The Blue Nile - Paul Buchanan interview on TV3

[@andreasegde]

A friend of mine also wrote to The Blue Nile, and I received two postcards, one from Robert Bell and one from Paul Buchanan, with one wishing me a happy birthday, and the second just wishing me the best. They are treasured items.

Hats may well be one of the best albums ever in my opinion. Beautiful, beautiful music

[@TheSpookyDuke]

For sure one of the best albums of the 80s and we all know 80s are the best decade in music ever...

[@WillCrazie]

I have the pleasure of serving Paul most days in the shop I work in in Glasgow's west end and I can say the man is nothing short of a geniune star,very VERY humble and a true gentleman!! A guy I've only really got to know in the past year but I've been a fan for years,Tinstle town is still in my top 5 songs of all time so to realy meet him and get on so well is amazing. Paul!,your a real star!! :)

I've watched this interview at least 100 times now. This Scottish-American lass loves the Blue Nile very much! Thanks so much for the post!

[@1daylonger]

Paul's wonderful songs have kept me company on long journeys and through high's and lows over the years.

[@johnmckinlay67]

I remember when "A Walk Across The Rooftops" was released and I have been a fan ever since. "Hats"believe it or not, took me a while to get into..but eventually it grew on me,and is now one of the best albums I have ever heard. The Blue Nile are a very acquired taste, and Buchanans voice is out there for the rest of the world to share, if people will take a few moments of their time to listen.

What a great sense of outlook. Rarely do I see a lyricists write with so much respect when you listen to them it has that true sense of intimacy. I don't mind that it takes 6 years for the band to produce an album, as long as it's good and worthwhile to listen. Truly unforgettable songs. Thanks for posting this interview...

[@iangardiner8303]

2019 ur never alone as a Blue Nile fan

[@AustralienSkies]

nice

[@taracatalin]

Thanks so much for posting this. Paul is indeed one of a kind. Love the soul and spirit of the man and ofcourse the incredible music he, Robert and PJ have made over the last 24 years.

[@joecc6]

I'm only just getting into the Blue Nile. Nice Interview. I would say 'Tinseltown in the Rain' is one of the all time greats, very groovy and dancey, yet captivates with the yearning lyrics and vocals. Mad stuff indeed )

[@Mardyfella]

Joe Connor Yep. Yep. Yep. I know you wrote that 7 years ago but it’s still true.

[@gingerh68]

Nice job Mark...great interview, must be a fab perk to get to meet someone you admire so much

[@IfUfindthisURlost]

Wow! So often when you love a band's music, then see an interview with them it destroys the magic. However his quiet modesty only makes me respect the beautiful records he crafts even more.

[@frompixieland]

thanks for posting this video. I very much appreciate.

[@andreasegde]

I once got two birthday cards from The Blue Nile back in the 80s, because (I think) a friend had written to them saying what a fan I was. One from Paul, and one from Robert. I still treasure them.

[@DuxJerome]

I cant descibe how unique and beautiful his voice is.

[@brianab31]

Thanks for the post. Paul B is fantastic!

[@chelsamalco]

Thanks for posting this, i have never heard Paul being interviewed before.The interview speaks for its self.excellent cheers

[@annie123454]

paul b must be the most modest man in music of all time!!!!!!!!!!

[@pierstheoneandonly]

Thank you. Most interesting.

[@pizeek]

I could not agree with you more! I am a lifetime fan and find their music to be the soundtrack for my life.

[@CPTILING]

this interviewers brilliant. youd want interviewed by him every week.

[@francissinnott1435]

You're so, so right about Marty Whelan, he's a terrible interviewer. However, this interview was done by Mark Cagney, a real music fan and an obviuos fan. He does a fine job interviewing Paul.

[@crieff1sand2s]

great interview

[@gingerh68]

a true gentleman

[@Yoamm]

Is really a SIR with all the letters

[@teawanga]

God Bless Paul Buchanan!!!!

[@Mankyknees]

what a nice chap

[@Dubcelt67]

@ennver3 He says " Bono is not a soul singer". Great band had the pleasure of seeing them 6 times in Dublin over the years

[@GodOfVictory501]

Paul Buchanen seems like a really sound guy. Mark Cagney is a dope

[@philips1998]

lost track and glad that I found out what is cooking...

[@irishmusiccentral]

I don't recognise it either, so I'm not sure where it's from..

[@sinbad0910]

5:50 what makes the blue nile the underground legends they are

[@baldy1]

class act heard them many years ago.. tricky dicky comon da hoops

[@lbuck656]

Can someone please tell me what song he’s singing in the concert clip? Bring the house down?

[@joecc6]

@spartak95 I thought he did fine...he's obviously a fan...

[@frompixieland]

any info on the new songs/album? thanks

[@DrAlbertMeinheimer]

Ahh back to the time before the shit hit the fan in Ireland.

[@Yoamm]

@Yoamm A gentleman we all letters

[@brianab31]

@Thefaze100963 Interesting question. However, I'm a little curious as to why you're asking this question on a post for a Scottish person, from a Scottish band. (I know the interviewer is Irish, but I feel that he's rather inconsequential. I could be wrong.) I say, listen to more Scottish music! ;-D

[@kilkee100]

Marty Whelan is like a bad version of David Brent. God he's cringeworthy, and him talking to one of the coolest men on the planet...

[@dowantak]

pb is full of himself lol

[@alexbrown-ks1hq]

buchanan is a nice guy but take tinseltown in the rain out of it and they are shit lets be honest
