NCH Landmarks: Paddy Casey

In this occasional series, leading Irish artists perform their landmark album and music from their career.

​​​​​​​As part of the NCH Landmarks series at the National Concert Hall, Paddy Casey returns to Dublin for a special night celebrating the albums that defined the early chapters of his career. This landmark performance will see Casey revisit Amen (So Be It) and Living in full; records that not only shaped his own musical journey but left a lasting imprint on Irish music.
 
Having been at the forefront of the Irish music scene since his multi-platinum selling debut album Amen (So Be It), Paddy Casey’s career has taken him all over the globe touring with acts like The Pretenders, R.E.M, Ian Brown, Blondie and Tracy Chapman to name a few. Closer to home he has played all over Ireland, including a sold out Dublin Castle, RDS and a record-breaking week long run in The Olympia Theatre, alongside special guest spots with U2, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan and more.

Paddy Casey’s hugely successful debut album Amen (So Be It) achieved many international highlights including tracks being featured in hit television shows such as ‘Dawson's Creek’ and ‘Roswell’ alongside extensive American and European tours. Further establishing himself as one of the country's most successful artists, his second album Living went on to become one of the biggest ever selling albums in Ireland (approximately 15 times platinum in its first year)

This was followed by the release of Addicted To Company, Part 1, with this album seeing Paddy Casey continue to tour across America, performing on The Late Show with David Letterman, securing a week-long slot on MTV. After the release of this album Paddy Casey decided that it was time to part ways with his record label and go independent in order to let himself and his music veer off in any direction the wind carried them, resulting in his first release The Secret Life Of and his last double album Turn This Ship Around a resounding success with both the albums reaching platinum status.

Paddy is currently mixing and getting ready to release the first single from his (as yet unnamed) new album due out this summer.
