a decade.
		Unlike many of his friends, Dempsey stayed on at school until he was 17, "just to oblige my mother, though I loved history and literature".

	Scotsman.com News - Features - Damien Dempsey
		Dempsey is an acquired taste, a taste hinging on his startling ugly-beautiful vocals, which dominate any performance.
		Dempsey writes about what he sees on his doorstep with a straight-shooting Irish rebel streak.
		Ranging in tone from the delicately lilting to the fiercely defiant to the rabble-rousingly anthemic, Dempsey songs are love songs, protest songs, songs to comfort, songs to unsettle.

	Tangible Sounds - Canadian Music Magazine - Damien dempsey
		Damien is a uniquely Irish specimen that I haven’t seen evidence of in Toronto.
		The aching acoustic chords forever echoing behind Dempsey’s voice and the skilfully chosen trad-celtic accompaniments, it’s all there to lull you into a false sense of security.
		Of course, Dempsey balances it out with I’ve no bread and I feel fecking braindead / In a room full of e-heads on “Party On,” a poem to, apparently, not being able to see pretty flowers when you’ve got a head full of coke.

	RTÉ.ie Entertainment: Damien Dempsey - Shots
		While Damien Dempsey's vocal is an acquired taste, there can be no doubting that on closer inspection you'll discover that his work shows an astute observation of Irish life.
		While many of his contemporaries are focussing on love and heartbreak, Dempsey's concern is in giving a voice to the downtrodden, those who can't speak for themselves and he does it very effectively.
		Many might question Dempsey's vocal talent; truthfully, this reviewer did too, at first, but there is a lot to be said for his simple, direct approach to singing.

	Seize the Day - Damien Dempsey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Damien has one of the rawest voices I have heard and John Reynolds (producer) has held back beautifully from the temptation to perhaps over produce or polish him.
		Damien sings with the same gusto..and same flaws (!) that any man in a Dublin pub would, and indeed the Irish diaspora will recognise the traditonal Irish, balladic style of singing from any family gathering.
		But it is vocally where the album has all its strengths, not just because it is impossible to ignore by force alone or strong Dublin dialect but by the unique way he punctuates phrases and adds a street ruggedness to words.

		'patience' exhonorates damiens idol Peter Tosh whilst the rest of his material is pebbledashed with splats of every other singer songwriter you ever loved.
		From the more melancholy but optimistic 'Sing all our cares away' and 'Not on your own tonight' the album progresses onto songs that make you want to dance ('St. Paddy's Day' and 'Party On') and then songs that make you realise how the Irish were so dispossessed and messed around ('Colony', 'Patience', 'Chocktaw Nation'.
		Damien's difference is his ability to tell the world straight about Ireland's past, present and future without making you feel like that if you're not Irish you can't be a part of his music.

	Seize the Day - Damien Dempsey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Producer John Reynolds who has worked with Sinead OConnor does an excellent job putting a good sonic face on the sophomore effort of Dempseys 3 CDs.
		When Dempsey sings, "There was dust, and there was liquid you could buy for just a few quid and escape out of the jungle to return and crawl and stumble." While not particularly pleasant, it is a fearless address to this sad problem.
		My favorite track is the opener "Negative Vibes" with Dempseys stunning first line, "Lord, wont you give me the strength to be strong and be true." The set closes with the title track and is a pretty acoustically strummed folk melody.

		Theres something strangely compelling about Damien Dempseys country accent when he sings though...and the fact that a folky singer/songwriter singing a song titled "Party On" is a good laugh too...
		I hope you guys really appreciate how lucky you are to have the opportunity to actually hear these musicians live.
		Not that there's anything wrong with that but he kind of rips it up a bit I think I'll buuy the album anyway, his voice grows on you it gives him a bit of a different edge anyway now that damien rice is starting to grate on the ears a bit.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Arts Friday Review \| Damien Dempsey, Shots
		A one-man voice for the struggles of the Irish working classes and the pain of noble but downtrodden Ireland in general, Damien Dempsey can count Sinead O'Connor among his fans - but also, less obviously, Brian Eno, who guests on his third album.
		Never one to use a metaphor when the grindingly literal will do, Dempsey sings as if from a pulpit and crafts lyrics that manage to be bothcrass and clumsy.
		There are, however, glimpses of grace - most potently in the album's closing minutes, as Oscar Wilde's assertion that "we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars" is sung repeatedly, like a mantra.
