Damien Croft was born in Belfast, Ireland in the mid 60's during the height of the IRA Split. Bombings and riots were commonplace during this violent history, but Damien's parents were adamant about bringing up their only son as a true Catholic, and took a dim view of the violence against them by their own people. Unfortunately, at the age of 6 in 1970, when the Provisional IRA declared a 30 year war on the British, both of his parents were killed by a bomb that was planted in the United States Embassy.
