Hi there to all in the wonderful world of Celtic Thunder! I hope your all having a wonderful summer and not melting away. If your like me here in Dublin, there is little chance of that. I have had a very busy couple of months, between recording my new album "This Is The Moment" and also preparing my Autumn tour.

Things are coming together nicely and I expect to have the album ready for release by September, However it is slightly out of my hands. Either way, its coming soon. One thing for sure is my tour starts early November and I will be covering quiet some ground. I do hope to see many of you there, and promise a mixed bag of music for you all to enjoy. Music will range from the musical hits of Broadway, to well known favourites from Ireland. I will also get to sing one or two classical crossover pieces as well as one or two of my favourites from my time with Celtic Thunder!

Tickets are very reasonable and I can guarantee you will all get to meet me after each show. I really hope I can count on your support as you have never let me down to date! Thank you to Celtic Thunder for letting me post the dates and details here below.

See you all soon

Keep well
My Loves

Hello.

Hi Paul,

My name is Emma Metzger. I am 18 years old. I am a very big fan of you and Celtic Thunder. I have meet you twice. Once in Seattle on November 11, 2010 and then again this year on March 6, 2011.

that is all. I really am not very good at this so I am going to say good bye for now.

Sincerely,
Emma Metzger

To Paul Byrom

I recently bought your new album "This Is The Moment" and want to congratulate you on your selections for this album. I love "Galilelo" and "Lullaby" Paul. I think they enhance and show off your voice. I am partially handicapped and many nights I will listen to this album, PLUS "Recureda Me" on my headset. Your music relaxes me and often makes a somewhat uncomfortable night pass more calmly and peacefully. I hope you will always choose music that will showcase that beautiful sound that only you can make. I also love Celtic Thunder and am slowly acquiring all of the CD's and DVD's alike. I just love great music. Good Luck on your tour this fall and in any other endeavor you undertake. May your future be bright and rewarding. You have the sky as your limit as far as I am concerned. Please know that you are appreciated for what you contribute to the musical world.

Show in Pittsburgh

Paul--
I want to tell you how much we enjoyed your show in Pittsburgh on Saturday evening. It was a wonderful way to spend a Saturday night. The music was great as your voice always is, and you have such a wonderful sense of humor that you kept us laughing all evening. You are a true entertainer and a born performer. I know you will do well on your tour for the rest of the year. I bought your album and enjoy playing it. You certainly covered most of the songs in your show. Keep up the good work and good luck with getting the PBS special. If you do that, I'm sure we'll see you in a larger venue next year when you go on tour. Great job!! As you know, the Steelers won the next day and I'm sure it was in support of you.

World Live Cafe..last night:

Hi Paul, this is Faith writing to you..I doubt you will even see this as your schedules is so busy. What a joyful evening we had last night in Philly..We live in Springfield PA ...right outside the city about an hour. Your music was so beautiful and just touches my heart mind and soul..seriously. You have a God given talent! "She" you sang w/such emotion..the song about your Dad....all of them.

Enjoyed your chat. It was awesome..the jokes, the stories..everything..so much I would write you; but then it probably has been said by everyone. I have my pictures..they came out great..actually sent a few to your agency..don't know how to attach them on here. best not anyway. Dominique is just adorable and so kind..posing w/you for a picture for me. Taking care of the merchandise table. What a doll!

Your whole personality is so warm and reminds me a lot of my days as a child growing up in a foster home..the stories..the love, the caring all of it. The music of course...God bless you always...had to write something today...cannot get the show out of my mind. It will last ....have been playing your cd also..absolutely heart touching.
Thank you so much Paul for sharing you time and life....love always to you and yours.
Faith
p.s. my granddaughter is 10..her name is Amanda. same as your sister. Take care ..stay safe....xxxxxx

Tour

Paul,
I was excited to hear about your solo tour, but very disappointed that you are not coming to the South. I hope you will add some dates and come to Atlanta soon. I love your music and look forward to seeing you in concert in the future. I will be ordering the new album so at least I can hear your new music. Best of luck on the tour and don't forget about all your Southern fans!

Coming to St. Louis!

I was at the Celtic Thunder show at the Fox in St. Louis last night & found out Paul would be in St. Louis Nov. 8th! I was online ordering tickets for my daughter & I at Midnight after we got home from CT show. I just know Paul's show will be as Wonderful as the guys were.

Your autumn tour

sorry to hear that you will not be with CT this year. My mother and I were looking forward to hearing you sing. Also too bad that your personal tour will not bring you to jacksonville.

Hi

I really love hearing you all sing, i watch you on t.v. when ever you are on, I am so excited because on December 9th I will be going to my vary first concert, I so can't wait until then. I hope too get to meet you all and buy some C.D. from you all. I am new to this.

