Hi Paul
Just finished the book. Loved it. Took me ages to read it though
between checking things on Google and listening to songs on U tube !
Im sorry I cursed your publisher several times for not adding an index.
Thanks for ALL the music. Yours is still the definitive version of Arthur McBride.
Keep her lit.

Love your voice, your melodies and your lyrics. Please, please, come to the U.S., and not just City Wineries/major cities.... we have some beautiful venues - theaters - throughout Florida which are acoustically perfect for your work! Would love to see you at Florida Theater in Jacksonville. Tailor made for you. Ask Bonnie and Jackson, they can attest. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Your book made my Christmas. I recall chatting with you at the bar of the Royal Oak in Ealing Broadway back in the summer of 1969. Not long after I saw you with Dermot O'Brien and Tony McMahon rock the Old Spieling one Sunday night. I think it was an impromptu session but it was brilliant. Maybe I dreamt this. But thanks again for the book and keep on trucking.

Paul thank you so very much for your wonderful concert in Perth which I took my son Cristin to. One song which had me in tears you played on the piano I think you said it was a visiting song but I am hard of hearing. I would love to hear it again one day and know the title. Slainte Cree

Brady - thank you for all the music you have given us and Yes..........still in great shape after all these years.
Take care of yourself.

Hi there Paul, T'was a magical night with you guys at Perth Concert Hall, I was too shy to say hello afterwards, but really did want to thank you! So here I am. Its rare to find such a warm, friendly atmosphere as we had in the hall that night and I hope the rest of your tour is great too. All the best to you guys, Claire .

Dear Paul, my thanks to you and Andy, Donal and Kevin for a magical concert in Perth on Saturday. It was a great privilege to hear those songs again. I first saw you and Andy in the National in Kilburn, must have been about '77 when the record first came out. It's been a great source of pleasure and inspiration ever since. Best wishes for the rest of the tour. Sincerely, Pete.

Paul forgot to mention that I was at the gig in the stadium 1983 where you supported Eric Clapton and I was a budding amateur photographer which I still am and took many photos of you with piano and guitar at that gig.

Hi Paul ,
Hope this finds you well . Just coming to the end of your most absorbing book , well done . I. kind of feel I have shared the journey a little, buying all the releases since Hard Station right up to the current cd as they came out ,and even back filling the trad lp s , attending a fair amount of the gigs solo or with always superb bands in Limerick , Ennis , Dublin and the early festivals . It’s been always more than brilliant , , thanks

Strange coincidence previous book I read was Miles Copeland s bio !

Best. Regards
John

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.
