Paul Brady version of ‘Let’s Get Together’ taken up by the Fransiscan Sisters of Charity

Some years back I recorded a version of the Jesse Colin Young song 'Let's Get Together' for a compilation called 'Bleecker Street /Greenwich Village in the 60s'. Just recently it's been taken up by the Fransiscan Sisters of Charity as one of their 'Streaming Songs Of Peace', Give it a listen! … [Read more...] about Paul Brady version of ‘Let’s Get Together’ taken up by the Fransiscan Sisters of Charity

Classical v Popular music

Ever since I entered the realm of music lessons as a child I was left in no doubt as to the superiority of Classical over popular music…that people like Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart, Bach, Schubert, Brahms, Dvořák…the list goes on…were superhuman Gods who dropped on to the earth, had miserable lives and then disappeared leaving the human race with incomparable gems never to be … [Read more...] about Classical v Popular music

Eurovision Song Contest

Another Eurovision Song Contest has come and gone and I'm scratching my head wondering what this is all about? As a musical phenomenon it long ago lost all credibility. I think when Lordi from Finland won it a couple of years ago that was the nadir, though Ireland's Dustin the Turkey did his bit to turn the whole thing into a joke. What is at stake in this 'competition'? … [Read more...] about Eurovision Song Contest

People and Music

When I started off playing music professionally I still laboured under the misapprehension that the listener responded to the music I made in the same way I felt it. Put that down, firstly, to an inherited tendency to think the world revolves around me (thanks, Ma!) but also to a strong dose of naivety. Gradually over time and with much disillusionment I came to realize that … [Read more...] about People and Music

Art and the real world

Here in Derry on Easter Saturday midday. Today the ancient city walls are the temporary home of street market stalls. The leaden skies and insistent rain mean it will be a lonely vigil today for Man of Aran and his packets of home-made fudge. No one is abroad in the sodden air, though the indoor markets seem to be thriving. We drove from Dublin last night and our first gig … [Read more...] about Art and the real world

How do you value a song?

I'm trying to figure out this money thing. It's a mystery to me. Last night I watched a program on Bernie Madoff  which told the complete story of the scam from start to finish. I like being comfortable and having the few bob in my pocket as much as the next guy but…what is the point, in the big picture, of spending your whole life just accumulating money? Not only that but … [Read more...] about How do you value a song?

They’re off!

A relief to be up and running with the new site. Thanks to webmaster Steve Brickle for pulling it together. I'm excited about the blog being linked to Facebook and hope these communications give more of an insight to my crazy world. There's a fair bit of press coverage building up in Ireland as Hooba Dooba begins to get heard. This week it's the national station RTE 's album of … [Read more...] about They’re off!

Paul Brady ..beginner blogger

Hello all. Welcome to this, the first posting on my first ever blog. I have to say I’ve been dragged screaming to this blogging business. I’m a man who lives in and is quite content in his own head. It’s just my make up. I love the world around me, and as my friends can attest to, I have a huge lust for life. I’m forever interested in and thrilled by the beauty of what happens … [Read more...] about Paul Brady ..beginner blogger

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.

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!

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.

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. 👏

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.

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

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'.😎

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

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.

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!

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?

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.

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.

A younger immigrated homesick me was kept company every night going to asleep in NY 1986 with a tape in my 'ghetto blaster'. It was 'Full Moon' live at The Half Moon, Putney, London. So straight up you knew you were listening with fellow Irish peeps in the audience who decided on closer shores but felt exactly the same. This will always be my definitive version of Paul's, of course Hard Station really rung true to our situation more literally, but in my mind Helpless hit home more. Great version from David, Phil Collins also covered this, just shows the respect and high regard of Brady's songwriting they all have/had. RIP Mr Crosby. www.discogs.com/release/2234797-Paul-Brady-Full-Moon

Paul he did you proud ........a love classic performed by an icon...He always spoke his mind and was true to himself.....RIP David.

Beautiful song. I love it.❤

My favourite of all Paul’s songs. David Crosby’s version is good - so sad to hear of his passing. I saw him once in concert in Heidelberg with Graham Nash - really memorable. R.I.P❤️🙏🏼

Great Paul Brady song.

My favourite Paul Brady song, and on such a sad day. RIP Mr Crosby <3

Brilliant album full moon live at putney ,have at home on vinyl

Always a great song!

