What do people think of Paul O'Reilly? And I mean those that actually bothered taking their thumbs out of their arses and listening to him (Dr. J). Good gig coming up in January with Glen Hansard, David Kitt and Paul O'Reilly. Oh and At the Drive-In could've been better but still good.

Delicate songs delivered with conviction. A beautiful voice, and a lovely fella. There you go...howzat then.
If only people could have shut the fuck up when he supported Kittser in Whelans of Wexford Street... people are idiots. Who are others waiting for to tell them that this guy is worth listening to...D'SIDE? I'm getting that impression from much of the audience at Kittser's gigs recently. There's a lot of this cult of personality stuff going on there. It's not Kittser's fault, but it was going to happen sooner or later, wasn't it?

Couldn't agree more - I call it "The Frames Effect". You know, people who probably don't even pay in and then stand around posing and chatting to their mates saying how good this band are while they're actually playing on stage and you're thinking - god man - shut the hell up... sorry, I'm an angry young man... but the reception for Songs:Ohia at the Frames gig last time in Whelan's was disappointing. Not the Frames' fault - they actually paid for Jason Molina and all the rest of Songs:Ohia to come over.

"I've Been Framed!"
- attributed to David Kitt (as of now)

as with a lot of accosticians he could probably do with letting out the odd yelp for therapeutic value (not to mention grabbing the attention of the chatty nitwits)
stand-up stuff tho and the s. fanagan backing gets pretty tasty too.
this chair be high sez i.

you shoulda seen him in galway!! he really yelped that night eh?eh? Paul rawks in a really nice quiet kinda way

I was baiting ye for the obvious "Nike Drake" comparisons but maybe other people are nicer than me. He is excellent of course... I was wrong about the gig I mentioned up top - its in January (20th/21st?) and it's Bonny Billy (Will Oldham) and Dave Pajo (Papa M) with some support which I think includes Paul O'Reilly.

sorry - Nick Drake - goddamn keyboarf...

 

[ronan]

yeah, the nick drake comparisons are a bit premature. paul's a lovely guy w/ some great songs and a beautiful voice. my 'criticism' would be that he could use a change of mood or tempo every so often.
aaaah, but what the hell do i know?

yeah, the addition of steve's atmospherics really helps. brilliant mick turneresque stuff. id love to hear paul collaborating with more people.
but not pat cannon...jesus, that was horrendous. galway really suffered that night.

You don't have to wait that long....that gig is actually this saturday night - "Gimme Shelter" with Glen Hansard, David Kitt, Paul o'Reilly, Steve Fannagan and John cowie at the Shelter in Vicar St. in aid of the Simon Community.
This I know...however I don't know if there are tickets or if you pay on the door...does anyone know??

 

[snap-apple]

[katy]

it's definetely an attitude problem those "yappers" have cos when david kitt played on his own (no minidisc even ) in the cobblestone in september you could hear a pin drop.it seems paul o' reilly would need to be hyped up before people shutup and listen.i don't even particularly enjoy his music either

 

[germ]

paul o'reilly's great. ah, how the ex-members of tarca have prospered...

 

[treelo]

the gig tonight is pay sur le door, and road said today that they have tickets for william in january.

as for paul in galway... dedicating songs to southern comfort? i believe so...

 

[pad]

southern comfort mmmmmmmmm, and what was he ding chasing a big ol rock in the middle of a playground? looking for sausages i presume.

 

[treelo]

chasing a big ol' rock? well he wasn't the only one singin at the top of the monkeybars at 5 in the morning i know that much...

the 'gimme shelter' gig last night was really really great. big fat up to the family for getting it on.
