Damien Leith switches ballads for upbeat cabaret in a new play with an Irish twist
IRISH singer Damien Leith, known for heartfelt ballads about his homeland, is branching out with a new cabaret play, The Parting Glass: An Irish Journey.
The former Australian Idol winner weaves a story around the meeting of a father and son in a typical Irish pub after five years spent apart, in which he plays both roles.
Filled with humour and emotion, the play also features a five-piece band with traditional Irish instruments.
Having already debuted to a rousing reception in Adelaide and Melbourne, Leith said the project was a chance to challenge his versatility as a performer.
“I’m excited. It’s something completely different to what I’ve done before,” he said.
