Cant Find My Way Home | Single | 2017 | |
One Way Ticket Time | Single | 2016 |
His music has been referred to as having a West-of-Ireland, Celtic, Adult Contemporary style.
With a debut independent single release (English + Irish version) in October 2016 Padraig Jack received significant national radio play on RTE Radio 1 with John Creedon, Cathal Murray and Fiachna O Braonain. His music is now regularly played on RTE Raidió Na Gaeltachta and is also played on Raidió na Life, Raidió Fáilte and BBC Radio Ulster. Padraig made his national live TV debut in 2017 on TG4. His first national tour took him around Ireland and he received two award nominations for NÓS Music Awards and he was shortlisted for the prestigious Pan Celtic music award for his debut single. He has since released his second single “Can’t Find My Way Home / i bhFostú sa bhFiántas” which has again received much airplay and has only reinforced his reputation as a singer and songwriter of substance in both English and Irish.
With support slots for The Saw Doctors, Donal Lunny, Mick Flannery, The 4 of Us and John Spillane behind him, Padraig has also begun to familiarise himself with the festival circuit in the North and South of Ireland with appearances at the Westport Bluegrass Festival, SOMA Festival in Co Down, Liú Lúnasa in Belfast and he played a set in the MindField area in the Puball Gaeilge tent at Electric Picnic. Signs are at the end of 2017 that the word is spreading with Padraig Jack playing headline shows to a large crowd in Club Aras na Gael in Galway, a sold out show at the Castlebar Wild Atlantic Words Literary festival and ending the year with an Irish tour culminating in a magical night in a packed out Crane Bar in Galway.
As well as being nominated for four Gradaim NÓS Awards in early 2018 (including ‘Song of the Year’ and ‘Artist of the Year’) Padraig won second prize at the Pan Celtic National Song contest in 2018 for ‘i bhFostú sa bhFiántas” and had another song, “Brú Do Bhealach Féin” feature in the RTE 1 documentary Lig Liom which was broadcast in March 2018. Padraig is currently recording his debut EP with John Reynolds (Sinead O Connor, Brian Eno, Damien Dempsey) in the UK with plans to release it early in 2019.
