Damien Rice made a welcome return to Auckland playing to a sold out audience 20+ years after he was last in town.

Damien Rice is still a masterful performer with an unmatched voice and a small discography of quiet majesty.

"Welcome. It's been a while," is the simple greeting Damien Rice gives and for close to the next two hours we are taken on a journey through Damien's fatalistic psyche –that is at times far more uncomfortable than his mostly delicate, acoustic-based musical backing would have it seem.

Five songs into his spellbinding set, Irish singer-songwriter Damien Rice genuinely lets the crowd decide what he’s going to play next. There are screams.

I was only 14 when Damien Rice first fell onto my radar. His music was pretty, as was his voice – but his lyrics were richer than I could appreciate.
