Paddy is in his late 70s, and has a repertoire of around 200 Irish songs, many learnt from his family as a young person growing up on the family farm in Co. Monaghan, Ireland. Paddy moved to Australia in the 1970s, and has only recently got back into singing. We recorded an album's worth of songs which you can hear on Spotify (by typing his name into the search function), and in this podcast, Paddy talks about one of the songs we recorded, The Stately Woods of Truagh. The discussion moves backwards and forwards between Ireland's history and Australia's, and Paddy reflects on the importance of Survival Day.
