Paul Brady

Paul Brady, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist is one of Ireland’s most enduringly popular artists. Born in Strabane, Northern Ireland, on the border with the Irish Republic, he was exposed to a wide variety of music from an early age. A Fifties child, his first sounds were the Swing, Jazz, Show tunes and light opera of his parents’ generation. Then Rock ‘n Roll, 60’s pop and Motown, Blues, R’n’B and Country and Western. Through all this ran the potent flavour of Irish traditional music and song.
