Damien Dempsey is a musician who is able to be passionate without feeling embarrassed about it. Those who have seen his live shows, particularly back home in Dublin, will know that he has built up his ferociously loyal support by following in the footsteps of his early heroes Christy Moore, the Dubliners and the Pogues, while adding new influences from reggae and rock to Celtic rap. This new album, which is already No 2 in the Irish charts, is intense and varied, switching from acoustic ballads to pounding anthems worthy of the young Springsteen. It starts with a set of personal songs, based around the theme of living life to the full, and then changes gear. Serious is a brooding tale of drugs, temptation and Dublin street life, and Teachers is a reggae-tinged tribute to heroes from Bob Marley to Luke Kelly. To Hell or Barbados is a furious history lesson on the Irish expelled to the Caribbean as slaves by Cromwell. It confirms Dempsey's position as one of Ireland's great singer-songwriters.

Good lord. Typing on a wee phone is hard.

Just as hard as thinking in your case...

your orange b1tch

Still in search of where 10lube stated where English wasn't his first tongue... maybe fae somewhere exotic like the borders...

I find it rather outrageous when people criticise my linguistic abilities (or lack of) instead of appreciating the humongous effort that some chap like me has to put in to communicating with people (folk on here) in their own language (English in this case) when English would probably be my 3rd language. Tell me, how many languages can you communicate in with the same (or better) degree of fluency?

That not to mention the fact that I've always been a flop in matter of languages (and communication in general) - which is why I said some time ago that I am alingual.

Now, old hag, what else is worrying you? smh.

>What are you saying Roxy?

Just because myself and Orange are inclined to defend ourselves independently against a pair of trolls who fill the forums with their affirmations of love (albeit cryptically) on a daily basis

doesn't a couple make. Together, I and Orange stand alone! And you are confused but I admire how important it is to you to promote balance and therefore harmony, it's a very nice trait but misguided in this instance.

>The two P's in a pod are the architects of their own ruination....they just got more than they bargained for and were bettered.

>Oh great. Now the apologist has arrived.

Coming from scarey's b1tch, that's actually quite hilarious.

Why don't you just stop responding to the pair of us if you find us so objectionable? Come off it, look at yourselves.

There you go. The topic of this thread is gossip about other posters, written by a jilted, sad and old creepy w@nker. I think we'll all agree that this is a troll post. Who's the troll now, Kirk's pal?

-scarey
So, you seem delighted and is agreeing and fueling a troll and bullying Roxy because she trashed the creep, and then you expect us to believe your claim that you aren't a troll? Can you see how you are undermining your own argument there or is that too smart for you? You are your orange b1tch are two sad old freaks who blame the world for their miserable existance. That's who you are. Nothing else.

-Roxy
Thanks for pointing that out. I appreciate your honesty. X<

Coming from scarey's b1tch, that's actually quite hilarious.

Look at your posting patterns. Paul and I don't post. You don't post either.

Paul and I didn't even post on here and the pair of you were all over it. Why bother if you don't care about us and want us off the boards?

Fu.ck off ya old ugly freak. Playing the tough guy cause you're hiding behind a screen aye pa? A fkn born loser.
