Back In The Saddle
Hi all. Apologies for the long absence. I decided to take some time off in the first half of 2018 so there hasn’t been a lot going on to talk about. I’ve been traveling a lot too which keeps me busy.

Back In Japan
I'm back in Japan, just around the same time as last year. The weather is completely different this time. 21℃ mid afternoon. T-shirt weather, as we say at home. I've one gig behind me and again I'm left wondering what these lovely people see/ hear in me. Because listen they do. Scarily so.

Paul Brady interview with Jason O’Toole in Irish Daily Mail Jan 8th 2011
While it could not come close to eclipsing his musical achievements, Paul Brady’s reputation as something of a curmudgeon precedes him. So when I find him in a loquacious mood at his South Dublin home, it is both a surprise and relief. Indeed he says that he wishes Van Morrison, his Northern contemporary, ‘was a bit happier’. But Paul is not a man without his own darkness. … [Read more...] about Paul Brady interview with Jason O’Toole in Irish Daily Mail Jan 8th 2011
