The name of Johnny Brady appears on many of them.
One of the more unusual things undertaken by Johnny in recent years saw him reach new heights. He took part in a parachute jump at Galway airport. “It was an exhilarating experience. It was a tandem jump with an expert in that field from New Zealand. I also went up in a micro-light plane in Carrickmore (Tyrone) at a later date and that was some experience too,” says Johnny.
The annual RTÉ Irish Country Music Awards, in association with the Irish Farmers Journal, takes place this Friday night, June 24.
