"he performs his songs
accompanied by the stomp
box that pulsates like a heartbeat,
picks up the harmonica,
Ukulele or Weissenborn lap-slide Guitar
with their own unique sounds.
You could listen to him forever..."

"Paul Fogarty verwöhnte sein Publikum im Exlibris in Schwäbisch Gmünd – Mit seinen „Dreams“ will er die Menschen aufwecken.
Werte und Gefühle in lyrische Texte verpackt, kunstvoll einfache Musik, eine Stimme, die im Wortsinn zu Herzen geht: Das ist Paul Fogarty. Der australische Songwriter, Sänger und vielseitige Instrumentalist füllte am Samstag das Exlibris in Schwäbisch Gmünd. Sein Publikum bezog er in seine warmherzige Umarmung mit ein."

"A singer-songwriter from the old school, Paul Fogarty follows strongly in the tradition of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Neil Young and like them in their best times Fogarty remains modest and forgoes much hoopla."

“+++ Paul Fogarty: für Sound of Forest bestätigt
Der australische Singer und Songwriter Paul Fogarty, der sich vor einigen Jahren in der Region Stuttgart niedergelassen hat, wurde jüngst für das diesjährige Sound of Forest Festival bestätigt. Das Festival findet vom 20. bis 22. August 2010 bereits zum zweiten Mal am beschaulichen Marbachstausee statt. Fogartys Musik zählt zum "New Acoustic Movement", dessen Ursprung weitestgehend im Folk, Pop und Blues liegt. Neben den Bands Friska Viljor, The Peacocks, Timid Tiger oder Kitty, Daisy & Lewis, darf man sich beim Festival mit Paul Fogartys sanften, authentischen Songs auf etwas ruhigere und entspannte Töne freuen.

"again and again he weaves his biting irony and British humour throughout his song lyrics. With much joy, the uncompromising individualist scolds his earlier jobs and work history as a failed taxi driver and postal service employee. And with his Australian homeland he maintains an intense and complex love-hate connection."
