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. Just to say first that I really enjoyed the Delbert McClinton week long Caribbean cruise in early January. Meeting old friends and making new ones while playing and listening … [Read more...] about Back In The Saddle

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. Mind you, you learn a lot about yourself and your art in this country. Freed of, … [Read more...] about Back In Japan

Former High School Honour for Paul Brady

The award itself is a beautiful piece of sculpture by my friend the late Eamon O'Doherty representing the voyage of St Columba and his fellow monks to the island of Iona … [Read more...] about Former High School Honour for Paul Brady

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

PB & Bob Dylan

A correction to the Wikipedia Paul Brady page...well at least one of the dozens of inaccuracies that need to be fixed...is the supposed quote from Bob Dylan saying I was "One of only five artists in the world worth getting out of bed for." BOB DYLAN NEVER SAID THAT!!!! If anyone has any input to Wikipedia will they please remove that? It was some jaded, jaundiced hack in … [Read more...] about PB & Bob Dylan

The end of recorded music?

Yesterday in the Irish High Court, a judge ruled that there was no law presently available to him to force ISPs to cut off users who used the ISP bandwidth to illegally download and share music for free...not just a song or two but on a commercial basis. This is a very serious issue...and possibly the end of the recorded music business. It's wrongly criticised by people who … [Read more...] about The end of recorded music?

Great read and amazingly honest. I listened to the music as I went, most I knew, some I didn’t and some I’d forgotten.

Loved the book very informative

It’s a good read.

Paul - I loved it- such great memories- Continental Trailways Bus 🚌 added to my playlist. It was a fantastic look at the music scene and the juggle of family life. Getting the PhD in the room you skived off from exams was a gas 😂😂👍👍thanks for the music- come entertain us in Perth WA

A great read 🥰🎸🥰

Loved your book Paul Brady Music for the insights into the harsh, ugly side of the music industry but more particularly into the whole creative process.

Highly recommend this autobiography , am so enjoying reading it ! Lots of ups and downs along the way to being one of Ireland's best known singer songwriters ! 👍👍👍👍👍

It's a great read, for anyone interested in Paul, Irish Music or just music in general. A great musician, and also a great writer.

I loved it! Highly recommended!

A very enjoyable book.

Lol I love the bit where Phil l, got your guitar n ows a few bob on it , the chances of getting it , , I guess nobody knows,

Santa gave it to me for Christmas! A fantastic book I really enjoyed it , !

Highly recommend this book. Well done Paul.

Thanks for sharing such transparency and honesty. What a journey!

Just ordered from Munro Books in Victoria BC. Can't wait! xo

Just picked up the book at Dublin book store and just started getting it going.. FYI, ran into mutual friend Renee Lawless at Tradfest concert and she told me she is coming to NYC but not sure it's the same time as you at the IAC.

😎🇮🇪🔥

Brilliant song.. 🎶🎙

Well that's so much better.

Love this!❤️ 🎶

Think you should bring Tina out of retirement and record a duet of Steel Claw Paul. It would be the ultimate two worlds colliding. My growing Rock Wall. Awaiting an arrival of yourself for that blank spot at top between the Queen of Soul and The Boss. Watch that space.🎶😉

Much prefer this!

One of my favourites

Love it 😊

Yes, that one.

Looking forward to seeing you in Waterford again

Yessssa!!

Tina who?!?!?

Best one!

Class…

OMG! I’ve never seen this performance before. A song I wrote about an imaginary character who frequented the Meeting Place pub in Dublin’s Dorset St certainly took another turn when Miss Turner got a hold of it! ... See MoreSee Less

I love how you can still hear the Paul Brady phrasing in the way she sings it. That has to be a rush for you to hear/see her perform it.

Wowzers Paul Brady Music Not many people can say Tina Tuner covered one of their songs !!!🤯🤯🤘

OMG! Is right. What more would you want as a song writer…. Great song. Great singer. Great band. We’ll done Paul.

Tina is about the only singer who could do justice to most of your songs. It would have been wonderful to hear the two of you singing it together, trading verses. What a performance! I saw and photographed Tina on her first visit to London after going solo, at the time of What's Love Got To Do With It, and it was in a small venue. I was the only photographer there and for some months I was the only person in the UK who had photos of the new style Tina but no chance to get them to a music mag.

Brilliant song Paul. I could watch that video all evening.

Know the sing well. She captured it well....your phrasing still there...were you unaware that she did this? Hope she gave you credit for the song....she and Jagger must have gone to the same dance school!🤣 been in love with your music for decades. I have vinyl that I brought back to the US with me. Guys in music store made fun of me. Asked me if I knew what a CD was!

Paul Brady Music Big congratulations. It speaks for itself when your masterpiece and music gets chosen by Tina and performed across the USA and the world. 👏

Great song.It still sounds like your song .She was an amazing performer .No one like her.

Paul, didn’t we see you perform STEEL CLAW at CITY WINERY in NYC a few years back? If I remember correctly you threw your back out doing those mid song jumps.

A woman of taste! She likes your songs eh? Her cover of Paradise is Here was also very good. Though, I prefer your own versions of both.

I could not love this more! What a great song! What a great delivery. and then I watched a video of you doing it, which I equally loved. Thanks for starting my day off with a bang!

The one female singer that I would loved to have seen , Rest In Peace Tina I hope you are with all rhe other great,s up there .

OMG, I used to go to the Meeting place, I swear I never had a steel claw tho'.😎

Brilliant song... great tina❤️

Great cover of your song too by Dave Edmonds, Hi Paul, hope you’re good… slow reader, but I’m still making way through your amazing book …. 😉

Love it. Always have. Great performance . Fantastic song, Paul. Be proud.

Sensational .. but I still prefer the Paul Brady original !

What an incredible performance of such a great song! Never seen that either. I saw you perform this at the BBC4 singer songwriter event at Porchester Hall… any chance of seeing that recording?

That energy.. brilliant

That is class!! Great song Paul and to have her cover it just shows what a talent you are!

Love it Paul Brady Music I saw you ar the Swindon leisure centre and you were amazing 👏

Still hear the paul in there when she say crazzzzzy

Brilliant song- so very Paul Brady! Xx

Nothing beats an original but Wow. Class performers are just that.

Brilliant song. 👏 and what a performance.
