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

Unfinished Business

https://youtu.be/Z5Sgj6aSuL4 This is my first record of new songs since Hooba Dooba back in 2010. It’s been rattling around me for the past three or four years.

The record business was changing drastically over that … [Read more...] about Unfinished Business

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 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 😁

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!

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 ❤️

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

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..☹️

Love this!❤️

Will you be joining Bonnie on stage ?

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.

A pure  legend and classy lady you will never be forgotten ❤️.  Rest in peace Tina your music will go on forever 🙏❤️🎵

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

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

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

Awesome ❤️ your fabulous and all your incredible songs are timeless. Thanks for sharing Paul

My fave tune..love it...still great after all these years👏👏🥰👏👏👏

What a joy to see this, thank you, you are the master!

Awesome 👍 way back on the day I had the pleasure of playing support with my fellow bandmates to Paul and his wonderful band around the time Hard Station was released. Total class Paul..

Thank you, Peggy Grennan for this fantastic clip! And happy birthday! from a fan in Cape Breton.

One fantastic artist, have loved Paul Brady's music all my life, I will get to see him yet please god 🙏 and like a fine wine he's sounding better than ever 👏👏

Loved the concert. And "If it weren't for the alligators, I'd sleep out in the woods" is one of the best lines in all of traditional Irish music!

Man he must have felt it when he wrote that tune. My all time fav. Comming from the north of Norway, trying to make a living in the south back then, I can relate to every word. Ireland or Norway… Nothing but the same old story…

A gr8 song that so many of us Irish can identify with

Love it! ❤️Hope To see you in cork soon❤️

Brilliant. I was lucky enough to catch the Athlone show and can't wait for the next one 👍

Saw you in the Rialto Cinema in Derry many years ago

One of my favourite tunes of my favourite album Hard Station 👍. Jim Graham

Great show on Thursday!

Went last night great show

Love it! Still got that edge :)

One of the greatest songs penned by an Irishman or woman. ☘️

The stand out song from the brilliant Hard Station album, delighted to see Paul has lost none of the "Fire Inside" over the years!

Belated happy birthday!

Any chance you'll be back to the US in the near future? NYC is a little far out...

The Voice of God !

Shalin Liu Performance Center???????????

Belated Happy Birthday Paul from Donegal 💚💛

…. and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!💚

This was fantastic! So glad to have been there to hear. Bravo!!
