What the world needs now (Is love sweet love) is the latest single from my new album Paddy Hanna's Bacharach show vol 1( out Nov 27th on Strange Brew), a love letter to the music of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. The song was produced by the great Chris Barry, mixed by Daniel Fox (Gilla Band) and features Dan Fitzpatrick (Badhands, Glasshouse), Brendan Dotherty (Villagers, Van Morrison) and Dave Tapley (Tandem Felix)
I was inspired by Burt Bacharach's music, but also the man himself, at a time when my career was faltering he gave me the chance to perform with him and his incredible band, it was an act of kindness I promised one day to pay forward, and today is that day. All proceeds from the single will go towards an incredible charity called ALONE, a selfless organisation who fight loneliness amongst older people in our communities. The thought that there are lonely and vulnerable older people out there right now for whom even a phone call would make their day breaks my heart, and with ALONE's help, I hope to do everything in my power to fight against the heartbreak of loneliness.
