I am somewhat of a new admirer, although a big fan of PVD. I have to say that Stay There is a beautiful song and it has touched me. Your writing is incredible. Thanks for the music!
Well… at the moment i am listening to pvd concert with the orchestra where you sang few of his songs. Just wanted to say that i am enjoying every single minute of it! Wonderfull voice! By the way thank You for the autograph I had great time in O2 last Friday!
I am definitely becoming a FAN!
Hi Johnny, Eamons friend here. Thanks a million for sorting out the SP autographs and the fantastic artwork - you’re a star. Been listening to your stuff - love it. Any plans to do a gig in Derry? S xoxo
I just wanted to let you know that we saw a preview for a new movie called My Sister’s Keeper and we heard Life is Beautiful by Vega4 - very cool. Hope all is well. gini
Hi Johnny
I have no doubt that you will not remember me. My son (Paeris) and his band GunAngel won a competition with Power FM 16th September 2006 and had the fortune to support you at Southampton Guildhall.
I just wanted to say it was an absolute pleasure to meet you and if you are ever looking for a really amazing drummer, P has progressed some what since then, although he is only 14, but you never know.
I have been listening to the Vega4 album a lot recently and I have to say it is one the best albums I have ever bought. I hope all is going well for you - you have the most amazing voice - I think I blurted that out to you on the evening.
Thank you for your brilliant music.
I’m relatively new to your music but I just wanted to tell you what an amazing voice you have. I wish you had an album. I’d buy it in a heartbeat Cheers.
It seems a long time ago now but it was good to see you with Carina Round at the Water Rats. I was with a friend who had not heard of Carina or Vega 4.
She asked me why, with all dross around, why both of you aren’t/weren/t better known.
I didn’t know what to say because I don’t know the answer. Anybody else got a clue.
Dear Johnny, I am offically laying claim to being your newest fan, having met you at the SP gig last night at the RAH. Having had a lovely chat with you by the stage door, I have discovered your site and heard your wonderful music. Hope you are still prancing about like Bambi. A fantastic sentiment. Great gig last night - look forward to more.
I have just joined up as recognised you from somewhere before and cldn’t place you - now I know (from Vega4)! It was lovely to see you enjoying it so much on Monday - you outshone everyone on that stage! :o)
I was watching this amazing video at the gym and swore it was Johnny McDaid from Vega4, but the video tag said it was Paul Van Dyk, only today, by chance, did i stumble upon that video on Youtube and found out that these two guys are collaborators and sound amazing together! I knew Johnny was a bloody genius from Vega4 and knew I would hear more from him someday. So, now I find out that he is from Derry, the same town that most of my relatives are from and how cool is that, we are probably related somehow, some distant great great grandfather we have in common. Anyway, I’m so happy for your success and wish you the very best for the future!
i’ve just recently heard some of your stuff with vega 4…can i just say that life is beautiful is one of the most amazing songs i’ve ever heard. ah if only you didn’t have better things to do, i would want you to play at my wedding…
you have an amazing voice.
Hey been meaning to check since Snow Patrol in bf if you were one of the Derry McDaids! Recognised your mum and dad from Derry and figured either the artful dodger had turned good or your parents were just much cooler than mine! Class to see a local lad doing so well. Btw poker is a synch - all in the numbers and the expressions! You’ll need them both for rock’n'roll… Aine G
I am a long fan of your music.
At the moment we are creating a new commercial website (a dating platform).
For this website i am creating a introduction video like apple does for their products.
I would like to use your Song “Stay There” for the commercial video.
Would you allow me to do that if I show your name and the song name in the video?
How goes it? Its been a long time - 15 round abouts… Anyway - someone told me how well you are doing and I thought I’d check for myself and I wanted to write to tell you how proud I am of you and how happy that I am that you have come this far. As always your music is inspiring and uplifting and your talents seem unending with the different music genres you adopt… It could not happen to a nicer person. Get in touch - We’ll have a beer sometime when Im over in London. Your long time friend JT. Find me on FB / Twitter
I came across Vega4 by accident today on Spotify, at about 6am. It’s been on repeat since then, and I’m pretty sure it will be for a while. I spent ages trying to figure out why the website didn’t work, and why I couldn’t find any new gigs. I found out from a comment on amazon that the band disbanded in 2008. I was literally..gutted, because I bet the music was amazing live. I bet that as a band, you were awesome.
Tomorrow I’m going to listen to your stuff, and no doubt that will stay on repeat also. Please put up some gig dates soon? I would love to see you live.
Jules: Johnnnnnnnnnny.....can you do me a favor a play in Gera while I'm there for work for 3 weeks straight......Could use some ireland in my heart!

Hi John, your talent was always clear, even at Primary School! Are you in Belfast with SP?
I was watching this amazing video at the gym and swore it was Johnny McDaid from Vega4, but the video tag said it was Paul Van Dyk, only today, by chance, did i stumble upon that video on Youtube and found out that these two guys are collaborators and sound amazing together!

John, was great seeing you at the Waterfront on the 9th. What a night! If you heard a few Derry accents calling John, it was me and my brother.
i’ve just recently heard some of your stuff with vega 4…can i just say that life is beautiful is one of the most amazing songs i’ve ever heard. ah if only you didn’t have better things to do, i would want you to play at my wedding…

Hi Johnny,
I am a fellow Johnny McDade - obviously different spelling. I love your voice mate. Very emotive, haunting and nostalgic. Love the vega4 stuff.
I am in Glasgow and think your brilliant fella.
So, from one Johnny McDade to another: “Keep up the amazing work, absolutely ace mate.”
