Irish folk legend Damien Dempsey headlines SWG3 TV Studio on Sunday 10 March 2024.
An iconic figure in Irish music, Dempsey arrived on the scene in the late nineties and released his debut album They Don't Teach This Shit in School in 2000. Despite the album not being a commercial success, Dempsey was praised by his contemporaries for the lyrical content and rawness of his music.
Support from artists such as Sinead O'Connor, and Morrisey, helped elevate Dempsey into the public eye and a string of releases from 2003 till 2007, including 2005 album Shots – which debuted at the top of the Irish albums chart and achieved platinum status before the year was up, helped propel the singer to stardom. Dempsey was accordingly honoured as Best Irish Male at the Meteor Awards in 2006 & 2007, and to this day is now recognised as one of the most important voices in Irish music.
