Paddy has finished his famous COOLIN sunday sessions until October.
But it's official - "The Lovers" will be back.
Having spent the last two months travelling for Derry Jazz Fest, the "Glitter and Sparkle ball" at the Belfast Cathedral quarter arts festival, Geneva, Madrid, Paris and all around France, he is now hiding out in the south, near Aix, writing for a new album with the Swingin' Lovers.

Will that do for a start?
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.
This is a band dancing 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 playing on as the levees break.
Anything goes!
From Bunk to Monk through Skunk, Junk, Punk and Funk...

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, Gospel diva Liz McComb, New Orlean's legend Linda Hopkins, Rachel des Bois, Human Spirit, P18 et 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, Ziggy Mandace, Eric Toulis, Jerome Etcheberry, Jeff Hallam, Guillaume Nouaux, Sebastien Girardot, Philippe Daurneau, Shona Taylor, et Hervé Coury 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 fait des claquettes: "J'adore Fred Astaire!!!" et vit dans une maison pleine de femmes.
Paddy touche à tout et apparaît même en garde de la reine dans "Marie-Antoinette", le film de Sofia Coppola!!! Sans trombone malheureusement.
