Padraig Jack

Padraig Jack writes and sings meaningful songs on guitar and piano in Gaelic and English. Having played numerous headline shows and toured Ireland and the UK extensively with Sharon Shannon prior to lockdown, the pandemic caused him to postpone shows including his Galway, Dublin and London album launch shows, an appearance at the world famous World Music Festival WOMAD as well as an Irish tour with Damien Dempsey and solo tours in the UK and Germany. 2022 started with Padraig writing and recording with Irish music legends Foster and Allen and he performed with the duo in Dublin’s Pepper Canister church in March 2022. He also joined Damien Dempsey for a sold-out Irish tour including in the Iveagh Gardens in front of 4000 people. He had a hit record with his song ‘Making Sand’ in summer 2022 as it was Number One in the RTE Airplay Chart for 4 weeks in a row leading to appearances on The Miriam O Callaghan Show and The Ray Darcy Show. Padraig started a residency show ‘Making Sand the Show’ on Aran in summer 2022 which will return in 2023.
