A leading figure in Irish folk music, Damien Rice is a musician who has influenced generations with his heart-breaking ballads and delicate voice. An ideal candidate for an intimate and deeply moving Pocket Party. Since his sublime debut album ‘O’, released in 2002, which was featured, amongst other things, in Mike Nichols' film "Closer", Damien Rice has been reinventing himself, exploring every facet of his music, collaborating with a wide variety of artists - he was accompanied on stage by Lisa Hannigan for a while - and embracing every form of live performance, from solo appearances with his guitar to orchestral concerts.
