Hi Paul
Have loved your music for many years (or decades!) and know I’ve seen you live, back in the late 1980s at the Limit club in Sheffield. But I can’t find any record of it online. Can you confirm you played the Limit, probably 1987 or 88? I know it’s going back a while so no problem if you don’t recall! Thanks, Mark

Hi Paul,

What a generous forum to makle yourself availabel to fans! I read Crazy Dreams - it's a wonderful read ,and led me back to the music you've created over the years. And then I saw you in Dunlewey. Again, thanks for your generosity in playing a small intimate venue (and with reasonable ticket prices.) It was a night of magic, not just for me, but for the whole audience. I play several of your songs (on my windowsill in the West End, just beside Frankie McKiernan's). I thought for many years "Blue World" was apout a relationship and used to play it with that in mind - always had an angry feel to it. Then discovered in your book that it's a riposte to the provos - changed the whole complexion of the song -I play it now with much more joy! Anyway - thank you for your music and your book and the wonderful 2 hours of magic that you gave us in Dunlewey! Long may you run.

Hi Paul, I've been an admirer of your work for many years. You write great "memorable" songs with strong storylines. Top shelf my friend!

Hey Mr Brady, I just wanted to let you know that your music means a lot to me. I only discovered it about five years ago but when I delved deeper I noticed you wrote one of the songs that has been there for all of my life: 'Luck of the Draw'. My mother used to put it on when I was a little kid and I distinctly remember the backing vocals during the chorus! Having become a musician since, I can't express how much the sentiment expressed in that song resonates with me, and arriving at it by first hearing 'Hard Station', your legendary folk repertoire and some other albums was a hell of a ride. I hope to see you live one day to top it all off 🙂

Paul,
Delighted to see you are playing in Gweedore in August, looking forward to seeing you.
Best Regards

Happy birthday tomorrow, Paul! I'm playing a few of your songs and recordings on my radio show this morning in Minnesota. Cheers to you for another fine musical year ahead !

Cheers, does your Mother come from Ireland? ❤️ My Mother did, and my Father. I miss that connection to Ireland, but I can listen to you and feel closer them. God bless.

Hi Paul, we're back to Germany and still full of memories and joy from your fantastic Saturday concert at Vicars. So good to see you and your old bandmates playing together and having so much fun on stage. Opening with "Soulchild", one of my all-time favourites! Thank You for this. Unforgettable.

I first heard Crazy Dreams when I was about 14 and I remember asking my father who sang it. He said "Paul Brady - his mother was my school teacher". I was stunned as the song had really struck a chord with me.
I too had grown up in Strabane and I was starting to realise that there was a world to explore.
Fast forward 40 years and the university I work in in Dublin has recently bestowed Paul its highest honour in recognition of his contribution to music.
A year later I finally get to see him live for the first time, at a music festival in Ireland where everyone I spoke to said Paul's set was definitely the highlight of the 3 days - even the rain couldn't change that! The fact that he was singing those amazing songs and then talking to the audience in our home town's accent made it extra special and it brought me right back to the day I first heard Crazy Dreams.
Next weekend I'll make it to my first full Paul Brady concert and I can't wait! It's going to be amazing .

Thank you for your reply. 🍀
