Mike Brady

We welcome back the wonderful Mike Brady to the Saucer Stage this coming February. Mike will be entertaining you with songs from his latest album ‘Bloodlines – The Australian Irish Story’ which is a collection of original songs, some with traditional feel and some contemporary but all with the ring of truth which is the Irish way. This album will stir any person with the slightest drop of Celtic blood in their veins. It is uplifting, it is sad and it’s very reflective. Amongst the musical stories are tales of fisherman, loggers, immigrants, and a number of Irish Australian topics. Be sure to book your tickets early for this one folks!

‘Bloodlines – The Australian Irish Story’ was produced by Mike Brady along with the brilliant guitarist Steve Cooney and Mike’s brother Doug, the tracks feature some of Ireland’s finest musicians including Steve Cooney, Martin Hayes, Christian Brady, Odhrán Ó Casaide, Robbie Perry, Dermot Byrne, Donnchadh Gough, Liam Ó Maonlaí, Laoise Kelly and Tony McManus. There is also a guest appearance by William Barton on didgeridoo.

‘I truly believe that Mike Brady is not only one of Australia’s underrated talents, he is one of our most unrecorded talents.As a writer he is exceptional and as a singer, he is unsurpassed. His Irish/Australian album is truly magnificent. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did’
-Russell Morris.

‘Bloodlines, a collection of Irish/Australian story-songs composed and recorded by Mike Brady is the most fully realised album of his career. Brady’s choice of Irish and traditional Australian instruments is essential to the spirit of these powerful, moving stories. His sensitive vocal treatment brings each song to life’
