The singer from Rathcoole just finished a UK tour during which he played in Belfast for two nights.
Taking to Instagram he thanked fans for coming to the show and shared that he still feels honoured seeing people wear his merchandise and sing his songs.
“And just like that, the UK tour is done! Thank you so so much for the last three nights in London. It’s funny when you post stuff on here, cause you try to keep it short and sweet so it can be hard to explain certain things, but I really do appreciate people being there so much, whether it’s 300 or 30,000.
“I looked into the front row tonight during “The Corner” and saw so many people wearing my merch and singing along. And I just thought to myself how insane that is. That people would wear a t-shirt because they connect with the emotions I put in my music. That they share the same idea as me.
“It’s never lost on me, and I’m constantly trying to figure it out up on those stages. How it’s worked out like this, with all this shared emotion. So thank you so much, I can never express on social media how much it means to me every single night X.”
Kennedy also had a moment of disbelief when one of his own hero’s came to see his show in Manchester. Manchester United icon Roy Keane showed up leaving Kennedy speechless.
The Giants singer shared a snap of the two to social media, both absolutely beaming following the “surreal” encounter.
Dermot uploaded the snap captioned; “Can’t explain what it means will not attempt to explain. Roy Keane came to my gig last night. Very very grateful indeed for a surreal moment.”
Not only is the Dubliner a huge Man U fan, but he has credited Keane as one of his biggest life inspirations.
“Roy Keane has inspired me more than anyone since I was a kid” he said online in February.
“I may move in a different field, but I took so much from him in terms of attitude and how to approach the things you’re most passionate about.”
“You get out what you put in, and the results will always reflect your effort. I can only hope to inspire someone in the same way.”
Kennedy, who began his UK tour in the city on Monday night, admits that he has some decent soccer skills himself.
Over the last few years, he has taken part in Soccer Aid and even won Man of the Match in last year’s game!
