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. In that time I released the ‘Paul Brady Anthology’ and ‘The Vicar Street Sessions’ so I wasn’t doing nothing.. but I wanted to take my time with a new record. 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

Back In The Saddle

Hi all. Apologies for the long absence. I decided to take some time off in the first half of 2018 so there hasn’t been a lot going on to talk about. I’ve been traveling a lot too which keeps me busy. Just to say first that I really enjoyed the Delbert McClinton week long Caribbean cruise in early January. Meeting old friends and making new ones while playing and listening … [Read more...] about Back In The Saddle

Not a chance! Paul is only 39!😎

Same old story and crazy dreams. Worked in London in the 80's.Friend of mine played your songs in a pub most weekends. Great Times.

Happy birthday Paul. I interviewed you once on Dublin City FM. Favourite Paul song?? Same old Story always appealed to me, especially when I lived in London (not that I had those tough experience of the older emigrants) and now I'm living abroad again (Switzerland this time) any songs about living away from Ireland appeal. If I was to interview Paul again, I'd ask him how he switches so easily from genre to genre.. trad-to pop- to rock etc.. Not many other singer songwriters can do this. Homes of Donegal another great song, and we should all be grateful for the influence Paul had on Bob Dylan, both of them do a killer Arthur McBride.. So many good songs over the years

His unique interpretation and delivery makes any song he sings sound spectacular. Crazy Dreams, Arthur McBride (absolutely iconic version), and of course The Island. Ever since I first met Paul Brady in the 95 Club in Harcourt Street (around 1968) and heard him sing Duncan and Brady I've been an ardent fan. Gifted musician and singer/songwriter.

Tough one! I'll say Arthur McBride for now and come back with one of Paul's own songs when I've had a chance to think about it.

Happy birthday! «Nothing but the same old story» saved AND changed my life!

The Island - makes me cry every time 👏👏

Happy 75th Birthday Paul. Hope you can play “Marriage Made in Hollywood” Great story song

Walk The White Line and Soulbeat, both from his great Back To The Centre album. Can you be streamed (asking as I live in Australia).

Crazy dreams best Irish song ever . Happy birthday Paul have a great old day.

nothing but the same old story, was on an Irish rock compilation I have and I just love it as a song. Also love The Island as it's a very poignant song and last but by no means least airwaves from back to the centre as it has Larry Mullen Jnr of U2 playing the drums on it and I'm a massive U2 fan also.

The entire Back to The Centre album resonates with me. It is still one of my favourite albums ever. Follow on in particular reminds me of a certain happy time in my life in the late 80’s.

Happy Birthday Paul Brady what a talent you are We have been at quite a few of your concerts here in Dublin Carlow and London down the years always top drawer concerts thank you

Have a good one Paul. Thank you for answering my letter when I was going through a horrendous break up, long time ago now, it helped me so much your advice and words. "A flowing glass will be drained"

One of the most outstanding Irish singer song writers of our time happy birthday Sir and good cheer to you

Happy Birthday Paul, you have given us such great much over the years. The new album is brilliant, I would expect nothing less.

Happy birthday Paul! I’m with the rest of the gang… The Island, Follow on, and the Homes of Donegal. Your music helped me through some tough years in London 💕. Thank you, Paul .

Happy birthday Paul. You must have your parents Sean and Molly's genes .Bundoran air in your youth would have helped!

Happy Birthday 🎁🎉🎊thanks for all the great concerts and continued success in all you do.

What a man saw him play in ballina mayo only one time it was fantastic may good health follow him for years to come

Paul Brady just gets better with age.

Happy Birthday Paul. Love all the songs. The Island is extra special 🎉🎉 🎼 🎵 🎶 👏👏

Happy birthday Paul from your cousin Brian and family in Omagh 😀. Fav song is 'The Island '

Met Paul Brady at Dublin airport lovely man great music

"The Homes of Donegal" because he sings so passionately and truly! He knows!

Hello Paul. I will be at the NASC event in Marley Park with my daughter. I really look forward to seeing you. You have given me so much joy listening to your music. It would mean the world to me to say hello to you. I have just been told I have cancer. If I can't meet you, could you dedicate a song to me. Thank you so very much for your wonderful music.

Playing with John Sheahan and Mundy on the Late Late Show this Friday on RTE1 TV. We all share the same birthday May 19th. I’m playing mandolin with John on his famous composition ‘The Marino Waltz’ and with Mundy on his song ‘Mexico’. I’m singing ‘Follow On’ and they’re all joining in. Should be a gas! ...
