In July 1985, during a tribal dance tour of The Netherlands, I heard Paddy on the radio and was instantly a fan. Ten years later, he gave me permission to use his lyrics in my novel, Black Eagle Child (Open Road Media). My thanks to you, Paddy. Again.
Clown? Bizarre insult. You'll find no one who's encountered McAloon, in any corner of the music industry, however modest, who has anything but respect for Paddy, as an artist and as a gentleman. Seriously, why the nasty remark? @@bernardbaker6803
Haha. That is me in front of you in the dark blue shirt taking photos at the start. Great day that was, Undertones, Kirsty Maccoll, (6 months before she passed away), The Corrs, Billy Bragg. Loved seeing Prefab Sprout though - got everything they brought out in the 80's.
Bacharach? What? imagine an evening of Mcaloon songs - a joke, wouldn't be allowed and very boring. They all sound the same and liked by the sort of narrow minded people who are either denials or messiah worship....
I missed them in the 80s , but I love them in 2019. Prefab Sprout , what a band . Total class.
Total sxxt more like - as thought of at the time.............
Wow! Many years later and still his voice never changed in this concert...

Permission - from that clown!? ...
@@bernardbaker6803 you seem to have (had) an animated link with Paddy? Info welcome...

they only serve to fool ourselves.
Oh my God! This is timeless. Simply beautiful!
One of the Gods in the Olympus of the best song writers, singer and musicians ever
This is so unbelievably beautiful.

One of the most underrated groups ever!!
Tears are running down my humble face.

Beautiful. Thank you for continuing to play. This is music.
Absolutely amazing band

Paddy your the Burt Bacharach of the pop world your a wonderful writer
I thought Burt Bacharach was the Burt Bacharach of the pop world ;-) Only jesting. I agree.
He's not Burt is. Paddy is a genius and it's you're by the way.

Top 10 80s. Maybe top 5?

Paddy genius forever
@simasgar So sad for Paddy, one of the great British songwriters of his era.
