Paul Brady - Live at Rockpalast

Le 8 décembre 1983, l'artiste irlandais Paul Brady donnait un concert avec son groupe à Markthalle de Hambourg, retransmis en direct lors de la légendaire série télévisée allemande « Rockpalast ».

Paul Brady est un chanteur et guitariste originaire d'Irlande du Nord. Il fait partie de la génération d'artistes irlandais qui ont assuré le renouveau de la musique traditionnelle irlandaise dans les années 70. Il a notamment collaborés au côté d'Andy Irvine et le groupe Planxty. 

On 8th December 1983 I played a concert with my band in Hamburg’s Markthalle televised by the legendary German TV series ‘Rockpalast’.

In the band at the time were drummer Terry Williams…on loan from Dire Straits who were on down time, Bassist Mickey Feat, Electric guitarist Phil Palmer and on keyboards and Hammond Organ the late Kenny Craddock. My second album ‘True For You’ was not long out so we concentrated on those songs mostly..Not The Only One, Steel Claw, Take Me Away, Dance The Romance and Helpless Heart as well as a few faves like Crazy Dreams. We were all pretty exhausted having driven across from England in a freezing cold van with no sleep so it was a surreal experience playing through a mental fog for an audience seeing me for the first time. Looking back at it all these years later on this newly released DVD/CD pack, it comes across a lot better than I remember it. A long ago look into the young me slowly finding my voice.
