Paul Brady

Welcome

Welcome to the Paul Brady website. ‘About’ takes you to a biography, the lyrics of all my songs, all my musical collaborations and former incarnations, a list of the many artists who’ve covered my songs and the songwriters I’ve co-written with over the years. There’s also a Press and reviews page so you can see what you’re letting yourself in for. Tablature for some of my acoustic guitar arrangements appears under ‘Misc’.
Visit the ‘PeeBee Store’ to listen to or download CDs and individual songs. Purchase CDs and DVDs by mail-order. Download printed music. Find lots of rarities, live concerts, out-takes, b-sides, alternative mixes and demos not available anywhere else. Check out the gallery and videos section to see some of the dodgy haircuts and shapes thrown over the years.
Like to leave a comment? Please sign the ‘Guestbook’. If you want to be kept informed of my activities then please add your details to the mailing list. For a different angle on things check out my Facebook music page.

Thank you for visiting us. Paul Brady

Paul Brady live at The Pavilion Theatre

Hi all.

January 18th & 19th 2013 I played the Pavilion Theatre in Dun Laoghaire, County Dublin. We recorded the shows. The 19th Jan show is now available to download from the website as a complete show or in 4 separate sections. Both options come in a choice of 320 or 192 kbps MP3 formats.

Enjoy!

Back In Japan

I’m back in Japan, just around the same time as last year. The weather is completely different this time. 21℃ mid afternoon. T-shirt weather, as we say at home. I’ve one gig behind me and again I’m left wondering what these lovely people see/ hear in me. Because listen they do. Scarily so.

Mind you, you learn a lot about yourself and your art in this country. Freed of, deserted by all the musical and lyrical frames of reference that cloud the issue in the English speaking countries, Ireland in particular, you’re left with nothing but the sound you make and the way you look. There is no shared cultural memory which has made so many of my songs resonate with the Irish diaspora and those other cultures it has intermingled with. No musical commonality that I can see beyond, I suppose, a shared love of the best in American music of the past century which has also left its mark on me. A response therefore is visceral, fundamentally human, instinctive. When it comes.. and come it does in spades, I come face to face with myself in a way I never do elsewhere. I end up feeling more human, a basic individual giving voice to a spirit as old as time. But in truth I’m as far from fully understanding what it is as ever…and end up forced to accept that whatever the signal is, it’s bigger and more complex, yet primitive and universal than my take on it.

Former High School Honour for Paul Brady

On Friday October 7th I was presented with the 2011 Alumnus Illustrissimus award for distinguished past pupils by my old school St Columb’s College, Derry ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Columb%27s_College) . The award itself is a beautiful piece of sculpture by my friend the late Eamon O’Doherty representing the voyage of St Columba and his fellow monks to the island of Iona in the year 563 AD. Previous recipients of the award are:Read More
