PADDY Casey is one of the most successful Irish acts of recent years. He plays a very intimate show at Dolans Warehouse on Saturday July 11 performing all the hits from his previous albums alongside new material which he is working on in the studio at the moment.
Paddy is one of those rare things a musician who truly lives to play music. It fills his life, completes him as a person. It is an energy within him which exerts its own powerful force. That is beyond question. His debut album, Amen (So Be It), released in 1999 caused a huge stir, became a bona fide double platinum hit in Ireland and introduced him to the world with a bang as a highly talented singer-songwriter. And a decade on he is still going strong. Paddy has sold in excess of 218,000 albums, (14 x platinum ) making him one of the most successful musicians performing in Ireland today. The past few years have seen him rise from playing small venues in Dublin, to headline shows at the RDS and Dublin Castle, performing in front of thousands at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff and supporting U2 in Europe and in Croke Park, Dublin. In fact, ‘Living’ alongside U2’s ‘How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb’, were the best selling albums in Ireland in 2004, outselling all other albums, both domestic and international. Paddy Casey is back, there’s a sparkle in his eyes that sits side by side with a gritty determination and a will to succeed and win. Don’t miss your chance to catch him live at Dolans with his talented band. Doors at 8pm and tickets including booking are 18 euro.
