About Padraig Jack
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
My brother and I were about 5 and 3 respectively and once we were in the car with the whole family and we were singing two-part harmony/duet-ing the Queen/Bowie song 'Under Pressure'.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Barry Ronan, Tráth
Emmylou Harris, Wrecking Ball
Van Morrison, Moondance
Moondance is my favourite album, Van is the best Irish songwriter, Wrecking Ball is a close second and my dads album Tráth is a trailblazing album in the Irish language being an Irish language pop/rock album recorded in the early 80s.

“Making Sand (feat. Nicki Leighton-Thomas)”
I wrote this song about the Aran islands, where I'm from, it's really special for me as it touches on the history and culture of the islands and the Irish language is a big part of life on the island. The success of this song meant so much to me.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
Opening for The Saw Doctors in the Big Top at Galway Arts Festival the day before Galway played in the All Ireland Final, it was actually easier to get tickets to the match than it was to the concert! The sun was splitting the rocks in Galway too!
