Damien Dempsey BBC Breakfast

[@martinjeffries9810]

One of the great Irish singers, and a good man to boot. He deserves the widest of audiences.

[@deezilf8159]

There's not a walking soul on this little ball of blue that could have put it better... spot on my friend...

[@shanemolloy4731]

Man can box too believe it or not

[@robrobertson4964]

A gig for Weight Watchers members do you mean?

[@MarkOLeary1]

Fun fact: Damian has twice successfully jumped into water to save people from drowning.

[@cill5]

Man, he is such a cool dude. Carries himself so well. Well done Damien bai.

[@taramcmahon5533]

Urban folk is my favourite. I started out by listening to Chas and Dave and The Pogues playing my London Irish community in the 70s. Damien is a true friend to the common people everywhere. I just love listening to his voice either on song or speech.

[@ginabideau3748]

Raglen Road. What an awesome poem,love story and song. Well done Damo. xx

[@justthetruth1]

[@riddlingrymer]

Damien's music has brought tears to the eyes of this cynical old bastard more than once.

[@johnathandaly]

Got man Damon 💚

[@claremccarron3058]

Oh god they should have let Damo sing that song in it's entirety😢 xx

[@Johanna-u4g]

[@themaggattack]

"Oh I always love a bit of light music on the program." Oh do ye, so? He shoulda hit yis wit a bit o "Paddy Ward" or "Colony". Good feckin morning, Britain. Time to wake tf up!

[@SiMcDon]

Best ever !!!!!!!

[@seancarver1]

Blessings Damo:)

[@sp1ink]

they are such spastics on this show - Damien exposes who he is and talks honestly about playing music and where he's from and the two presenters are in the zone "presenting" not making their guest feel comfortable at all and never able to let their guard down

[@brianm2881]

Let's be fair, here - it's just not what these kind of morning TV programs are about, and I doubt Damo is going on expecting any different. Unfortunately, these programs are just one of the things that artists have to do to promote their work.

[@donaloflynn]

I'm sure Damo wouldn't approve of you using that kind of language about two presenters who were perfectly polite to him. It's breakfast telly, not an arts show.

[@conorkeys655]

Gewan Damo !

[@raffpunk4927]

Up next... Conor McGregor on the One Show!!! Roy Keane on loose women... This reminds me of "Back to the Future," when Marty played Johnny B Goode. Damian is well on his way to become a legend none the less 🇮🇪

[@barryscanlon3575]

Damo is just brilliant.

[@robrobertson4964]

Is he out of tune or is it just me

[@Damienprouse.11]

Fair play to the presenters for not cracking up taught they were going to loose it . That had to be the worst version of that brilliant ballad I've ever heard by a mile and as for promotion Irish music you can forget about that. That chap has just set Irish music back 100 years single handedly..

[@davecle2920]

Omg this guy the world worst

See him live it like pure energy. I was the same as you

[@paulbergin8051]

Just go out and buy his album shots, give a listen to it and take it from there,

[@MrGraham137]

Not my favourite version of Raglan Road by a long way.....so, he's sang with everyone....certainly not the most modest man
