radio one tonight played 'paddys green shamrock shore'. it sounds as good as ever, the great mandolin of andy really sets it up. a question; is the song in copyright? the lyrics? my reading online it
seems to have some US owner.

Glad you enjoyed hearing it again Edmund. The recording copyright info is
Traditional arranged Brady/ Irvine.

Paul, reading your biography and really enjoying it. Long ago, (‘70s?) I attend your one man show in the Project Arts Center in Dublin. It was a small venue, and you sang, played piano and guitar, no one else on the bill or with you. It was wonderful and caused me to become a life long fan. Do you have any recollection of that evening? James.

Hi James, I do remember that gig. it was back in 1980 or maybe '79. It was one of my first ever solo gigs where i featured some of the songs that later became my album Hard Station. I remember I got a review that said my songs were 'mawkish'. That hurt!

Hi Paul,
Just finished reading your book. What an honest account. You set a high standard. Hope you make it to Galway in the new year.
Peace and Love

Found you in my quest for new Irish music. New to me, you've been around a while, I guess. Since visiting Ireland in 2019 uniquely Irish music sounds good to this Californian. You have a beautiful, melodic growl that sounds like it comes along many miles from the heart...Come stateside, as I don't know when I'll be over there again. Good on ya.
Admin Reply by: Paul Brady
Thanks Jack. I used to visit California regularly but not so much recently. Your country's immigration and revenue people make it really hard for Irish artists to play there. Glad you enjoy my music. Paul

Hi Paul.

I am a relatively new fan but have been surrounded by your music all of my 30 years. My dad always played it in his restaurant in Co Armagh along with Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and other greats. He has impeccable taste.

I was just in Seattle visiting some friends and got a chance to see Bonnie Raitt. I was praying she would play Not the Only One and she did as her second last song - I had tears in my eyes it was so beautiful! Every time your name comes up my dad boasts 'He stole my pint' as he claims years ago when he saw you live (I think at the Spirit Store) he went to the toilet and when he came back you were standing where he was sitting at the bar and his pint was gone but you were sipping on the one and the same. We always laugh about this.

Anyway, looking forward to your memoir and thank you so much for the music.

Hi Rosa,
Thanks for your message and kind words. What a funny story. I can't claim it was impossible it happened! But if so it was an error. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! 🙂 Glad you've enjoyed my music over the years. All good wishes, Paul.

Hi Paul, Dromore GFC in Tyrone are writing a book Dromore St Dympna's Club & Parish. It includes a piece about Mollie Brady and unfortunately the photo with it is in a poor condition. I have sent the piece to peebeemusic@gmail.com
and was wondering if you had a better photo that you could photo with a phone and email to martinmcglone@gmail.com.
Admin Reply by: Paul Brady
Hi Martin, sent a couple off to you. Hope they work.

Hello again Paul. It’s come across a couple of clips on YouTube - Forever Young wth Dublin Choir, you’re in fine voice and look like you’re having a ball! It was one my late wife Vivienne’s songs, especially with the Rolling Thunder Revue band.
Also lovely subtle duet with Kate Rusby, am great fan, have couple of her albums.
Your own Follow On is a great favourite of mine - great lyrics very emotiona to me no matter how many times I hear them, remind me so much of the happy times I spent for almost 50 years with the love of my life Vivienne before losing her in 2016.
Looking forward greatly to seeing you in Bangor in August.
Regards and best wishes, GergeM

Fantastic seeing you with Andy in Vicar Street! Would have loved to have seen the gig with Theo too. Many legends. Thanks for the Aurthur McBride transcription on the site too, putting the evening in nicely.

Hopefully catch you again, maybe in Australia 😉

Cheers for the music!

Hello again Paul, just heard the latest single release - absolutely superb as is the accompanying visual promotion..
Also came across the clip of you and the Dublin Gospel Choir doing Dylan’s Forever Young - one of my late wife Vivienne’s favourite songs.. You are in fine voice and look as if you’re having a ball!
Lovely subtle duet with Kate Rusby - I have a couple of her albums.
Can’t wait to hear you in Bangor in August.
Regards, GeorgeM

Paul, we enjoyed your wonderful performance in the Watergate tonight along with the full house of dedicated followers.
What an amazing evening of song and instrument playing. From 8pm sharp until 10.15 you gave the performance of a lifetime.
Wishing you continued deserved success and may we continue to enjoy your wonderful talent..

Thanks Teresa and Judy! Sorry this took a while. I so enjoyed the Watergate gig. The audience response made it easy for me! Paul

Amazing lifetime of work, thank you.. Welcome here kind stranger, what great acoustic playing.

I wonder if you still have that old Yamaha guitar from '77.

Have a good one.

Hi Paul, my last live concert pre-Covid was your show in Newry Town Hall in September 2019, and my first post-Covid was Dunlewey on Saturday 23 April '22....Absolutely amazing return to live music in the most spectacular setting you could imagine. Helpless Heart and Wheel Of Heartbreak are absolutely stunning solo live. So difficult to pick an all-time favourite PB song but Steel Claw and Oh What A World are definitely up there. Would love to hear Maybe Tomorrow live sometime too. Thanks for the music! Danny

Thanks Danny! Dunlewey is some place! Glad you had fun. Glad you enjoyed the show!

Paul,
When we were all in lockdown I had 3 live acts I wanted to see 1) Dylan (again) 2) Springsteen and 3) Yourself. Amazing I got the opportunity to see you in Dunlewely for the Saturday night performance (and got a signed album + photo). It was an amazing gig, with life-affirming performances. Haven't been able to stop trying to play Arthur McBride since. Looking forward to the chance to see you again.

Thanks Ben. Must say I’m so enjoying my gigs now. Lucky to still be doing it! Paul
