Let's make this birthday one to remember.

75 years old (Born on January 30, 1950)

Happy birthday, Paddy Keenan! May your day be filled with more joy than a lively jig and fewer surprises than tuning those mischievous uilleann pipes. Your legendary performances with The Bothy Band have inspired countless musicians—and probably frightened off just as many neighbors trying to nap nearby.

Here's wishing you another year of piping perfection, timeless tunes, and endless applause. You've proven that age is merely the number of reeds you've replaced over time—each one marking yet another unforgettable melody shared around the world. Keep squeezing magic from those bellows; you're truly Ireland's gift who keeps on giving!
