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.

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
Derek

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 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.

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
