INDIE-PIANO SKA, INDIE-PIANO BOOGIE, INDIE-PIANO ROCK...there are so many words that could be used to describe the music, but just have a listen and you'll hear the diverse sounds are all linked by Paddy's instantly identifiable piano playing, voice songs and arrangements.
In the year following his graduation from Kings College with a music degree, Paddy was introduced to Gerry Bron, signed a deal with Bronze Records and recorded the highly original album 'WALKING ON EGGSHELLS' [GBRCD1001]. This, his second album was recorded mainly at Gallery Studios with encouragement from the studio's owner and Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera. Taken from the album, the first single 'UNSQUARE DANCE' [GBRSD1001] is a riotous and truly original arrangement of Dave Brubeck's classic, and has received accolades all around. Brubeck himself said, 'I love it wouldn't change a note'. The video to the second single 'YOU THINK YOU"RE SO DAMN FUNNY' [GBRCD1003] got good coverage on French and German T.V., helping to propel the album to the No.1 bestselling Jazz/Blues album in France in May 2005. As well as Paddy's songs and arrangements, the album features five songs co-written with iconic lyricist Pete Brown, most well known for his collaborations with Cream.

Look out for the new album 'BASED ON A TRUE STORY', in 2007. Recorded in Denmark and London, mixed in Italy it was a truly international affair and the album is Paddy's best yet...
