The Rocky Road Sing Song with Damien Dempsey
“The Rocky Road Sing Song” with Ireland’s leading musician, Damien Dempsey will be a morning of songs, stories and tunes to be enjoyed and performed by you – the primary and secondary school students of Ireland!
This unique concert is part of the “Songs and Stories” project which encourages children to engage with their rich cultural legacy and aims to foster cultural understanding, empathy, and a sense of community among students nationwide, promoting screen-free fun.
RTE filmed Damien Dempsey and the team from Inspiring You when they visited Damo’s old school, Holy Trinity SNS, for a school sing song
It was clear that there was an appetite with students to connect with our old “Songs and Stories”.
Now it’s time to forget about endless scrolling because this is about real-life fun and connecting with each other. Imagine belting out some classic Irish tunes, singing on stage with Damien and learning about the stories hidden in the lyrics that were sung by our ancestors!
Schools are invited to suggest some classic Irish ballads as well as some of Damo’s iconic songs to be sung on Friday May 1st in the iconic TF Royal.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to be part of the “Rocky Road Sing Song with Damien Dempsey” and to show the rest of the country that the West is truly Awake on May 1st 2026 and full of great talent and stories!
