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

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, … [Read more...] about Back In Japan
