Glad you're enjoying it. We had fun making it! Stay safe! Paul
Yeah, it's been a tough year! Have a good and Covid free Christmas, Bill
Years ago, in what seems like another lifetime, I was in a folk trio in Dublin called the Ryecatchers (with Paddy Finney and Sandy McClintock) and we did a small tour with the Johnstons and Sweeney’s Men. After the last gig in Limerick, there was a party for us all at Mick Moloney’s house, and I remember to this day that you sang at the piano a lovely song that you had just written called ‘Brilliant’ or ‘Brilliance’. Did you ever record that song?
It was very good to meet you again at the Vicar Street concert celebrating the 40th anniversary of your album with Andy Irvine. Your music has been a constant source of enjoyment to me and my family over these many years.

Paul, any chance you're going to rerelease the original Hard Station (non American Remix) on vinyl?

Don’t think so Richard. Sorry. Thanks for asking.
Having just discovered your music I'm blown away by your back catalogue. What a voice, what a song writer and what a player. Thank you for your music.

Hey, Jono. Always good to welcome somebody new to the party! Glad you like what’s going on with me. I’m just trying to have fun. Hope you do too! Paul.
Heard Paul's version of Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore on Irish Pub radio - love it... Any Idea what harmonica is used in that song - maybe not a harmonica???
Admin Reply:
Hi William, thanks for your query and sorry this took a while. Andy Irvine, who played harmonica on my recording of ‘Paddy’s’ ( in F#) says it would have been a Hohner "Cross Harp” in key of B played in 2nd position.
Me and my mate are late starters on guitar, and we have our own rendition of Steel Claw that we play at open mic. Please, will you tell me what is the Steel Claw??? Pardon my ignorance. I have been singing this song since the 80's and do not know it's meaning. Thank you. You are loved here in Wyoming.

Hi Linda. Thanks for your message and honored you’re covering Steel Claw. The Steel Claw is the brutal system that grinds us down and keeps us in our place. Who knew? 🤓 Stay well in these times. Paul
Hi Paul, when are you across to Los Angles- we R originally from NI, relations of a famous poet (Seamus) you have a lot of fans here- dinner at my house in Cheviot hills!!

Hi Tony. Thanks for the message. Sounds attractive! It’s not looking likely I’ll be in LA in the foreseeable. Not exactly easy to visit USA these days.
Paul, I've just bough your CD Andy Irvine/Paul Brady, and am enjoying it immensely. It takes me back in time, me being an old folkie. I will have to get some more of your fine music, that's for sure.

Hi Rob,
Paul, decided to listen to 'Working at Christmas' on playback today - don't care that it's only November, it's been a tough year. Underrated song. Take care, Bill
Admin Reply:
Glad you like it. Personally, I think it's under rated too! :-))
I think I tried to post this before, but I don’t think I was successful.

Hi Dave, remember the Ryecatchers well, though the night in Limerick escapes me. Could the song have been Brightness She Came? If so you can hear it at https://open.spotify.com/track/67c3axPJbzMbNVMV3VcX5s?si=t1a85iDpR--YSUwqsOW7dQ
Paul - many , many thanks for your session in the NCH last Saturday night - just magic - pity you could not hear us clapping
Admin Reply:
I felt it, all the same, Paul. It was a unique experience, I'll give you that. But I enjoyed it in the end. Thanks for buying the ticket!
Paul I regret I missed your NCH concert, are there any plans to make it more widely available? PS We also being from Derry used to holiday in Bundoran in the 60s, I think our parents were friendly. What hotel[s] did you play in there? Many thanks. John
Admin Reply:
No plans just yet, John, but we're talking about it. I played the Holyrood back in the early 60s. Heady days! Paul
Paul, the live show from the NCH on Saturday was inspired as well as your choice of guest. Such great choices of songs and great to see you performing again. MORE!!!! Thank you - what a gift to celebrate the US result.

You’re a long way away from Donegal Michael! We’d drive through Ballintra on our way from Strabane to Bundoran when I was a kid. Glad my music is bringing you closer! Paul
Just wanted to say a huge thank you Paul ❤️

Hey thanks Mooch! I was happy to be back doing what I do. It’s been almost a year! Glad you enjoyed it. Paul
My husband Kevin and daughter Katie watched you live from NCH. tonight.You could not hear us but we were there clapping singing and at times crying. What a gift you were given and what a gift it is that you willingly share. We have followed you throughout your career. Thank you PJ Brady. Our world is what you made it...

Hi Paul, I hope you are keeping well! Just bought tickets to your Belfast show in March for my sister's 23rd Birthday. Both big fans and can't wait! Great to have something to look forward to in these times.

Hi Clara. Sorry this took a while! Thanks for buying the tickets. Hope the gig actually goes ahead!! It all depends on the dreaded Covid. Anyway. Keep up to date for info on Facebook Paul Brady Music. I’m doing a live stream concert from NCH Dublin on Sat Nov 7 if you can’t wait till March! Here’s a link. https://link.dice.fm/Zu1GzmKJzab
Listening now to Arthur McBride all these years from from THAT album, I am struck by just how perfect the vocal, guitar, arrangement and recording is. A very rare thing indeed. For someone who reveres great performances this is one of the greatest. Very special.
