Those of us fortunate enough to attend this last Tuesday night's Paddy's "Songwriter Idol" contest got a real late night treat when Paddy Reilly himself - legendary Irish balladeer (he's had a 30-year recording career) and former member of the "Dubliners" (not to mention co-founder with Steve Duggan of Paddy Reilly's pub) - formed a song circle at the fromt of the pub and started passing around the guitar!
Oh, did I mention that you had to stay until 1:30 to hear it - Paddy isn't your ordinary seventy year old... or maybe he is, in Dublin.
Some of those songwriters still around got a real first hand lesson in song presentation!
And we all learned again why Paddy's has such a special music scene.
Thanks Steve (... and Paddy)
