Other Voices: Damien Rice

Following the breakup up of indie pop group Juniper, singer Damien Rice spent a period of time busking around Europe as a solo performer. Upon his return to Ireland, he recorded the album O, which was released on his own label DRM. The album quietly became a word-of- mouth sensation. It won the prestigious Shortlist Music Prize, spent 15 weeks on the Billboard Music Chart and 80 on the British Album chart and singles “The Blowers Daughter” and “Cannonball” featured in the Oscar nominated film Closer.Rice has garnered a reputation as an elusive and enigmatic figure, retreating from the limelight for years to work on his music. In 2006 he released his second album, 9, which sold over a million copies around the globe and competed against Bob Dylan and Justin Timberlake at the Brit awards and in 2014 he teamed up with legendary producer Rick Rubin (Adele, Johnny Cash, Ed Sheeran) for My Favourite Faded Fantasy, which reached the top 10 in over 30 countries.He joins us in Dingle for an intimate, and incredible rare, televised performance that is a must watch for music lovers.
