    Paddy's songs need to make it to Broadway. Isn't there a writer out there who can draft a musical out of this material? The musician who was too clever for his own good?

    I can remember making out to the cassette of 'Steve McQueen' with my then girlfriend many, many years ago now. Oh those nights of tenderness and love and what an album!. 'Appetite' was my favourite from the album.--Kevin Whelan

    33 years ago, I saw Prefab live at the Aston Villa Leisure Centre during The Comeback Tour and they were superb live. For me, their albums on vinyl are timeless and unique and one of the most creative bands of that era.

    Paddy talked about meeting his hero Paul McCartney. I have six heroes: 1) Fred Couples; the golfer, 2) Steve Wozniak; inventor of the Apple Mac, 3) Keanu Reeves; the actor, 4) Francis Bacon; the artist, 5) Tom Campbell; the physicist, and 5) Paddy McAloon of whom I have been a fan since 1985. My secret wish was to one day meet all of them I met Francis Bacon in 1980 when I was an art student and that was one hell of an experience. I met Fred Couples in 1996 and I was so star struck I could hardly speak. I met Steve Wozniak in 2012 i n Oslo Norway and had a conversation about how robots could make the African deserts green again. The other three I still have hope only I have a feeling meeting Paddy would be almost impossible as he is such a private person.

    The brilliant album "Swoon" was one of the soundtracks to my undergrad years in Manchester in the mid-80s. Working late into the night in a freezing cold terraced house in Rusholme, sitting in a sleeping bag at my desk and listening to it on cassette. "Her husband works at Jodrell Bank, gets home late in the morning" still sticks in my mind. Those harmonies and melodies felt strange but somehow accomplished to my ears. Thank you Paddy and the other Prefabs, I hope you're all prospering.

      You nailed it. Swoon is the deepest for me and I don't think that is the case for many people.* The strange was the most interesting. When Bobby Fischer's plane (PLANE PLANE) touches the ground (PLANE PLANE). Paddy said he wanted to get away from the cleverness and that's fine, I love the others, but the capacity and the inclination to be eerie was a very special moment. * OK OK, Swoon and "Cars and Girls" and "Prisoner of the Past" and...

    What a wonderful guy. I adore his work with the rest of Prefab Sprout. This was adult stuff and there's nothing like it now. It's shame, but by the same token, I feel priveledged to have heard it. Kid's have no idea how sophisticated pop music once was.

    I went to see Prefab Sprout in 1986 the lady singer (sorry can't remember her name!)was ill with a bad sore throat & Paddy seamlessly sung his parts and then sung her parts in a higher voice much to the amusement of the audience he did a great job 💖 wonderful band up there (on their own unique way)with the smiths x

    I feel so sorry for kids now. The music that was avialable to me then, is still with me now and it's just as meaningful when I hear it now. We were so lucky to have people like this, even if we didn't know it at the time.
