Patrick "Paddy" Reilly is an Irish folk singer and guitarist who was born in Rathcoole, County Dublin. He is widely regarded as one of Ireland's most famous balladeers and is best known for his renditions of "The Fields of Athenry," "Rose of Allendale," and "The Town I Loved So Well." In 1983, Reilly released his version of "The Fields of Athenry" as a single, which became the most successful version of the song. It remained in the Irish charts for 72 weeks. After years of performing as a solo artist, he joined The Dubliners in 1996 as a replacement for long-time member Ronnie Drew. He played with the group for nine years before moving to New York City. In this memoir, Paddy generously shares his memories, both good and bad, with the readers who have contributed to his status as Ireland's best-loved balladeer for nearly 60 years.
