Harry Bradley was born in South Belfast in 1974. He discovered Irish traditional music through popular recordings of it and was encouraged by childhood holidays in rural Co. Down where there were a small group of players still drawing on local musical traditions. The vibrant 78 record recording heritage from the 1920s and 30s has had a huge influence on his personal playing style as has the playing of more contemporary exponents such as Seamus Tansey, Dessie Wilkinson, John Carty and piper Seamus Ennis to name but a few.

To date Harry has recorded two solo flute CDs "Bad Turns and Horseshoe Bends"(Outlet) and "As I Carelessly Did stray..."(Claddagh Records) and a trio recording with Jesse Smith (fiddle) and John Blake (guitar/piano/flute) titled "The Tap Room Trio"(Claddagh Records). He appeared as a guest musician on Altan's "The Blue Idol" CD.

Harry now lives in Dublin where he teaches flute regularly at Na PÌobairÌ Uilleann headquarters. He is also a dedicated Uilleann piper and a member of the board of directors of Na PÌobairÌ Uilleann.
