Paul Woodfull & Patrick McDonnell – But I Like You

“A quirky love song for oddballs.”

A few weeks ago, we featured the charming new video from the legendary Paul Woodfull (ex-Joshua Trio, Ding Dong Denny O’Reilly).

Now Paul (top left) has enlisted Louth comedian Patrick McDonnell (top right) – famous for his role as Eoin McLove in Father Ted – to double up with him and turn the song into a duet.

We like.

Paul also recorded an alternative version featuring different lyrics based on the suggestions of his social media followers, who shared their pet dislikes.

Thanks, Paul, for making us smile amidst all the gloom.

Nick says: It takes two.

Paul Callan – And You Follow

Seeing the wood for the trees.

Paul Callan, formerly of Bobby Pulls A Wilson, has just released his debut solo album Funzi (top).

A collection of the 12 singles he released each month in 2021 with an extra three songs added, the album was written, performed, produced and mixed by Callan himself in his cabin in County Louth.

Paul writes:

“Funzi is the story of 2021. These songs came and in some ways captured the times for me as I travelled through the year.

“Initially at the beginning of the year my thoughts were to record and release a record for the summer of 2021. A friend suggested releasing one song per month as a way to work on my writing, to make me look at each of the songs as singles in their own right.”

The album is named after Paul’s Airedale Lurcher who is also the cover star.

Nick says: A dog’s best friend.
