Paul Brady + John Smith

Enduringly popular Irish singer-songwriter whose mellifluous tones and passionate folk songs straddle four decades and numerous genres. His roots lie in Irish tradition, as proved by his membership of The Johnstons and Planxty plus classic duets with fiddler Tommy Peoples, but since the early '80s he's tried to settle on a mid-Atlantic style of country-funk. Still plugging latest album 'Hooba Dooba'.
