					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

					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.

					Hi Paul,

Heard the interview on Rte at Claire Byrne's show. I follow you from northern Spain since I found a 2nd hand Back To The Centre record at a Temple Bar old record shlp in late 90's. I was glad to hearing from you and hope to see you in good form at the Vicas St gig. 

 Slàn.

					Hello Paul

Just heard your new album "Maybe So". Really great and moved me a lot. This is the music that accompanied my life particularly intensively and emotionally in the 80s and 90s.

Thanks for that.

I switched back to vinyl. It would be nice if this album would also be released on vinyl.



Greetings from Diekholzen (Germany)

Ewald

						Thanks Ewald. Glad you like the record. We had hoped to have it on vinyl too but we’d have to wait 9 months. Global pressing plants are full up.

					Hi Paul.

Thank you for a fantastic evening at the National Opera House in Wexford yesterday evening. Been waiting for the opportunity to listen to your live performance since the Hard Station days and you certainly didn’t disappoint. You even gained a new fan in my wife Marta who was extremely impressed by your musicianmanship and singing.

					Hi,

You were in great form at the Town Hall Galway on Friday. I think “If it wasn’t for the crocodiles. I would sleep out in the woods”

Is a great line. Hope you’ll be back soon.

					Hi Paul, I was just thrilled to see last night that you have reissued the album The Green Crow Caws. It is a real favourite of mine, and it was great to be able to buy it online. I have an old scratched LP which came from my mother's collection. It still plays--just! But the download is a real treat to have, and sounds better than ever. (My vinyl copy of Hard Station is still in perfect condition, and enjoyed frequently of a Friday evening here in Redcastle!) Thank you so much for all your wonderful work and talent, we have always been huge fans in this house. I hope you and yours are keeping safe and well. Beir bua agus beannacht

					Hi Paul, what a Show! We were overwhelmed by the power , emotion  and obvious  fun you seemed  to have, too.. Yes, it was us  in the Restaurant. and front  row. We were so happy to see you and your wife there in good health and we did not want to disturb your privacy. I am sure we come over again to see you somewhere soon. All the best to you and Mary!

					Hi Paul, we're listening to your music since more than 30 years and always wanted to see you live. As we never saw concert announcements in Germany, I finally bought tickets for the Athlone show as a christmas gift for my wive back in 2019.  COVID let to postponements and we're now finally ready to fly to Dublin on Friday this week. I hope you're recover soon from COVID and you're able to play Athlone. We cannot wait another 20 years! All the best and good health soon!

						Hi Uwe. Thanks for your message and thanks for taking so much trouble to come to Athlone after all the cancellations.  Was that you and your wife in the Radisson hotel restaurant  in the afternoon and front row of the concert? I so enjoyed being back singing. Hope you enjoyed the show. Paul

					Hi Paul, just to say that 'the lakes of Pontchartrain" is probably one of my favourite songs of all time.. I mean your version. Out of curiosity, I had a look online to see if there was an original version but I couldn't find one. But anyway, if there were, I'm sure it wouldn't be equal to yours, because it's not only the song or melody. but the way you use your voice, so meloncholically and  emotionally. ( I feel that those two adjectives don't really express what I mean ,😂) but I can't find the right ones.). Anyway, your songs.and voice are amazing. Thanks a million for being in my life!!!! ❤️

						Thanks Terry. It was good to find a song that was such a great vehicle to carry that indefinable emotion. You couldn't but feel that you are in the story with lyrics like that!

					Hello Paul,



Being a PB fan is always full of surprises.  I was watching some Youtube videos and I decided to play "The Lakes of Pontchatrain" and I look up and... "Wait... is that the guy from Vulfpeck!?!?"  Keep the surprises coming.



All the best,

Brendan



P.S.   

When things get something back to normal, We'd love to see you on the West Coast.  I can't believe I missed you at Yoshi's last time you were here.

						Indeed you are right, Brendan. Theo Katzman and I did a bunch of shows in Ireland back in 2018. You might have missed that another VP member, Joe Dart on bass was also in the band. Louis Cato on drums and Lee Pardini on keys rounded it off. I had a ball. there are other tracks from those gigs on Youtube as well. Enjoy!

					Can't wait for tonight's concert at the Festival Hall. Those Johnstons' days seem very far away now but I was 17 and am  now 70 and still loving the music and my husband of 51 years who introduced me to it.

Hope you enjoy the show as much as we  will.

						Hi Jane, thanks for your message. Yeah, The Johnstons takes us both back! I hope you enjoyed the London show. I did too. My daughter and grand daughter were there which made it special. Keep enjoying the music! Paul

					Hi Paul,

I absolutely adore your songs = The World is What You Make It, Nobody Knows and Nothing But The Same Old Story. I find I connect with the lyrics on a deeper level. I wonder is it me or was there an intention on  your part to have an esoteric aspect within those songs in specific? I also find that in other Irish artists songs.



If my intuition is correct, I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the testing times we have faced these past two years. 



Best wishes to you and yours, 



Regards, Christine

						Hi Christine, thanks for your message. Glad you like the songs. There isn't a particular esoteric aspect to them. I guess we all have a spirit and I'm just trying to express mine. These times have been very hard on all of us. I'm not sure what to make of it all. I think isolation has been the worst thing to deal with. I'm delighted to be back out playing for people!  Stay well, Paul.
