Reckon you'll come and see Damo with me some point before you go to Ireland? lol


But that means you'd actually have to make it to a Damo Gig...............And has that ever happened..........yet.

I was talking to my cousin's mate the other night and he went to music school with Damien and still has recordings of him from when he was 17 :shock:

Indeed, some of them produced by Pete Holidai {the Radiators} who was one of Damo's early mentors and champions at Ballyfermot.

My old man grew up there and the only image I have of it is set steadfast in memories of accounts and stories about it from the 1950's and 60's that he told to me. A romantically idyllic pinhole version filled with fields and boyhood frivolity compared to what it is like now I assume. Doesn't bother me though as it gives credence and shape to all these Irish songs about the place that I grew up hearing sung that seemed like they were written about some other planet. Ballyer from what I can gather seems like it retains this intangible duality between gutter and soul. Sometimes with great darkness and despair there comes great fantastic arrays of light and creativity you know.

He grew up on Ballyfermot Parade and the stories he used to tell me always remind me of the song, Danny Farrell. He even used to replace Danny Farrell with my name in the song when he used to sing it. I got to get back there one day

I don't know if this has been posted yet but old Damo pulls this one off pretty well
