Damien Dempsey on Irish music, Kneecap and James McClean

[@diddyKite2010]

I remember Damien jumping off the stage at Electric Picnic and hugging and kissing everyone in the crowd while we sang most of his set. The absolute joy was incredible. He's the real deal. A warrior poet in the old style.

Not one of yiz have come out & spoke of what's happening in the country.

[@patrickbracken3363]

About the rise of racists, cheered on by people like Tony Robinson and Nigel Farage? And how these racists marched with right-wing loyalists in Belfast and stood under the British flag and watched those loyalists cheer at the spot where they murdered Irish people in a bookies? About the fact that most of the far right content posted on Irish web-sites is being posted from outside of Ireland? Is that what you mean? Or are you talking about how cowards have hijacked the tricolour and hide behind it with false names to push paranoid, right-wing nonsense online?

Who was Damien Dempsey?

[@katoness]

Sinead O Connor? The Bob Marley of Ireland? Go on out of that Damo, a sliver spoon is what!!

[@ciaranmac8689]

Kneecap I’m from Belfast and I can tell you we can’t stand them funded by the system 😊

[@heyya99]

why can't you stand them?

[@katoness]

@@heyya99 Did he not just tell you that? LOL

[@patrickbracken3363]

"We"? I'm from andytown and you're not speaking for anybody from west Belfast that i know.

[@suzyfarr1891]

Sadly, all these artists are saying nothing about the Irish actually being reolaced....its all about money and RTE appearances for them

[@patrickbracken3363]

You know why they're not talking about it? Because its not happening - only in the heads of people being manipulated by the likes of Tony Robinson and Nigel Farage. People so brainwashed that they marched with loyalists in belfast under the union jack, and stood by as those loyalists celebrated in front of a bookies where they shot irish people dead. Who come you lot never speak about that?

[@Tombola91]

Kneecap😂😂😂😂 funded and backed up by brit government. Joke

[@patrickbracken3363]

"Backed up by the brit government"? 🤣🤣 Yeah, right - whatever big lad.
