Ailbhe Reddy: ‘I'm pretty blessed but coming out wasn't that easy’

"I wish I had taken the chance getting into music sooner — a chance on myself. I was cripplingly shy as a teenager, so I never did any gigs until I was 22."

Ailbhe Reddy: new album 'Endless Affair' is out now.

WHEN I was in my late teens, I thought I was going to be a teacher so I don’t think I was born to be the person I am.

You can meet someone and they’ll completely change the course of your life but I don’t think that’s because of fate. It’s mostly chance and hard work.
