Irish gig???

Angeline · 01-29-2007, 12:02 PM

Any word on Damien playing an irish gig/concert yet??

Its not fair ....why did he leave his own people out of his tour.

Wheels · 01-29-2007, 12:40 PM

Maybe he likes to relax when he gets home... maybe he has a BIG surprise waiting for us... or maybe, just maybe, he completely forgot

cille · 01-29-2007, 01:21 PM

I don't think he likes you lot anymore. You're just TOO Irish for him. He's a Man of the World now.

He hasn't left us out, he's played in Ireland seven times since the start of September, which was co-incidentally, the start of the tour.

Unfortunately not... Nobody tells me anything...

Angeline · 01-29-2007, 07:35 PM

Where????... no one tells me anything either...obviously it wasnt advertised or they werent that big of gigs.. or maybe we just dont hear anything over here in the west.

Liv · 01-29-2007, 08:44 PM

What about Iceland?? so sad without his sweet music up here!

They were advertised, there was a four month space where Damien had confirmed his appearance and tickets were onsale. It was called The Electric Picnic, and over the course of the weekend he played no less then five seperate times. There was also two other gigs played in Vicar Street in September, which were cheaper then tickets for The Picnic, they were advertised too, and lastly and most recently he played in St. James' Chapel in Dingle, that was announced here and on RTE before it went on sale to the public.

that's probably stretching it a bit... the dingle tickets sold out in hours, electric picnic was just one (festival) event...

i think a proper irish tour is definitely called for!

his last full irish tour was in december 2002.

Angeline · 01-31-2007, 10:20 AM

No Need to get so defensive Bumpman...

Thank you admin for clearing that up...

I knew about electric picnic..i'm just on about his own gigs - by himself...Never heard of the dingle one...and the ones the vicar street were in August by the way..anyway ya i agree he should do a full irish tour..or i'll settle for 1 big concert somewhere thats advertisied so we all know about it.

Wheels · 01-31-2007, 11:13 AM

I think Damien should buy a forest with a big clearing... and play there by a camp-fire all the time and anyone who wanted to hear him could go and sit for a while

We'd all have to wear patchwork shirts though... and care for the little orphan animals that would be running about.

Daniel · 01-31-2007, 11:49 AM

sounds like it'd be full of crusty hippies.

Bumpman · 01-31-2007, 01:19 PM

I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

cille · 01-31-2007, 01:27 PM

Why should you hold you breath? Hippie stench?

That sounds absolutely great....if only...I'd be happy to be hippy and wear patchwork shirts and love all the orphan animals no problem...anything for our god any day.

Bumpman · 02-01-2007, 10:01 AM

And he could call it 'The Large Plant' or 'The Giant Flower' or maybe even 'The Irregularly Sized Patch Of Foliage'.

Wheels · 02-01-2007, 10:42 AM

I was thinking something simpler like... 'the clearing'... it would be both literal, where it is, but also metaphorical, referring to the clearing of his mind and soul...

Angeline · 02-01-2007, 11:04 AM

I think he would love to do something like that...Wheels maybe you should suggest it to Damo's management???

Wheels · 02-01-2007, 11:47 AM

I don't exactly have any contacts... maybe he'll read this himself...

I still think it'd be something phallic like some of the ones bumpman suggested, or 'big bamboo' or 'the swaying fishing rod' or something along the lines.

Sure ya do...well pass it on to the adminstrator then... or Damien if your reading this...please consider our suggestion for a gig cos you know its a cool idea. We'll let you decide on the name...

Wheels · 02-01-2007, 02:24 PM

Oh, I'm not talking about 'a' gig... I'm talking about permanent residency... kind of like Elvis or Sinatra playing Vegas all the time... He could live in a tent or a cave or something on-site.

Bumpman · 02-01-2007, 05:00 PM

He'll be the new Celine Dion

cille · 02-01-2007, 06:19 PM

We don't need a new Celine now do we. She's totally *dreamy*.

They're both the same... Tiny, green and incapable of forming sentences.