Your beautiful song Paul, performed beautifully by a legend

Great song, thanks for sharing...

Lovely song!…lovely job !

Aww Paul l prefered your version... Sang it to my husband Paddy as he was passing in June last year... As l had when we renewed our marrage vowes on the 21st anniversay of his heart transplant... It was beating strong for 36 years.... I still sing along with your original recording of Lakes of Ponchitrain by the way...

Love it. ❤️🎶❤️

Ger O Byrne lovely version of Paul Brady song

Beautiful song by my favourite songwriter.

David Crosby RIP

One of my all time favorites. RIP David your music soldiers on.

Did you ever do any recording with David?…. any working together in the vaults? He will be missed.

Master of Harmony RIP🙏🏽

Crosby,Stills,Nash & Young - "Teach Your Children" sound of the 70's

He lived a long life and that Liver Transplant gave him many more years, so thanks to organ donors for helping to keep the music going :)

A great singer has goed.....R.I.P......

Great musician gone to the big gig in the sky 🙏🎵🎶

Rest in peace David thank you for all the great songs and performances over the years I was privileged to hear CS&N in Dublin some years ago There will be plenty of harmony in Heaven tonight

I’ve been singing along to his tunes since the days of The Byrds and CSNY. Some of his behaviour was disappointing given the privileged position he found himself in, but he sure could write and harmonise great songs and find the beauty in his guitars, both acoustic and electric. I attended a CSN concert in Auckland NZ back around 2008. It was a magical trip back through the years, across the soundtrack of my life. R.I.P. David Crosby. 😎🇳🇿🎸🌹✨

David was a kind and generous man. I met him back stage at the Freight and Salvage, Berkeley several years ago when I was supporting you for a few California shows.

Sadly missed great writer. RIP.

Such sad news! 😥

A huge loss

Ah no, so sorry to hear this news

RIP

A legend loved his music.

A wonderful photo Paul, rest easy David f

RIP the music lives on

So very sad to hear. 😢

R.I.P. Great Soul we will miss you 🙏

Rest in peace 🙏💚

One of a kind , unique genuis . Rest in Peace . 🙏

Very sad news ! RIP David Crosby

sad news…. another legend gone!

Rest in Peace

Thanks for the great music! I'm enjoying your memoir too! Happy New Year to you and your family. ❤️

Happy New Year now Paul and thanks for the music. You won't remember I'm.sure but at the last Finsbury Park Feis in the tent where you were playing my daughter at the time was trying to teach me to dance and it was a sorry sight to see to which we were sure you were having a good laugh......was a powerful gig that day with the full band you had. All the best now 🙂👍🎤🎸🥁

Happy New Year to you Paul. Plenty of song and tight lines. I’m currently reading “Crazy Dreams”. Loving it! I regularly find myself saying, “I was at that gig!” Cork, Lisdoonvarna, Macroom, Etc.

Thanks Paul I'm enjoying your current album so mellow and mature a pleasure to listen to. Lyrics and music brilliant as always.

Happy New Year from C&J Stanton in Michigan! We LOVE your MUSIC!

Got your book for Christmas…wonderful read. Thanks for sharing, and Happy New Year to you and yours…cheers from 🇨🇦!

I’ve been a fan for many years. Now reading the new book. It’s a great read! Best wishes for 2023.

Same to you! Thank you for a wonderful concert in Vicar St a few weeks ago..it was pure magic !!

Just read the book, great read, thoroughly enjoyed it, was surprised that David Crosby (RIP) didn't get a mention

To you we wish the same. Thank you for the music Paul Brady.

Back atcha Paul! No place else I'd rather be.💖

It was a pleasure hearing you read from your book at the Dublin Book Festival. Also your recent concert with Andy Irvine and guest musicians was sublime.Wishing you a very Happy New Year.

Happy New Year Paul. Thanks for all the great music. Looking forward to your next gig in Dublin.

Happy New year Paul

Best wishes to you

Happy New year to you and your family. See you soon in the Lime Tree in Limerick.

Devenish a high point of my year, Young Brady.... thank you for that.... Happy New Year, and keep on rockin', poppin' and balladin' in '23.

It's a beautiful world ( now you are here)

Have an awesome holiday time 🥂🙏🎉
