Brendan Grace - Biography
Brendan Grace (born 1 April 1951) is an Irish comedian and singer. He is known for his comedy schoolboy character "Bottler", the role of Murphy in the 1995 movie Moondance, and his 1996 appearance in the Irish TV sitcom Father Ted as Father Fintan Stack.
At the age of 18, Grace formed a band known as The Gingermen and toured Ireland, in what has become known as the showband era of the '60s, although The Gingermen were a folk group rather than a showband. During a gig one night, the band found themselves two members short and, in an attempt to calm an anxious crowd, Brendan was thrust upon the stage to humour them. His wit and razor sharp observations of daily life in Ireland immediately won over the crowd and since then he has been selling out venues around the globe. Brendan has shared stages with many well-known names, such as Frank Sinatra, who referred to Grace as his "man in Europe", and John Denver, among many others.
Grace married Eileen Doyle in 1973. They have four children, one of whom, Bradley Grace, is a member of the American hardcore punk band Poison the Well.
In November 2009, he released his autobiography, Amuzing Grace. He now divides his time between his home in West Palm Beach, Florida, US and his pub in Killaloe, County Clare, which he named 'Brendan Grace's Bar'.
On 3 July 2019, Grace was diagnosed with Lung Cancer, and is receiving treatment.
