'Love is a friendship set to music'.
The music on your wedding day is a deeply personal and integral part of the ceremony and beyond. Whether spiritual and sacred or quirky and eclectic, music is the language of love and can be the catalyst to transform your special day into a truly memorable occasion.
Brendan McCarthy will ensure that, from start to finish, choosing your music will be relaxing and stress-free. He will personally help you to determine which pieces will suit your particular needs and will also source other musicians if required. Flute, trumpet, guitar, piano and keyboards are all available upon request.
Brendan has a wide musical remit and can accommodate virtually any request. Lyric and /or operatic pieces, sacred and religious music, show tunes and popular songs are all elements from which Brendan draws his repertoire.
Brendan is a classically trained tenor with many years experience on both stage and screen. He studied singing with Paul Deegan at the Royal Irish Academy of Music and is a member of one of Ireland's premier professional musical ensembles. He has won the Joseph Robinson Prize and was a runner-up with distinction in the National Music Prize for Singing.
Appearances include- The Rose of Tralee (1998 & 2003), All Ireland Hurling Final (2005), Ireland vs. USA (IRFU) and a number of performances in the National Concert Hall and the Waterfront Hall in Belfast. Brendan has performed with Niamh Murray, Ronan Tynan and Anthony Kearns.

I never thought I would cry on my wedding day, but when I heard Brendan sing "You raise me up" as I walked up the aisle I couldnt contain my emotion! It was magical. There wasnt a dry eye in the house. Even my husband was crying! His voice is one in a million. If you are looking for a singer who has a fantastic sense of humour and is so talented, then Brendan is your man. From the bottom of my heart Brendan thank you. You made our day truly unforgettable!!

hi, just had to post some comments about Brendan McCarthy as our wedding singer for our wedding day. He was absolutely brilliant!! His voice sounds very like the singer Andrea Bocelli (probably spelt wrong!) and I can honestly say I had extra tears(first tears were for my new hubby!) in my eyes listening to him sing the hymns we had chosen. I felt he really brought something special to our mass as his voice is so heartfelt. While we were signing the register he sung a song called 'This is the moment' and truly it was the moment - I can't describe it, it was magical. I would highly recommend him. He was great choosing the hymns too as we weren't sure exactly what we wanted but he was able to recommend some lovely hymns/songs we hadn't even thought of. Very helpful. As he has done lots of weddings too he can kind of give you a feel as to which hymn or piece of music goes best in different parts of the mass. As you can see we were extremely happy with our choice of wedding singer! Good luck to everyone, fifi
