Episode 141 ➡️ Paul Cleary

PLEASE CLICK LINK IN BIO TO LISTEN 🙏

On this week’s episode, we’re joined by Paul Cleary, vocalist, songwriter, and frontman of the legendary Dublin City band The Blades. Formed in the late 1970s, The Blades became one of the most beloved bands to emerge from Ireland’s post-punk and new wave era. Known for their sharp songwriting, Dublin storytelling, and undeniable energy, the band earned a devoted following with classic tracks such as “Ghost of a Chance,” “Hot for You,” and “Downmarket.” With Paul’s instantly recognisable voice and street-level poetry at the centre of it all, The Blades created songs that captured a time, a place, and a generation. Following the band’s original run, Paul has continued to write and perform, releasing solo material and revisiting The Blades’ catalogue through occasional reunions and live performances that remain as powerful and relevant as ever. His work stands as a vital chapter in the story of Irish music, influencing countless artists who followed. Join us as we talk to Paul about the early Dublin scene, the rise and legacy of The Blades, the stories behind those iconic songs, and his enduring love for music and songwriting. Let Christy Take It are proud to bring you Paul Cleary
