Harry Bradley (musician)

Harry Bradley (born 1974 in Belfast, Northern Ireland) is an Irish flute player.

Overview

He began playing tin whistle at age 12. He went on to flute in his early teens inspired by local musicians and the early recordings of Irish music made in America. He received further inspiration from local flute players such as Noel Lenihan, Michael Clarkson, Sam Murray and Brendan O'Hare.[1]

He has toured Europe and America both as a solo performer and teacher, and as a member of groups such as Dervish and Cran. His debut solo CD, Bad Turns and Horse-shoe Bends, was released to broad critical acclaim and was chosen as the number one traditional album of 2000 by Earle Hitchner of New York’s Irish Echo.[1]

Bradley is also a dedicated uilleann piper and has served as a member of the board of directors of Na Píobairí Uilleann (NPU), the society for uilleann pipers, where he taught the instrument.[2]

He was elected TG4 Musician of the Year in 2014.[2]
