Introduction

[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img] Hi, just thought I would introduce myself. I am Gary. I discovered Damien Rice a couple of years ago nearly - when I bought the Accoustic album. Loved his song The Blowers Daughter, went and sought out his album later, when it was released. Since then, my wife has hijacked my copy of the album - she is gaga about him now.

Had the priviledge of seeing him support Katherine Williams at Warwick in 2001 ( and met him before the show - he signed the Album and three CD singles for me, and drew little pictures on some of them, even had my photo taken with him - and the wife did too)

Since then we have seen him at The Tabernacle in London in November 2002 and just recently at the Carling Academy in Birmingham.

What can I say about him.....he sings fantastically live. It seems funny, because his voice doesn't seem to match his face does it.

Such a powerfully emotive voice, perfectly accomanied by Lisa. The music too is superb....I love the accoustic guitar when it's played that well (see also Nick Drake - wow).

I have to say that Damien is going to get the recognition he deserves, I just hope he doesn't change too much, that would be a great pity. Plus, it would be more difficult to see him.

If you like Damien, which you obviously do or you wouldn't be on this site - try out Tom Mcrae - He is fantastic live too.
