 | PAUL BRADY BALCONYTV.COM 28/07/2006PRESENTED BY PAULINE FREEMANPaul Brady is one of Ireland's most enduringly popular artists.A Fifties child, his early heroes were Jerry Lee Lewis, Winifred Atwell and Fats Domino. After living in London and New York City in the early 70s Paul returned to Dublin to join Planxty, the premier Irish folk band of the time. This was the band that was to launch the solo careers of Andy Irvine, Liam O' Flynn, Donal Lunny and Christy Moore. After an acclaimed solo folk album "Welcome Here Kind Stranger" (1978) which won the Melody maker Folk Album of the year, he released "Hard Station" in 1981 which was an original reworking of his earlier influences. The albums which followed established Paul as the pre-eminent Irish singer-songwriter of his generation. In 2001, Paul released 'The Missing Liberty Tapes' featuring a lost live recording of a Paul Brady concert in Dublin in 1978. The classic record also features Andy Irvine, Donal Lunny, Liam O'Flynn, Matt Molloy, Paddy Glackin and Noel Hill.In August 2002 RTE television, Ireland's national TV station,filmed a six programme series featuring Paul's music, called 'The Paul Brady Songbook'. Shown to acclaim in Ireland the series is now available on a three hour DVD.In 2004 Paul recorded in Nashville, the result of which was the 2005 released album 'Say What You Feel' an organic and fresh sounding record, mostly cut live and in one or two takes at most per song.Here Paul performs Mary and the Soldier'Presented by Pauline Freemanwww.paulbrady.com |
 | Paul Brady's "The Island" Written 20 years ago, the lyrics of Paul Brady's "The Island" ring even more true today. In this song with additional commentary, Brady expresses the devastation and emotions that engulfed the people of Ireland in the early eighties. However, the wars, bombing, and fighting that are happening around us today, remind us of the mindset Brady was addressing. "If you are not with us, you are against us. Turning your back on your own." In this powerful piece, Brady truly does pierce through the emotional flak from an ordinary man's perspective, to touch the heart of the human soul. |

 | The Homes of Donegal - Paul Brady 1985, written by Seán MacBride This song was written by Seán MacBride in about 1955, Seán was a native of Cruit island which is in the Rosses area of Donegal (West Donegal). He was a school Teacher at St.Baithins school in the Carrigans/St.Johnston area (East Donegal) for most of his life. Seán passed away at the age of 90 in August 1996 and is buried on Cruit Island.Seán only wrote the lyrics, the actual air itself is maybe 150 or more years old, there are many songs around using the same melody, but to my ears the closest one is a song called "The Faughan Side", This song was part of the Curriculum in national schools in East Donegal and as Seán was a Teacher in the "Laggan Valley" (South Inishowen) I'm pretty sure that is were he got his inspiration for the "Homes of Donegal". This version by Paul Brady is from his 1985 album "Back to the Centre" Here are the Lyrics....Homes Of Donegal(Seán MacBride)I've just called in to see you all, I'll only stay a whileI want to see how you're getting on, I want to see you smile.I'm happy to be back again, I greet you big and small,For there's no place else on earth just like the homes of Donegal.I always see the happy faces, smiling at the door,The kettle swinging on the crook, as I step up the floor.And soon the taypot's fillin' up me cup that's far from small,For your hearts are like your mountains, in the homes of Donegal.To see your homes at parting day of that I never tire,And hear the porridge bubblin' in a big pot on the fire.The lamp alight, the dresser bright, the big clock on the wall,O, a sight serene, celestial scene, in the homes of Donegal.I long to sit along with you and while away the night,With tales of yore and fairy lore, beside your fires so bright,And then to see prepared for me a shake-down by the wall.There's repose for weary wanderers, in the homes of Donegal.Outside the night winds shriek and howl, inside there's peace and calm,A picture on the wall up there, our saviour with a lamp,The hope of wandering sheep like me and all who rise and fall.There's a touch of heavenly love around the homes of Donegal.A tramp I am and a tramp I've been, a tramp I'll always he,Me father tramped, me mother tramped, sure trampin's bred in me.If some there are my ways disdain and won't have me at all,Sure I'll always find a welcome in the homes of Donegal.The time has come and I must go, I bid you all adieu,The open highway calls me forth to do the things I do.And when I'm trampin' far away I'll hear your voices call,And please God I'll soon return unto the homes of Donegal.Seán MacBride R.I.P * Annagry * Ardara * Arranmore * Arranmore island * Bailure * Balintra * Ballindrait * Ballybofey * Ballyliffin * Ballymagan * Ballymagaraghy * Ballymore * Ballyshannon * Bloodyforeland * Bridgend * Bruckless * Bunbeg * Buncrana * Bundoran * Burnfoot * Burtonport * Carndonagh * Carrick * Carrickart * Carrigans * Carrigart * Carrowkeel * Castlefinn * Church hill * Church Town * Clonmany * Convoy * Cranford * Creeslough * Cross Roads * Culdaff * Derrybeg * Donegal * Doocharry * Downings * Drumfree * Drumoghill * Dundoran * Dunfanaghy * Dungloe * Dunkineely * Dunlewy * Ellistrin * Fahan * Falcarragh * Fanad * Fintown * Frosses * Glen * Glencolmcille * Glencolmkille * Glencolumcille * Glencolumbkille * Glencolumkille * Glendowan * Glenealy * Glenties * Glentogher * Glenvar * Gortahork * Greencastle * Gweedore * Inishowen * Inver * Kerrykeel * Kilcar * Killybegs * Killygordan * Kilmacrenan * Kilmacrennan * Kilcrean * Kincasslagh * Kincasslough * Kindrum * Kingarrow * Knockbrack * Laghey * Laghy * Largy * Leckemy * Letterkenny * Lettermacaward * Lettermacward * Lifford * Loughanure * Lurganboy * Maas * Maghery * Malin * Malinbeag * Malinbeg Beach - youTube video * Malin head * Malinmore * Manorcunningham * Meenglass * Meenlaragh * Milford * Milford * Milltown * Mountcharles * Moville * Muff * Naran * Narin * New inn * Newmills * Newtown Cunningham * Pettigoe * Pluck * Port na blath * Portaleen * Portnablagh * Portnoo * Portsalon * Ramelton * Raphoe * Rashedoge * Rathmelton * Rathmullan * Redcastle * Rosapenna * Rosnakill * Rossnowlagh * St. Johnston * Stranorlar * Tawny * Termon * Tievebane * Tory island * Treantagh |
