I was up in Bundoran Donegal for a weeks R and R last week with my wife and our black cocker spaniel,and was walking the beautiful Rougey cliff walk (If you haven't done this then do it as soon as you can, absolutely spectacular)!, when this couple walked by and I said to my wife "That's Paul Brady", my absolute hero as a singer/songwriter guitarist, I wanted to tell him that every time I went to see him in concert I would resist the urge to go home and smash my own Takamine guitar, I also wanted to tell him that I used to see him arrive at the AIB in Finglas in his old Renault 4 car as I was arriving in my own 0ld Renault 4 to lodge money for my employers EMI records in Glasnevin, and how I remember him saying that the song he wrote for Tina Turner "Paradise is here" was so successful that it practically cleared his mortgage. Tina Turner was an EMI artist at the time. I wanted to say all these things but I was afraid to disturb them on this beautiful walk on a quite beautiful day. The man is a pure legend. Thanks for uploading this video as it's the best version on youtube!

Was at Mark Knopflers gig in Dublin a couple of years back, good seats, about 5 rows back. Empty seat beside me, man takes his place during the first song. It was only after the first song had finished i looked at who it was and it was this fucking legend! Told me that Knopfler has caused him to burn many guitars out of disgust at his talent ha. It was also great to see how moved he was by the gig himself, sitting in the crowd just like the rest of us when he easily could be sidestage etc.

gilmour81 I first heard Paul Brady at Vicar Street in Dublin in October 2001 - I was 15 and I was really only going as Mark Knopfler was his guest and I’m a massive fan of his (never miss him on tour) and I was remembering being totally blown away by Paul - he gained another fan that night and I’ve been to see him another four or five times since.

Paul used to open for Dire Straits back in the early '80s. So it's only fitting that he has John Illsley here. And if you have his live album FULL MOON (1984), you'll know that he had Terry Williams on drums for that tour!
