Subject: RE: Obit: Paddie Bell (3 Aug 05)
I can only echo the lovely tributes above, although I did not meet Paddie until approximately ten years ago when I started going To "First Tuesday" at the Grey Horse pub in Balerno, where she was a regular attender. I remember her for her singing of "If I were a blackbird" and especially, Ron Kavana's "Reconciliation" when she alwys prefaced a repeat of the chorus with "And once more for Northern Ireland".
As others have said she was always friendly, no airs and graces or pedestals, and I have missed her not being at the sessions for some time.
