This much I know: Brendan Murphy, singer

For me, the aim is to write at least one song that outlives you.

Having hits like ‘Mary’ and ‘She Hits Me’ has been incredible. Growing up in Newry, I remember hearing songs that gave me the same type of feeling you get when you are falling in love with a person.

They had a huge emotional impact on me and I thought how fulfilling it would be if I could create something like that, something that people would prefer to listen to rather than pure silence.
