All about today...

So today is a very special BalconyTV.
To explain.
I used to be an usher in Vicar Street.
In 2000/2001 Paul Brady did a 21 night sold out stint at the venue.
I was completly unfamiliar with Bradys work, and for some reason, I had bad preconcieved notions about what to expect...
I was an usher on the top floor of the venue, so when the gig began I was alloud to watch.
Suffice to say the gigs were amazing, great atmosphere throughout...The crowd was really energised for the shows...
It was also interesting to sit some notable celebs during the gigs...Elvis Costello, Sinead O' Connor etc...
Anyway, I remember I was particularly impressed with Bradys folk Irish sound.
I purchased the album The LIberty Tapes soon later...which is apparently a lost recording of a gig from 1978...
Its one of my favourite albums.
Anyway, after bombarding Pauls people with emails, I has delighted to get the call from Paul, saying he was interested in performing.
Pauline has never been so professional (shes also a big fan, as is her family)...
And I was more than a tad nervous...
Paul was the complete pro...a one take wonder too, which dosn't happen on BalconyTV that often.
Not sure how to end this particular blog...
So I'll just say tune in tomorrow folks...
