I was just catching up on reading the posts, and I noticed that one of the repondents to the "simple help" conversation was Paul Brady and I was wondering if this is the same Paul Brady who wrote (and sings) the song "I Will Be There" which is on the Best of Mary Black CD that my husband just got me for Christmas????

Sorry, no I'm not "the" Paul Brady. Although mo máthair keeps telling me I have more talent. Everyone else who has heard me sing thinks the other Paul Brady need not worry.

the other

I am sure that to those that matter to you, you are "The" Paul Brady and that's all that matters. After I wrote my message I had a twinge of guilt for being presumptious... It is just that I wanted to take advantage of an opportunity to thank someone for making my day a little brighter because they are willing to share the gift they have to make music. Ta bron orm.

Ever heard "The Island"??

It's my favourite song by him.

What about Paul Brady singing one of the most beautiful songs ever sung as Gaeilge - Ar Bhruach Loch Pontchartrain on the album Éist Arís.

And don't forget "Gleanntáin Ghlás Ghaoth Dhobhair" or The homes of Donegal ...
