Damian was first introduced to flamenco in the late 90s, when his love of guitar led him to a show in Vicar St by a group of visiting Spanish artists. Although it was the guitar that originally drew his interest, it was the emotion and intensity of the singing and the passion and energy of the dancing that left the greatest impression. He was able to draw many parallels between the cante of flamenco and the sean nós singing of Irish tradition, but for the dance he had no comparison; it was unlike anything he had ever seen.
