The Green Crow Caws

In 1978, Shivaun O’Casey, daughter of the celebrated Irish playwright, Seán O’Casey, approached me with a project to record an album of songs from his plays ... not as singer but musical director, arranger and in some instances composer where music didn’t exist. She had already engaged Seán Murphy, as director and producer of the project. O’Casey’s plays were full of songs … [Read more...] about The Green Crow Caws

Back In The Saddle

Hi all. Things are moving very fast. Last week I played guitar and piano onstage for the first time since the Gig For Gaza in Dublin’s Olympia Theatre last September. A month ago I wasn’t sure if I’d ever play again. I’m finally realising that I can do it now. Still stiff and a little sore but getting better all the time. But I wasn’t expecting to be working so soon. I had … [Read more...] about Back In The Saddle

I won a gallon of whisky in a talent competition, when aged 16. My dad confiscated it and it’s been downhill ever since!! (My dad didn’t drink so maybe he gave it away? I’ll never know. Not even a sip! ☹️)

That’s a beautiful acknowledgment of your early talent.💚

And you never forgot where you started. X humble is admirable. And rare so well done Paul

We saw Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples in Sydney Australia about 6 weeks ago, and they were both fantastic. Bonnie did your song Luck Of The Draw. Enjoy!

I love that: “Marriage made in Hollywood”! ♥️

I love Bonnie Raitt especially when she sings your songs!

Looking forward to it ...hope you are joining her for Not the Only One 😁

One of my favourite songs ! And Bonnie always a class act . Been a fan for over 40 years , have seen her every time she's toured New Zealand .

Hi Paul Brady Music we saw her at the Blues and she said you were great friends. She sang careless whisper cover 💖

Went to Hyde Park (BST) 2018, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor and Paul Simon's last ever concert, ah sublime ❤️

Fantastic! Great vibe between you

Raging I couldn't get tickets for this and I expect I'm going to miss a special guest appearance too..☹️

Your buddy Curtis Stigers is touring over to Ireland too. ❤️🎶❤️

Love this!❤️

Will you be joining Bonnie on stage ?

So sad to hear of the death of Tina Turner. I’ve loved her voice all my life, long before I was ever privileged to have her sing my songs. Rest in peace, dear lady. ... See MoreSee Less

Is this 1985 at the RDS? Because I was there and saw/heard you sing together. It was amazing ❤️

RIP 😢She truly was one in a million ❤️ I’m sure shes joining the Great gig in the sky

Paul - that footage of Tina performing Steel Claw on the Tonight Show is an epic memory to be able to revisit and it’s sadly become even more precious now - I’ve always loved the fact that there’s an Irish connection to the Private Dancer album.

Such a legend and inspiration ! And best legs and amazing energy ! RIP Tina Turner .

She was such a brilliant entertainer. I always loved her version of Paradise is here and it weirdly made me proud that she (a global soul and rock legend) covered a song by an Irish man.

Tina, David Crosby … both covered your superb work Paul… Saddened at the loss of both these great artists. Rest in peace.

Steel Claw my favourite. I loved her. She was an inspirational woman.

Just listening to Paradise is Here - a wonderful woman - so sad x

I love her version of 'Paradise is Here'! RIP Tina

Respect to you Good Brother Paul 👍

So sad. She was a legend. RIP great lady❤

You were the first person I thought of when I heard this sad news Paul...sorry for your loss.

Great memories for you great times you both seem to have had 👏

Amazing, unique talent combined with strength, courage and dignity. Simply the best. What a loss to the world.

There'll never be another like Tina Turner, I loved her version of "Paradise is Here", and "Steel Claw", but also very proud that they were written by an Irishman... R.I.P. Tina 🌹 x

RIP Tina. A true lady with an incredible voice.

Inspirational. What a come back she had from Ike 👏

Simply the best x may she rest in peace.

What a brilliant woman she was some voice

RIP Tina!

I'd say you've had many a proud moment Paul but that must have been special hearing her sing your songs

A lovely distinctive voice!…Great to have her record your fine songs!…Safe journey Tina…See you down the road!🎶🥂🙏

May she rest in the clear light of her own awareness🙏🏻

Beautiful picture of you both Paul

Steel claw. Great dancing Tina, rest in peace
