Paul Brady
Paul Joseph Brady (born 19 May 1947) is an Irish singer-songwriter, whose work straddles folk and pop. He was interested in a wide variety of music from an early age. He initially collaborated with several major bands, prior to launching a successful solo career.
Initially popular for playing traditional Irish music in a duo with Andy Irvine and later with Tommy Peoples and Matt Molloy, he later turned to a more rock-inspired electric style with poignant political lyrics. Some of his most popular songs are: "Crazy Dreams", "Nothing but the Same Old Story", "The Island", "Night Hunting", "Steel Claw", and "Paradise is Here".
Early life
Brady was born in the small town of Strabane in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, on the border with County Donegal, Republic of Ireland. His father Seán Brady was a music teacher teaching the flute. Brady was educated at Sion Mills Primary School, St. Columb's College, Derry and University College Dublin. He is prominently featured in the documentary film The Boys of St. Columb's.
Paul Brady (handballer)
Paul Brady (born 20 September 1979) is an Irish handball and Gaelic football player. Born in Cavan, he won his fifth Men's Singles title in a row at the 2015 at Calgary, Canada. He defeated Killian Carroll from Cork in the final as the Irish dominated the singles with the four semi final berths taken by Irish players. World Handball Championships. His rivalry with Luis Moreno has been likened to the Federer–Nadal rivalry in tennis but the question must now be asked is there now a changing of the guard. Brady will probably attempt to achieve the record of 12 US National singles titles, which will take him to 2017 and just weeks short of his 38th birthday and at that point may be tempted to retire. By the next World Championships in Alaska he will be 39.
Underage handball career
Brady was introduced to the sport as a 12-year-old by Fr John Gilhooly, a teacher in St Patrick's College, Cavan. While he showed an early aptitude and won an All Ireland Feile title in 1993, Brady didn't win his first "full" All Ireland title until the age of 16, partnering Pauric Kiernan to the U16 doubles crown in 1995. In 1997, he defeated Meath's Carl Browne in an all-Irish 17 and Under final at the World Championships in Winnipeg, Canada. The win was a mild shock at the time, and marked Brady out as an outstanding prospect. The following year, Brady landed the prestigious Minor Singles title, defeating Dublin's Eoin Kennedy for the first time in a marathon final in Roscommon.

Dancer In The Fire
by: Paul BradyThe last time I saw you
Was the spring of '75
And way back then I was afraid
to look you in the eye
Yes even then I found it hard to
To look you in the eye
Come a running to me with your soul in your hand
Like a child who knew no fear
With such a need to be alive
I was scared to get too near
With such a need to be alive
I was scared to get too near
You burned so bright into the night
A dancer in the fire
I wished I had your nerve back then
But I was scared to walk the wire
Yes i was scared to walk the wire
I was afraid to walk the wire
And now it's three years later
You're still eager for the game
But your eyes can't hide the times you tried
To live too near too the flame
Your eyes can't hide the tears you cried
When you got too near the flame.
But to you it makes no difference
Just how many times you fall
For you've seen the freedom through the flame
And you can't resist the call . . .
you've seen the freedom through the flame
And you want to taste it all
You burn so bright into the night
A dancer in the fire
I wish I had your nerve right now
But I'm still scared to walk the wire
Yes I'm still scared to walk the wire
I'm still afraid to walk the wire
The last time I saw you
Was the spring of '75
And way back then I was afraid
Of dancing in the fire
And even now I can't reach out
