Pat Dam Smyth

Pat Dam Smyth is from Northern Ireland. He knows the country well, and the country knows him. He has spent his formative years busking in Belfast and other soggy streets in cities throughout the UK. After years of touring with the cult duo Belfast's Pat and Nipsy - and later with London's Smokey Angle Shades - Pat broke loose and returned home to Belfast to record The Great Divide working with a host of local musicians and producers. The Great Divide is an album that holds the past close both in concept and sound.
