MUSIC: Paul Young to play Bulmers Live at Leopardstown

MULTI-PLATINUM selling singer, Paul Young, has been confirmed to play Bulmers Live at Leopardstown on July 19.

One of the UK’s finest soul voices, Paul Young released 14 Top 40 hits during a stellar period in the 1980s, scoring number one singles and albums in both the US and in Europe.

Young really came into his own with a formidable accomplished solo debut album, ‘No Parlez’, released in 1983, that included the chart-topping single ‘Wherever I Lay My Hat’.

This was followed by the huge international hit ‘Come Back and Stay’.

With the release of his second album, ‘The Secret of Association’ and the success of the single ‘Every Time You Go Away’, his status as a world star was confirmed.

Over the years, Young has continued to perform with various collaborators and with his band Los Pacaminos and has been touring globally to audiences of fans worldwide.

After an absence of recorded material, Young released an album of vintage soul songs in 2016 called ‘Good Thing’, produced by Arthur Baker, and began a lengthy period of tours and festival appearances.
