Damien Dempsey

The Dublin songwriter whose audience sings the whole set back at him.

Folk & world

At KOKO.

Damien Dempsey grew up in Donaghmede, boxed for Dublin before he chose music, and has spent twenty-five years writing about that city in a voice that does not soften anything. Hold Your Joy, a double album in 2024, came after a seven-year gap and is the fullest thing he has recorded. The live shows are the reason for the following: rooms that sing every word, which is unusual for a songwriter rather than a band.

19:00 to 23:00. Fourteen and over; 14s and 15s need an adult with them.
