Paul Joseph Brady (born 19 May 1947, Strabane, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland) is an Irish singer-songwriter, whose work straddles folk and pop. He was into a wide variety of music from an early age. During his career he has passed through several major bands and on to a successful solo phase. Brady began performing as a hotel piano player in Donegal at the age of sixteen before becoming a guitarist, during the 1960s, in two rhythm and blues bands: Rockhouse and the Cult. There followed a stint with The Johnstons as a guitarist and singer that ended in 1974, and a shorter one with Planxty that saw Brady touring extensively but recording no albums. In 1976, Brady recorded an album with Andy Irvine that he now regards as his best. Welcome Here Kind Stranger, released in 1978 was the summation of his interest in Irish music and was followed in 1981 by Hard Station, Brady's engagement with commercial rock.

Eamon Friel is from Derry in Northern Ireland. In the year 2000 he issued the album “Word of Spring”. It received a great deal of critical praise and substantial radio play particularly in Britain on programmes like BBC Radio 3’s “Late Junction”. Two of the songs were covered by Sean Tyrell and Bill Jones. “I was encouraged by its reception”, says Eamon. “So much so that I am writing the best songs of my life at the moment. I am a three song a year man if I’m lucky but I seem to have hit a purple patch of late”.
