Paul Brady, singer, songwriter, musician and producer, has for
over forty years been at the forefront of popular music in Ireland.
Spending the first decade and a half of his career absorbing
influences from Jazz, Blues, Pop, Soul and later Irish folk music in
The Johnstons and Planxty, his dramatic interpretations of classic
traditional ballads such as Arthur McBride, Paddy's Green
Shamrock Shore and The Lakes of Pontchartrain firmly
established him as one of the cornerstones of the new wave of
Irish music and song in the 1970s.
He began to write songs in the early 80s and has since forged a reputation as one of Ireland's finest singer-songwriters, releasing many popular and critically acclaimed records. Songs such as The Island, Crazy Dreams, Nothing But The Same Old Story, Nobody Knows, Follow On, The Long Goodbye, The Homes of Donegal and Paradise Is Here have, over the years, given joy and emotional sustenance to generations of Irish at home and abroad.
Soon after the release of 'Hard Station', his first album of his own compositions in
1981, his songwriting began to come to the attention of artists worldwide and his first 'cover' came the following year when Carlos Santana recorded 'Night Hunting Time'. Since then his songs have been recorded by many international artists including Tina Turner, Cliff Richard, Cher, Carole King, Art Garfunkel, Bonnie Raitt, Joe Cocker, Trisha Yearwood and Phil Collins and, closer to home, Ronan Keating, Joe Dolan, Dickie Rock, Maura O'Connell, Liam Clancy and Mary Black.
Paul is known as a dynamic and passionate live performer whether in the company of his band or in the more intimate setting of solo performance. On this occasion he will be with his band to highlight the release of "Hooba Dooba" his eagerly awaited collection of new songs and to revisit some old favourites.
