Biography
02/10/2009 By Bernadette O'Grady
“Bernadette O'Grady is a singer-songwriter from Northern Ireland, who now lives in West Wales. She began performing and writing songs, whilst living in New York, influenced at the time by both Irish and American artists. Her material ranges from contemporary storytelling songs to more reflective and soulful songs, performed with honest emotion.
Bernadette gave a highly entertaining interview, and beautiful live performance, on The Evening Show (BBC Radio Wales). Her own song 'Dead Man's Shoes' and her delightful cover version of Bob Dylan's 'Don't Think Twice' also received airplay on the show.
Other live performances have included playing at Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Tenby Folk Festival, and London's premier acoustic night, On Stage at The Halo. More recently, Bernadette gave an exquisite ninety-minute headline performance of her songs at Soundbites, Llanidloes.
One of her songs is featured in the new independent Irish film, JAM, which will be shown on Ulster Television (UTV) in October. Bernadette's new five-song EP, “The Heart of the Matter”, will be released in the Autumn.”, Rob Tiernan (RT Productions).
