Damo Goes Back To His Roots... All round musical ledge Damien Rice may have lost the super talented Lisa Hannigan from his backing band but he deffo hasn't lost his affinity with nature and all things planty. We recently caught up with himself and a bunch o’ Trinity students on a tree planting excursion in Dublin City Centre. Altogether: ohmmmmmmm... Damien Rice Housewife's favourite hippie hunk Damien Ricecakes was back home in Dublin recently proving he's no Rootless Tree. We caught up with the "I don't pose for photographs" star in Dartmouth Square getting down with a spot o' horticulture and a few student types. As you do. Damien Rice For the internationally renowned singer's singer was doin' his bit for the environment by planting an assortment of fruit bearing trees (apple, pear, and the like) in the inner city park with a couple of his chums and the lads from Trinners. Proper bleedin' order too... Tree Power folks! Damien Rice Now at this point you're thinking that our Damo was merely reinforcing that worn out stereotype that he's a level 3 vegan tree hugging hippie type of chappie that doesn’t eat any living organism that casts a shadow. Not at all. The worthy exercise was all in aid of St Vincent De Paul - a charity we should all be supporting in these extremely tough economic times. Bravo Sir Rice. Damien Rice So there you have it. If you want to get a rather media weary Damien Rice out in public for a few snaps you gotta make sure it's for a good cause and ensure he gets to get down and dirty with a few leafy friends... Damien Rice Wonder could we get Damo, bikini clad Georgia Salpa, Louise Kavanagh & Nadia Forde, and a few shrubs to pose on Grafton Street one wintry morn? Damien Rice Says Put Hand On Chin

And she wont. :( Fred – Kerry October 09, 2009 - 09:20 Damien Rice never needed Lisa Hannigan she was just a backing singer with a nice voice. His career is doing fine without her and she is only famous now coz she was his backing singer. Lisa owes him for her career and not the other way around!