Pitter

OH NOOO

I don't see any concerts in Texas! I am so disappointed! Do you think you will be adding any more dates? My daughter and I would love to see your solo concert!!

Toronto Tour

Wow! Looking forward to hearing Paul in Toronto.

this is the moment tour

ok...seriously??? you are meeting the fans after the show???!!! my son's dream is to meet you!!! can't wait to see you in foxboro!!!

CD "Velvet"

Hey Paul,
This CD came yesterday (I have ordered it). I love this music. And I look forwards when your new CD will come. Wish you all the best and God bless you and all you love.
Greatings from Holland.

Tour

Congratulations on your new tour! I told my hubby I want to come to the concert in Foxborough MA for a late anniversary date! We will be married 27 years in October. This gift will be worth the wait! See you there!

Tour

Congrats, on your new album. I am sorry you will not be coming to San Diego. I know your tour will be awesome I will miss you on CT, but you have a beautiful voice, and you will do great. Hope to see one of shows when you come back to Calif.I am excited to get your CD. I am glad Ryan is at a happy and peaceful place in his life, will miss him too.

Great that you are doing well.

Hi Paul, well we are all so happy that you are allowed to blog still on the CT site...in our hearts and mind you will always be with CT. But it is wonderful to see you are doing so well out on your own...doesn't look like we will see gigs in Toronto? The states are your happy home now, but so glad that you are getting chances to be home in Dublin. I am sure one day it would be neat to see you on an suprise appearance on one of the CT shows, but I am sure it won't be one that I get to see...even if you do it. Lots of changes with CT as well as with yourself....that is just life isn't it. But good changes and ahppy situations make your life complete. Good luck in all your new ventures...we have no doubt that success will be with you.

Cheers..Kathie

Toronto

Paul said he is going to Toronto and Pittsburgh, but the info for those 2 has not been posted yet. I have been waiting for the Pittsburgh venue. Hope he has info soon.

Paul posted his Toronto date

Paul posted his Toronto date here: http://cms.celticthunder.ie/node/843060#comment-154659

I would check his website though since he can update with ease.

waiting for November

Looking forward to seeing you at the World Cafe in Philly. Saw some tenor on PBS last week, he is supposed to be acclaimed. Does not hold a candle to your glorious voice. Loved J & H on Bway, so will love hearing you do the best song from the show. Decided on taking the cruise also. Will you be performing every night? Remember, NO "Nessun Dorma". Where and when can we get the CD? On the ship? CD Baby?

TOUR!

Heyy Paul!
I am a dedicated ThunderHead so naturally I am sad to see you leave the group. But i am very excited that you are starting a solo career. I can't wait to see you on tour for your solo debut. See ya then!
- love and blessings always -

World Live Cafe tour...

Paul, I am so darn excited..when I read ur blog on the CT site, I saw you were booked at the World Live Cafe here in Philly..we are in Springfield in the suburbs not far from the city...Yahoo, whoppee, and Hooray too.........went to the website and found seats..WE WILL BE THERE!!! Cannot wait to see you in person. have written a few friends and relatives also..all front row seats already taken....and you won't be there until November..so glad I read ur blog today!!!!!

We are finally going to be able to see you....Excited YEP..
Faith

Your Christmas cd at cdbaby

I didn't see it on their site so e-mailed them. Said they were all sold out and hadn't received any more so took it off their list. Also said that if more can be sent their way, they'd be very happy to sell them. Realize you are preparing for your tour/new album and it would be impossible now, but if possible at some future time could it be arranged? I've gotten a very good idea how much is involved in putting out a new album (a WHOLE LOT!), but no idea what's involved in reproducing more copies of one already completed. Hope to have it in my cd collection sometime. Will your new cd also be sold by cdbaby, or some other place? Wishing you success and great fun on your tour! Thank you very much.

A friend and I will be

A friend and I will be attending the concert in Philly, but I just learned that I will be moving to Annapolis and now I'll have to go to the Baltimore concert too. Smile

Your new album!

Oh, wow, Paul..so great to read ur blog on the CT site! Tonight here in Springfield PA on a PBS station they are finally airing "Storm"...can't wait to watch it at 7pm. Also congrats on your new album..Hopefully will be buying that when it is available. Will be at the show of Celtic Thunder in Lancaster this September..seems Sharon had a bit of hard time getting it to be taped there. Theater's fault....they sell tickets to members before public..not quite fair; but their policy. so no room for cameras. We are not going that night of the 27th anyway. going next night.

