ASK AN ARTIST: Padraig Cahill

What is your favourite song to sing? 

I have to say I think my favourite song to sing, especially on the road, is Someone You Love by Lewis Capaldi. Everyone likes that, it’s one of those songs. Well, its kinda getting overplayed a bit, but I still love it. 

Can I buy your CD online?

So, unfortunately, at the moment, you can’t buy my CD online. I’m still trying to figure out how to do that. It’s a lot of work, to be honest. I might have a single coming out soon so that will be cool. 

How long have you been singing for?

I’ve been singing for about two years now. I started in second year and I’m in fourth year now. So, yeah it has been about two years now. 

Who is your favourite singer/songwriter and why?

I have to say I think my favourite singer/songwriter is Gavin James. I’ve always listened to him since he started. Nervous was the first song I ever sang and I love him. 

Favourite part about singing?

The thing I like most about singing is just enjoying the music I’m playing, I love it. The buzz you get off it, especially playing live, it's unbelievable, you can’t beat it. 

What days do you play in Dublin?

I play in Dublin on most Saturdays and most Sundays. I try as often as I can.  Sometimes on Fridays or any time, I can get off school. In the summer I’ll be busking a lot more, so that's when you can get my CDs.
