Brendan Wade

Brendan Wade is a singer of Irish folk songs from Wexford Town in the south-east of Ireland. Typical Irish music is in his blood - his grandfather was already a musician. Brendan Wade first learned to sing, only then to speak properly. He was part of the band "Cry Before Dawn", which enjoyed great success in the 1980s ("Best new act" in 1988, "Best Irish band" at the Irish Music Awards (IRMA) in 1990). The band released two albums - both of which went platinum.

Brendan now lives in Switzerland. He performs with various bands such as Inish and Bow Triplets. He also works as a songwriter for various Swiss and Irish projects. The gifted singer has mastered various instruments, including uilleann pipes, banjo, guitar, wooden flute and bodhrán.
