John Brady
John Brady is a flute player and composer from Offaly.
He won the All-Ireland flute title in 1967.
He has published a book of 32 tunes called 'By the Slopes of the Longridge'
It is hard to find information about John and we don't have a copy of the book at hand.
We do know that he composed a well known hornpipe recorded by Chris Droney as Bell Harbour but it's actually called The Killeigh
You can hear a short clip of him playing the tune here
