I knew Paul Brady in 1984- Dire Straits Tour -and thanks to my friend Rossa, who gave me Hard Station as a present.
Since then, Paul has been always in my playlists, as part of my life. Incredible songwriter and fabulous traditional Irish music singer.
My sister lives in Limerick, but I missed the chance to see him live some days ago.
I wait impatiently until next chance
Thanks, Mr. Brady for all the good songs.

That was a virtuoso performance in The Venue in Rathoath last night Paul. It was a real treat being there in such an intimate setting. From the early material like The Jolly Beggar and Lakes of Pontchartrain to the more recent classics like Crazy Dreams and Nobody Knows, your voice and musicianship continue to stand out. A call out too to your very good guest support, Eimear Crehan.

Hi Paul, I first saw you in Strabane when I was 19/20, and I loved your music immediately, I'm so looking forward to tomorrow evening in the Forum in Derry to see you again, ive had your music as my soundtrack for 35yrs now and it's been a constant comfort all this time. I've been indoors for a number of years due to health problems, seeing you live will be my first outing since before covid. Thank you for your amazing music. Have a great nite on the 12th Oct 24 Derry.

Found your album Back to the Centre in my vinyl collection with no recollection of how it got there! Put it on, thought it sounded good and decided to learn more!

Hello Paul. Taking my dad (70 next year) to see you with my brother and sister at Ulster Hall in October. We managed to bag front row seats - cannot wait. Our first time seeing you, but not my dads. Had a look at some of your recent setlists and noticed you don't tend to play Arthur McBride these days - can we persuade you? 😉

Listened to your 80s stuff the whole way from Belfast down to Cork on my honeymoon there recently. Scottish hubby now a huge Paul brady fan.

Lots of love,
Rosa

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
