Paul Brady is one of Ireland's most
enduringly popular artists.
A Fifties child, his early heroes were Jerry
Lee Lewis, Winifred Atwell and Fats Domino.
After living in London and New York City in
the early 70s Paul returned to Dublin to join
Planxty, the premier Irish folk band of the
time. This was the band that was to launch
the solo careers of Andy Irvine, Liam O'
Flynn, Donal Lunny and Christy Moore.
After an acclaimed solo folk album "Welcome
Here Kind Stranger" (1978) which won the
Melody maker Folk Album of the year, he
released "Hard Station" in 1981 which was an
original reworking of his earlier influences.
The albums which followed established Paul as
the pre-eminent Irish singer-songwriter of
his generation. Â
In 2001, Paul released 'The Missing Liberty
Tapes' featuring a lost live recording of a
Paul Brady concert in Dublin in 1978. The
classic record also features Andy Irvine,
Donal Lunny, Liam O'Flynn, Matt Molloy, Paddy
Glackin and Noel Hill.
In August 2002 RTE television, Ireland's
national TV station,filmed a six programme
series featuring Paul's music, called 'The
Paul Brady Songbook'. Shown to acclaim in
Ireland the series is now available on a
three hour DVD.
In 2004 Paul recorded in Nashville, the
result of which was the 2005 released album
'Say What You Feel' an organic and fresh
sounding record, mostly cut live and in one
or two takes at most per song.
