Info zu Holywell

A deeply personal collection of songs rooted in oral tradition, Damien explains: “These are songs I heard as a child, sung by my elders in houses and pubs at singsongs. Some are centuries old, and many people don’t know them. For me, they’re like a holy well. When I sing them, they bring healing to my soul.”

Holywell continues Dempsey’s lifelong mission to preserve and pass on traditional Irish music to new generations: “I have lots of young fans, and I know they’ll be learning and singing these songs now, and so this gold travels on into the future, carried in people’s hearts, minds and souls, gifted to others along the way. Happy days.”

Raised on Holywell Crescent, Donaghmede, Damien’s songwriting career spans more than 20 years, releasing 10 albums and performing with Sinead O’Connor and Bob Dylan along the way. His work is known for his truthful and emotive lyrics, celebrating how music can move us all.

HOPE CALLING – IS A NEW SINGLE OUT JUNE 30 THROUGH FOUR FOUR / ABC MUSIC

“I believe we must always carry hope in our hearts, hope lives in dreams and imagination and visualisation, and without it we would never solve or create anything, so keep it safe in your heart, always.

I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing without hope, it helps us along through life like music does.” (Damien Dempsey)
