Paul Brady returns to Vicar St.
He'll be performing songs from all phases of his illustrious career.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 02 Feb 2011
The man described by Bob Dylan as “a secret hero”, Paul Brady, performs back-to-back Vicar St., Dublin shows on March 31 and April 1.
Tickets priced between €33.60 and €44.20 go on sale on Friday February 4.
It’s a modest engagement compared to the 23 sell-outs he played there in 2001, a feat that’s yet to be equaled by any Irish musician.
Along with highlights from his extensive back catalogue, expect to hear plenty of songs from last year’s excellent Hooba Dooba album, which found the Ulsterman going the DIY route.

The return of one of the country’s finest songwriters, ‘Smile’ is the first single to be lifted from Brady’s forthcoming Say What You Feel album. On first listen it sounds like something that Van Morrison might write. As Brady songs go, it’s not far removed from his most recent output. There’s nothing uniquely special about it and it’s certainly not one of his best.

According to my calculations, Paul Brady celebrates forty years as a professional musician this year. You certainly wouldn’t think so – looking at the fresh-faced (and decidedly blonder than usual) chap staring out from the cover of his first album since 2001’s Oh What A World. And if his gruelling touring schedule is anything to go by (he treks around the US in Feb followed by an Irish/UK tour) the man from Strabane shows little sign of slowing down.
