Paul Brady has been at the forefront of Irish music for over fifty years. Moving effortlessly through blues, jazz, pop, country, and traditional Irish music, he has forged a rich and varied career through numerous musical collaborations. He began writing songs in the late 1970s and has since become one of Ireland’s most respected and influential singer-songwriters.

His work has resonated far beyond Ireland, with his songs recorded by international stars such as Tina Turner, Cher, Bonnie Raitt, Santana, and Phil Collins. Bob Dylan, a long-time admirer, once described Brady—alongside Leonard Cohen and Lou Reed—as one of his “secret heroes.”

For Irish Wings, Paul will revisit some of the favoured songs from his back catalogue and some Balkan music, first explored on his groundbreaking 1978 solo album, Welcome Here Kind Stranger—a record now regarded as a classic in the Irish tradition.
