Patrick Kielty played this song on Radio 2 this morning and it never fails to make me smile. It’s so jaunty. Have a listen!
And yes, he is Scottish despite the name, he comes from Paisley.
Pining for the West
Meanderings about recipes, books, craft and more
Thanks for this, I love this song!
I was confused over his nationality as well at first LOL
Hi Jessica, Thanks for visiting and commenting. I’ve been lurking at Park Bench via Reader in the Wilderness but haven’t got around to commenting yet!
Nutini – a fine old Scottish name, like Nardini, Casci, Coia, Biagi, Giacopazzi – all beloved ice-cream or fish and chip shop owners. Sadly almost all gone now.
A Scot with an Italian name, singing American jazz. I love YouTube!!
Pearl,
So do I. Paulo’s one of the more successful ones in the music business, a generation or two away from the original immigrants. He has a reputation for getting the crowd going.
He seems to be very shy though as he hardly ever shows his face when he’s performing, maybe that’s his Scottish genes coming out!
