Songs Through The Times

Songs Through The Times
By Paul McCann

Over the last 40 years I've written about two thousand  songs with a desire to get them recorded .
I have always wanted to share my songs with others and in 1989 I began busking my songs  in Sydney and around New South Wales .
I have been encouraged by fellow songwriters and musicians to continue writing . I went busking my songs all around the UK and Ireland from 1989 to 1991 and returned to Sydney with many memories of that experience .
From 1993 to 1999 I was invited to perform my songs around community radio stations  in Sydney , The Blue Mountains and The Southern  Highlands , then in 2005 I was encouraged to perform my songs at an Irish musical festivsl in Hyde  Park Barracks on St Patricks Day in Sydney . Then afterwards I performed at pubs and folk clubs in the Southern Highlands .

In 2008 one of  my songs entitled “Lost Sons  Of Erin “ won first prize 
in the Billboard Song contest in America . It was recorded by Robert and Wendy O’Hearn .

When  you’re chasing a dream , it’s never an easy road to travel but I kept  
believing my songs could  catch on because of the good friends that have helped me with encouraging me in their words of support .
In 1996 I recorded an EP with 5 original songs at a Studio in Welby with Robert Harpley .
Currently in 2025 I am working on  a new album , “Streets Of The Soul”
with 10 songs in LCDA studio with Fito Jorge , as the sound engineer who also arranged and produced my last album The Storyteller in 2022 .

Good things are well worth waiting for and after 40 years of writing songs , it’s been well worth the wait .
Thank you to all the people who appreciate the music I make .
You give me reason , you make my songs live and you are why I will continue to write and record because you believe in me .
Too many to name but you know who you are . I love you all .
