Paddy O'Brien in Brazen Head
Paddy O'Brien in Brazen Head

Paddy was a gentle man - that's two words.

He lived just across the road from the Brazen Head, which made that his local.

He was a man of culture, particularly interested in traditional music and song - but above all else he loved Opera. He also enjoyed the Sunday Morning Sessions which too often ran into Sunday night, but he didn't need a taxi home like the rest of us!

Location: Sunday Morning Session, in Brazen Head, Dublin. Taken c.1985