So you are in Ireland. hmmmmmmmmm Are you still in NY too? You didn't mention Dominique...How are things going? I hope well. Just so great to read ur note...will see you tonight on the tv....oh wellllllllllll ..but Sure wish we would be seeing you in September. Miss Ryan a lot too! I have recorded all shows on my DVR and have all you DVD's...so uplifting and happy are the songs...very touching to the heartstrings to me. thank you Paul for sharing your time and wonderful talent of song!
Faith

America is to far away

I will wish you good luck with your tour in november. And when your CD is comming out, I will buy it.
So I can listen to your wonderful voice.

BEST WISHES PAUL

Sorry you will not be with the Celtic Thunder in November. You will be missed. My sister and I both lost our husbands early this year. Mine after 55 years. Your voice, much like my huband, is wonderful to listen to. My sister listens to Heritage everyday at home and in her car. It gives her great comfort and brightens her day. Hope to see and hear more of you and each of the group in the future.

New Date

Delighted to announce I will be coming to TORONTO too on the 11th of Novemeber 2011. All details to follow

Wow! Paul, you are coming to Toronto!!

Hi Paul,
I am so happy to hear that you will be coming to Toronto - I will be there! I have followed you with CT, and of course continue to, now that you are solo! Anxiously awaiting the details for Toronto!
Thank you for continuing to keep all of your fans in the loop - it is much appreciated.
All the best,
Christine

Fall Tour

Can hardly wait to see you again in person. Very excited, hope all goes well with the tour.
If you see Ryan again, tell him we still love and miss him too. Hope he will return soon. You both will be greatly missed on CT's tour this fall.
Peace,
Joyce Palmer

Future tour hopes

Hi Paul. Just want to wish you much success with your tour. I know it will be fabulous. Cant wait until you may be able to add states and come to Virginia (Tidewater area). So enjoy your music.

SOLS TOUR

PAUL, I do hope you will be adding to tour & come N - E closer to the Canada Boarder. So the fans can get to see & meet you! I purchased VELVET Dec. 2/10 Amason keeps e-mailing telling me they can't get it! tm

:/

nothing in the south Sad good luck anyway!

This Is The Moment!

Hi, Paul,
The Philly show will be the highlight of my autumn, I am so looking forward to seeing you!
Cheers!
Maggie Costello

I want to dance 'til the very last day...

GREAT

Paul: Did they forget to post the one for Canada? I thought there was one for Toronto, Ontario. Is that still ago or not? Would love for you to come to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada hopefully next time around.

Paul - Can't wait! Kathryn

Paul - Can't wait!
Kathryn and I will be front and center in Philly. (I promise I'll behave myself, unlike the M&M at the Tower last year, LOL.) Also Baltimore, bringing my aunt (a surprise for her) and one of Kathryn's friends with us. Possibly New Jersey, too, if I can handle the drive from Maryland to northern NJ that Sunday. Really looking forward to it!

Sharon

Paul Byrom Concerts

Hey, what about your loyal fans in Knoxville, Tennessee? We don't even get noticed by Celtic Thunder. I have given Sharon names of venues in Knoxville. There are a great many Irish Americans in this area. I am an Irish grandmother with an Irish granddaughter who has fallen in love with you. By the way, tell Dom she doesn't have to worry, Darian is only 14 soon to be 15 on 12-7. She told me one day that she could listen to your voice all day. I'm so glad that she loves good music. Dorothy

Paul explained in a blog on

Paul explained in a blog on his site about the shortness of this first tour. Read down a bit. http://paulbyrom.blogspot.com/2011/07/summer-in-dublin.html I am sure in the future he will be all over the US and Canada not to mention the rest of the world!

Feeling neglected in the South

We're feeling a bit neglected here in the South, Paul. Baltimore isn't quite far enough in the right direction, although I'm thinking perhaps I could get there anyway. Will your new CD be available through CD Baby or online somewhere else? Amazon? I got "Velvet" through Amazon when I first discovered your talents back in March 2008. So happy for you that the tour is coming together.

Would love to see you down south

Looking forward to seeing you on tour. Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Chattanooga...would buy tickets to any show in any of these towns.

tour

Congrats on your Maiden solo tour in the US. I can't wait to see an expanded tour to the Southeast, once your name gets out there. Your first tour will be amazing I am sure.

Paul in Pittsburgh

When Paul comes to Pittsburgh, several of us from n.e. Ohio will be over!! That is close enough for me to come after work!!!!

Paul in Pittsburgh

I also live in Ohio that is why I was asking if he is still coming to Pittsburgh. Where do you live in Ohio? I live in East Liverpool, on the West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania border.

Carole

Ridgefield

Maybe the Guinness tasting should be after the show and not before. Then we can all hang out and have a pint, one taste at a time, when you're all done. I'll see you there, Red

Portland Show

Hey there Paul, me and a whole bunch of my friends are waiting to see you in portland.
