Wo love Paddy for his wonderful and kind mention of the late great Billy Mackenzie/Associates! Us Billy/Associates fans like to think Billy is about him... And really liking the sound of
I so love this guy and his music...I wish I knew him! Luckily, someone who wrote a book on PS (and an upcoming one, as well), had me do some paintings for it, so I will be linked at some point!

Refreshing to hear - the impression he had become somewhat withdrawn and eccentric fully dispelled: a warm, witty, articulate and self-aware chap. "The productivity rate is not all it could be!". Heh heh.

I have been considering having an extra ear grafted on to myself specifically to listen to Paddy and Prefab Sprout. Physical geography is proving contentious however with my other half... but she has dubious musical taste.
Paddy is one of the best songwriters this country has produced in the last 30 odd years.
marisha4sure agreed
and Martin Stephenson let's not forget...
I could listen to Paddy talking all day. Every day. Punctuated only by Prefab Sprout songs.
The greatest thing that came out of the eighties without any doubt. I love this man..
This guy is a genius .respect .
Why is Paddy's voice and narration so soothing and magnetic?
Could listen to this guy all day.
One of our generation's finest songsmiths, without a doubt.
Paddy mentions Calum Malcolm, who produced the legendary Scottish band The Blue Nile
What a lovely Man and a beautifully honest interview. Always been a fan.
A big Paddy and Prefab Sprout fan here all the way in Capitol Hill Denver,Colorado U.S.A,Cheers Mr.McAloon!!!
...and this album is soooooo good.
A legend among legends. Chased Prefab Sprout for 3 gigs in row around 2002, Glasgow, Newcastle, Dublin... Wish I could do it again.
Un vero Genio. Lunga vita felice a Paddy. Un saluto from Italy
Pure joy to listen to !! Paddy ! And Prefab Sprout !!

Great songwriter.
Genius
Does anybody know why Crimson/Red is not available on Spotify? For me it is one of the best albums ever!
Paddy, or anyone, who hears him talking about Pollock, check out the work of Paul Jenkins, beautiful work.
whoaaaaa....I never knew the title song was referencing Rothko!

never explain your lyrics.
Let the listener have their own take.
true to his roots
Hey and no 'gigs' -put yer feet up
Put down your beard, shave it and come to play in Toronto. I love your songs, you are the Best Heart Thief in the World.
''Over the past two decades, he may have withdrawn somewhat from the fray, with health issues - he has tinnitus and a detached retina - ruling out touring.''
We would love to see Paddy in Toronto.
Once a Paddy, later a ZZ.
I don't see how a detached retina would affect him being able to tour....stevie Wonder seemed to manage just fine
he looks like a Paddy homeless version..
