Paddy Dennehy – Little Light (CD)

Product Description

Title : Paddy Dennehy – Little Light. Format : CD. Release Date : 12th June 2020

Paddy Dennehy’s debut album ‘Little Light’ has been a long time coming. He began performing in 2013 and made quite the first impression: his first gig in Dublin was on the Late, Late Show; his first gig with a band was at Electric Picnic; and his first gig in Cork was at the personal invitation of Glen Hansard to join him on stage at the Everyman Theatre to sing ‘Hard Times’. His forthcoming album “Little Light” draws from a much deeper well than his first attempts. Song by song he tackles religion, parenthood, love, and loneliness through a mixture of character driven stories and personal recollections. Over the past seven years these songs have been taken apart and put back together again, leaner and more concise. He has honed his stagecraft by supporting Irish stalwarts such as Imelda May, Lisa Hannigan and Mick Flannery , headlining venues such as Cyprus Avenue and Dolans Warehouse, and by performing at major festivals across the country. The release of his debut album ‘Little Light’ looks set to be a highlight on the Irish musical calendar.
