Dermot posted tonight a simple 'Patience'. Mightnt seem like much of a caption but it's MASSIVE. Here's edgar I took from it... ▪︎Patience with the global pandemic - it will too pass ▪︎ Patience with the blm movement- keeping it alive and to the fore of you thoughts + actions change will come ▪︎ Patience with the waiting game that is waiting to see our music artists live again .. that'd day will come too. Patience is powerful. ♥︎ __________________________________________ #dermotkennedy 📷@getty #dermotkennedyfanpage #dermotkennedylive #dermotkennedymusic #islandsmilesandcardigans #islandsmiles #explorepage #explore #musicistherapy #passionformusic #comealive #liveperformance (at Ireland, Europe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBcIqZBhOb2/?igshid=mzp4443ak6q0

I looked at this photo for waaaay too long this morning, wondering what it must feel like in that moment to look out at that crowd, having just played an epic show at @radiocitymusichall? ________________________________________#dermotkennedy #dermotkennedylive #dermotkennedymusic #dermotkennedyfanpage #islandsmilesandcardigans #islandsmiles #explorepage #explore #livemusicisbetter #liveperformance #musicbloggers (at Radio City Music Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBapWQYh_Nn/?igshid=x7nmf2t3677u

Final post on #mentalhealthawarenessweek goes to this performance. ⠀ A fundraising concert Dermot took part in, in 2018, called 'Rock Against Homelessness'. With him onstage you'll see the @highhopeschoir. ⠀ ⠀ In 2014, the High Hopes choir was formed by Ireland’s world-renowned conductor, David Brophy. He set out to help people who are homeless and change their lives through music. So the choir is comprised of homeless men and women and it takes them out of their difficult situation for a portion of their day and gives them a sense of purpose , a hugely positive move in their minding of their mental health. ⠀ ⠀ Dermot performed Glory with them that night and I think they sound amazing! It's a wonderful initiative and this year they raised 70,000euro. ⠀ ⠀ Swipe to see pictures by @lucyfosterphoto and Dermots own comments about the night!. ⠀ ____________________________________⠀ #dermotkennedy #dermotkennedyfanpage #dermotkennedylive #dermotkennedy music #islandsmilesandcardigans #islandsmiles #explorepage #explore (at Ireland, Europe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAlvDWWhKAT/?igshid=1a3xulbir2e7g

As we are nearing the end of Mental Health Awareness Week id like to show you another example where Dermot stepped up to contribute on this important issue.⠀ ⠀ First Fortnight is a charity-based organisation with the express aim of challenging mental health prejudice through the creative arts. How amazing is that as a concept!?? ⠀ ⠀ First Fortnight say "We believe the arts allow us to create a space where people can talk about mental health issues in a non-scripted manner. Once that conversation has begun, we hope this will then help to change people’s perceptions about an issue that affects us all with one in four of us set to experience a mental health problem at some point in our lives"⠀ ⠀ In 2016 @dermotkennedy performed in Dublin as part of the First Fortnight sessions , which was a series of artists coming together to raise awareness.⠀ Its great to see Dermot champion the issue , I think it's a beautiful way to recognise particularly men's mental health where such a stigma still lies. ⠀ ⠀ Many thanks to photographer Kieran Frost (@frost_.ie) for digging the archives + helping me out with his super pictures of Dermot from that night in 2016 🙏💚________________________ #dermotkennedy #dermotkennedyfanpage #islandsmilesandcardigans #dermotkennedylive #dermotkennedymusic #dermotkennedyfans #firstfortnight #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness (at Ireland, Europe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAiuysznWxO/?igshid=1pnms9waity22

Tonight's YouTube Concert was a beacon of light in these times. Dermot wanted it to lift spirits and he achieved that in bundles. It was surprisingly different, full of emotion and such a credit to all who worked on putting it together for us. It definitely cleared the head and boosted the mood Thank You All ❤ ____________________________________ #dermotkennedy #dermotkennedylive #dermotkennedyfanpage #soundwave (at Ireland, Europe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAbPJzxBkJW/?igshid=1iz0vf81aglxz

"Playing fast around the drums is one thing, But to play music, to play with people for others to listen to, that's something else, That's a whole other world" - Tony Williams . It's a world that despite his doubts , to us as fans, it's a world that #micháelquinn has absolutely nailed. Some of my very favourite moments of #dermotkennedy show are the drums and it simply wouldn't be the same if #micháelquinn wasn't behind them. 💚 @carlryan @hotpressmagazine . . . #micháelquinn #drummer #hotpressmagazine #bestmusician #drummersworld #lovedrums #sonordrums #irishdrummer #dermotkennedydrummer #withoutfeartour # #dermotkennedy #dermotkennedyfans #musicheals #dermotkennedylive https://www.instagram.com/p/B8WPwGdHRMv/?igshid=q737w4kpibsz
