Paddy has just finished acting in the lead role
in a 9 week theater run of
"POUR UN OUI OU POUR UN NON" de Nathalie Sarraute.
Avec Jean-Marie Russo et Paddy Sherlock
Au Theatre Guichet Montparnasse, Paris.
The play got great reviews - including 2 "coups de coeur" from FIGAROSCOPE!!!
"Pour un oui ou un non" vu par nos rédactions:
"La désagrégation d'une amitié vue pas Sarraute. Difficile de résister. D'autant que les deux comédiens sont bien bons."
Never one to sit back on his laurels - The night after the curtain came down Paddy was already working at the Cine 13, Paris, acting as pianist Gonzales personal sports trainer for his 27 hour Guinness world record concert. The "moc"umentary film will be broadcast soon on FR3 television.

Will that do for a start?
Paddy Sherlock, born Dublin, Ireland,
has lived as a professional artist for more than 20 years in Paris, France.
He sings, plays trombone and is a published songwriter and actor.
He is the leader and frontman of Paris city's hottest original Swing band:
"The Swingin' Lovers".
He has recorded and toured the world with award winning artists and bands: Pheonix, FFF, Liz McComb, Linda Hopkins, Gonzales, P18, Bost & Bim, Rachel Des Bois, Eric Toulis and Jack Lukeman, made dozens of television and radio appearances on BBC, RTE, FR2 and FR3, Canal+ and played mainstage at some of the greatest festivals in the world. Glastonbury, Eurokeenes, Roskilde, Transmusical, Pinkpop, Pukkelpop, Montreal jazz festival, Francofolies and literally hundreds more.
From Buenos Aires to Budapest - the man has travelled!
He studied acting with Jordan Beswick at the Studio VO/VF and for the last two years has been working on acting in French with coach Francoise Roche at the ATC actors workshop in Paris.
In 2009 he appeared, acting in a lead role, in a critically acclaimed production of Nathalie Sarraute's "Pour un oui ou pour un non" with Jean-Marie Russo. It ran for two months at the Guichet Montparnasse theater, Paris.
His own infamous band "Paddy Sherlock & the Swingin' Lovers" has toured widely playing at Nice Jazz festival, Cork Guinness Jazz festival, Marseille jazz festival, Lionel Hampton jazz club, Paris, the Irish cultural centre - Paris, the Czech cultural centre - Paris, Farmleigh house - Dublin, The 2008 GOOGLE X-Mas party at Croke Park, Derry Jazz festival, Madrid, Lisbon and Bruxelles.
To try to describe Paddy's incredible music show...
Think Sinatra, think Fred Astaire but then think of Swing's shadow world.
A world inhabited by the hobo counter-culture of the 1930's.
The music as it was away from the glitzy world of Hollywood.
Now bring it up to date - to the 21st century.
His whole show dances to the joys of life somewhere between the Stray Cats and Louis Jordan, Nat King Cole, Dr. John, James Brown,
a little Tom Waits and some New Orleans street band funkin' it up with the hottest second line grooves you ever heard.
From Bunk to Monk through Skunk, Junk, Punk and Funk...
Anything goes!

Paddy est né en 1964 à Dublin, Irlande.
Enfant, à l'école, il lutte longtemps contre l'ennui et rêve de s'enfuir de cette prison.
A neuf ans, son oncle lui offre un trombone. Première clé pour l'évasion...
Paddy débarque à Paris à la fin des années 80. Il étudie avec Al Grey, le géant du trombone, et rejoint la scène musicale Parisienne.
"J'ai eu la chance de me retrouver dans "le bouillon de culture" de l'Hôpital Ephémère."
Il est le tromboniste de FFF pendant quatre ans :"Mon ticket autour du monde..."
Il joue aussi avec rock group Phoenix, Gonzales, Gospel diva Liz McComb, New Orlean's legend Linda Hopkins, Bost & Bim, Rachel des Bois, Human Spirit, P18, Les Bill Baxters et chanteur Irlandais Jack Lukeman, sans oublier le Nawak Orchestra.
Paddy fonde les Swingin’ Lovers, invente un répertoire éclectique et souffle la poussière de quelques grands classiques.
"Etre artiste, c'est chercher le Buzz l'Eclair en soi : "Vers l'infini et au delà!".
Notre musique c'est du swing en technicolor, de Bunk à Monk, par le funk, punk, junk et skunk... "
Paddy s'est entouré d'un noyau dur de musiciens, Billy Collins, Mike O'Dougherty, Marten Ingle, Fifi Naeder, et Phil Rad, mais laisse toujours la porte ouverte aux rencontres inspirées : Brisa Roché, Sal Bernardi, Eric Toulis, Koury et Bost & Bim, Jerome Etcheberry, Sebastien Girardot, Chris Cody et Guillaume Nouaux apparaissent aussi avec lui sur scène et en studio.
A trois, six, ou douze, les visages changent, la musique évolue, mais le son reste "Swingin' Lovers".
Auteur-compositeur, tromboniste, chanteur, comédien, Paddy écrit en anglais et en français.
Il a joué et composé la musique pour l'album "Charlie saute sur Noel" pour Charlie Hebdo magazine en 2008 avec Philippe Val, Charb, Patrick Pelloux, Wolinski, Benabar, Luz etc...
Il a étudié la comédie avec Jordan Beswick au Studio VO/VF et avec Francoise Roche à l'atelier ATC, Paris.
En 2009 il a joué "Pour un oui ou pour un non" de Nathalie Sarraute au theatre Guichet Montparnasse, Paris avec Jean-Marie Russo. Les critiques l'ont adoré.
Paddy touche à tout et apparaît même en garde de la reine dans "Marie-Antoinette", le film de Sofia Coppola!!!
Sans trombone malheureusement.
EN CONCERT AU SUNSIDE (PARIS) LES 19 & 20 JUIN PROCHAINS... Funk neo-orleanais (la vraie merveille musicale de la cité), be bop musculeux, fulgurances jazz ou embruns latinos mâtinés de ce mystérieux vaudou qui vous attrape sans crier gare : Et si c’était lui, Artero, le grigri porte bonheur de nos humeurs ?
