					Paul, I am a Youth that's inclined to Ramble, a song I've loved for decades, came into my head again recently and on looking on Inernet it says it was written by Cara Dillon. But she was born in 1975 and I bought Welcome Here Kind Stranger in 1978. Do you now who wrote it?

						Hi Tom, It wasn't written by Cara Dillon. It's an old traditional song, author unknown. She may just have claimed an 'arrangement' of it?

Thanks for the feedback!

					At Limerick gig last. We know Paul is top notch. First time seeing Theo and his band. They are very good musicians. Unfortunately  the Paul/Theo mix doesn't quite work. The lads on stage seemed to be having a ball, but that's not what most of us came to hear. Paul on his own or Theo & band on their, fair enough but not together please.

						Hi Brian, sorry you didn't enjoy the combination of Theo and me. Thankfully you were very much in a minority! Thanks for the message, all the same!

					Hi Paul, Want to say thank you, Theo and the band for a really fantastic evening on Sunday at Vicars Street. Rate it as one the best concerts we have been to and well worth the trip from Dorset. Good luck to Bairbre Anne too. Good luck with the other dates

						Hi Howard. Apologies for the tardy reply and thanks for your message. We all enjoyed ourselves big time too. Glad you did. Are you from Christchurch New Zealand? my son lives there!

						Hi Suzan,

Thank you for your message. I'm feeling ADORED and it's nice! No plans to re-visit your country right now I'm afraid. Your immigration and revenue don't make it easy for us European artists. Maybe next year! Keep the faith! Paul.

					Dear Paul



I am wondering and hoping you have plans to come and play in Scotland .. 

thanks Gilloan

						Hi Gilloan

Thanks for your message. There is movement in the direction of a concert of Andy Irvine and me with Donal Lunny and Kevin Burke in Dundee on March 21 though not yet confirmed. It will, however, be a Traditional music program based on our album of 1977 and I wont be singing any of my own compositions.

					Thank you so much for your music!  It is so difficult to put into words just what it means to me.  But your songs have gotten me through difficult times as well as joyful ones.  Just absolutely beautiful, soulful and classic.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  Hoping to get to Ireland to hear you play sometime soon.

					Hi Paul. Glad to see you (and Andy) are still going strong. I read you might be working on a book/memoirs. That is a great idea. Would love to read it.

All the best,

					Hi Paul,

I'm a 26 year old man from Derry.

Just wanted to say you inspired me to play and sing since  I was about 12, although humbled to realise there's no chance I'll be tenth as good as you all these years on!

Keep er lit! 

Ps. Any chance of an acoustic version on hard station?? Can't find one online heard you sing it on radio once, and it blew me away.

						Hi peter,

Thanks for the message and vote of confidence! I might have a go at Hard Station solo. Thanks for reminding me!

					Paul, sadly I have came late to your music after reading the opinion piece by Susan McKay in the Guardian about Lyra McKee which referred to The Island. Thank you - wonderful lyrics and music. Best wishes from the Himalayas

						Hi Roger. I think you're the first to write to me from Nepal! Thank you for your positive thoughts. It was indeed a terrible thing and hopefully not an indication of a return to violence in Northern Ireland.

					Paul,



You'll probably never get to Boise, so we're coming to Ireland in June 2019 and if you are playing anywhere, we will come see you. Thanks for the great music over the years.

					Someone's got to give you and Andy, and Kevin and Dona, for a huge thank you for that fab gig in Cork, last Friday.



It's been a long while since I last/first saw you in the Shaw Theatre in Euston Road ... I think possibly last Friday was even better, as this recent blast is very firmly etched on my memory! 



Indelibly yours :~)

						Hi Helen,

Belated thank you for your message after the Cork gig last October! Your message unfortunately fell through the cracks. I hope you've had a lovely Christmas and that 2019 brings you all you need. Paul B.

					Hello, Paul.  I just found out you were in Chicago last month and I missed it ! Aaaaarrrgghh!  Do you usually tour the U.S. in the fall?  I'll try to keep up with the tour dates in the future.  All the best -

						Hi Vicki

Apologies for the late reply to your message. Yes I was in Chicago. Sorry you missed it! I don't really have a pattern to tour USA. Just whenever it seems like a good idea! Hope you're having a lovely Christmas.

					Hi Paul. Thought I'd use this opportunity to thank yourself and Andy Irvine for a career in Traditional music. 

I was fifteen and taking guitar lessons with my Telecaster and my AC30 when my teacher moved away and my new teacher, a great, but unknown acoustic guitarist called John Petrie converted me to acoustic and I never went back. I asked him what I should be listening to and he gave me yours and Andys post Planxty album and my life was never the same again. This album led me back to Planxty and I became a bit of a tribute act. Perhaps I was tapping into my Irish roots, but that album was an epiphany and I've never looked back.

Keep up the great work you do and thanks a million for the music.

						Thanks Tom. Epiphanies are great! Glad you're enjoying the music.

					Been a fan of yours since 1981 when an Irish friend gave me the newly released Hard station. Totally envied your skill on the guitar which I used to play then. Got as much or your stuff as i can find. recently become addicted to The World is what You Make it as it chimes with my present life circumstances. Problem is the version I am addicted to is the 1996 session you played on 'Later with Jules Holland' with John Ilkleu, Liam Genocky and Kenny Craddock. far and away the best version for my money, so joyful.. Was it ever issued on a CD compilation or anything
					
					
						
							Admin Reply:
						 
						
						Hi Jacqui, thanks for the message and glad you like The World Is What You Make It. The original recording is available on my CD 'Spirits Colliding' and on a 'best of' CD called 'Nobody Knows' Both are available in hard copy via mail order or to download from https://paulbrady.com/shop/

let us know if you have a problem?
