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. 🍀

I am filled with regret and bursting with joy at having only just discovered your music. The Island is what I heard first...was gobsmacked. Making my way through the whole catalogue now and promise to come to IRE to catch a future show. Many thanks and all best wishes.

Hi Paul,
I am travelling from South Africa to see you on the 17th April at Vicar Street Dublin and bringing along some of my friends. Its going to be another one ticked of my bucket list.

Hi Paul!

Just found your page and wanted to send you a wee message to say hello and thanks for the music. Your versions of Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore and Arthur McBride are two of my very favourite songs. All the best!
