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

On Friday October 7th I was presented with the 2011 Alumnus Illustrissimus award for distinguished past pupils by my old school St Columb's College, Derry ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Columb%27s_College) . 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?

We saw Bonnie Raitt and Mavis Staples in Sydney Australia about 6 weeks ago, and they were both fantastic. Bonnie did your song Luck Of The Draw. Enjoy!

I love that: “Marriage made in Hollywood”! ♥️

I love Bonnie Raitt especially when she sings your songs!

Looking forward to it ...hope you are joining her for Not the Only One 😁

One of my favourite songs ! And Bonnie always a class act . Been a fan for over 40 years , have seen her every time she's toured New Zealand .

Hi Paul Brady Music we saw her at the Blues and she said you were great friends. She sang careless whisper cover 💖

Went to Hyde Park (BST) 2018, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor and Paul Simon's last ever concert, ah sublime ❤️

Fantastic! Great vibe between you

Raging I couldn't get tickets for this and I expect I'm going to miss a special guest appearance too..☹️

Your buddy Curtis Stigers is touring over to Ireland too. ❤️🎶❤️

Love this!❤️

Will you be joining Bonnie on stage ?

So sad to hear of the death of Tina Turner. I’ve loved her voice all my life, long before I was ever privileged to have her sing my songs. Rest in peace, dear lady. ... See MoreSee Less

Is this 1985 at the RDS? Because I was there and saw/heard you sing together. It was amazing ❤️

RIP 😢She truly was one in a million ❤️ I’m sure shes joining the Great gig in the sky

Paul - that footage of Tina performing Steel Claw on the Tonight Show is an epic memory to be able to revisit and it’s sadly become even more precious now - I’ve always loved the fact that there’s an Irish connection to the Private Dancer album.

Such a legend and inspiration ! And best legs and amazing energy ! RIP Tina Turner .

She was such a brilliant entertainer. I always loved her version of Paradise is here and it weirdly made me proud that she (a global soul and rock legend) covered a song by an Irish man.

Tina, David Crosby … both covered your superb work Paul… Saddened at the loss of both these great artists. Rest in peace.

Steel Claw my favourite. I loved her. She was an inspirational woman.

Just listening to Paradise is Here - a wonderful woman - so sad x

I love her version of 'Paradise is Here'! RIP Tina

Respect to you Good Brother Paul 👍

So sad. She was a legend. RIP great lady❤

You were the first person I thought of when I heard this sad news Paul...sorry for your loss.

Great memories for you great times you both seem to have had 👏

Amazing, unique talent combined with strength, courage and dignity. Simply the best. What a loss to the world.

There'll never be another like Tina Turner, I loved her version of "Paradise is Here", and "Steel Claw", but also very proud that they were written by an Irishman... R.I.P. Tina 🌹 x

RIP Tina. A true lady with an incredible voice.

Inspirational. What a come back she had from Ike 👏

Simply the best x may she rest in peace.

What a brilliant woman she was some voice

RIP Tina!

I'd say you've had many a proud moment Paul but that must have been special hearing her sing your songs

A lovely distinctive voice!…Great to have her record your fine songs!…Safe journey Tina…See you down the road!🎶🥂🙏

May she rest in the clear light of her own awareness🙏🏻

Beautiful picture of you both Paul

Steel claw. Great dancing Tina, rest in peace
