Damien Dempsey performs in Athlone this weekend

Singer and songwriter Damien Dempsey will be in Athlone this weekend as part of his 'No Force On Earth' solo tour.

The Dubliner is performing in the Radisson Blu Hotel on Sunday evening.

It will be his second Westmeath gig in successive nights, as he is playing in The Fence in Mullingar on Saturday.

Dempsey's music is a potent fusion of reggae, traditional Irish, rock and folk elements.

He is performing a handful of solo gigs across the country in advance of some pre-Christmas shows, with a full band, in Dublin's Vicar Street.

At the time of writing, tickets for Sunday's gig in Athlone were still available from reception in the Radisson Hotel. They are priced €20, plus booking fee.
