---

Damien Dempsey returns with his 4th studio album, and arguably his most
accomplished recording yet. The title comes from a book by Sean O'Callaghan -'To
Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland', which tells of 50,000 Irish
men, women and children sent to Barbados as slaves during Oliver Cromwell's
conquest in Ireland.

"Damien Dempsey is a musician who is able to be passionate without feeling
embarrassed about it. Those who have seen his live shows, particularly back home
in Dublin, will know that he has built up his ferociously loyal support by
following in the footsteps of his early heroes Christy Moore, the Dubliners and
the Pogues, while adding new influences from reggae and rock to Celtic rap.

This new album, which is already No 2 in the Irish charts, is intense and
varied, switching from acoustic ballads to pounding anthems worthy of the young
Springsteen. It starts with a set of personal songs, based around the theme of
living life to the full, and then changes gear. Serious is a brooding tale of
drugs, temptation and Dublin street life, and Teachers is a reggae-tinged
tribute to heroes from Bob Marley to Luke Kelly. To Hell or Barbados is a
furious history lesson on the Irish expelled to the Caribbean as slaves by
Cromwell. It confirms Dempsey's position as one of Ireland's great
singer-songwriters." - The Guardian ****

"a whip-smart lyrical tour de force, his songwriter's eye for detail
astounds..." - Hot Press

"A phenomenal voice..." - Sunday Times
