(Jack L) (Damien Dempsey)
If you’re not sitting in your room dissecting the new Radiohead album that you downloaded for free, then there a couple of gigs around Derry and Donegal tomorrow, October 11, that may be of interest.
Dublin singer-songwriter Damien Dempsey returns to the Balor Theatre in Ballybofey, Donegal to perform an intimate set. Having already seen Damo previously in this venue I can assure you that you will not be let down, even if his latest album, ‘To Hell or Barbados’, is a bit of a damp squib, give or take a few tracks. There’s already enough juice in the Damo canon to keep the Donegal crowd stomping tomorrow.
Irish crooner Jack L returns to Derry tomorrow night and performs at the Playhouse, now in its temporary quarters – St Columb’s Hall, while refurbishments take place at the Artillery Street venue. Jack is quite the extravagant performer, with a style that leans strongly on Scott Walker, with echoes of Bowie, Nick Cave and (am I the only one who hears this?) Cathal Coughlan. Expect to hear various selections from Jack’s back catalogue, including original material from albums such as ‘Wax’, ‘Metropolis Blue’, latest album ‘Broken Stones’ and also he may venture into the Jacques Brel tribute territory once again too.

Between the two I stumped. I’m a nosey bastard, so I may just venture down to ‘muckerville’ to see how the Playhouse crew are getting on down below at St Columb’s.
