  • Bio

    "Paddy Sherlock: Jazz, Swing, Insolence". (A nous Paris magazine) -----"Paddy Sherlock sings of life, love, long nights and revolution and manages to sound like he's lived every minute of it."
 (Dubliner magazine). ----- PAT KENNY RTE RADIO 1: "You fellows really swing... It's very slick and sophisticated, C'est çà! They are absolutely fantastic! Paddy Sherlock's Swingin' Lovers are terrific!" ----- JAZZHOT MAGAZINE: "...Paddy Sherlock - Plein d'humour et débordant d'énergie, la formation a mis le feu... étonne d'abord par son important public estudiantin, jeune, un spectacle qui ravit. Enfumée et swinguante... Les quelques mètres au pied de la scène sont investis par les danseurs, un retour aux sources du jazz - Un spectacle plein de vie, et donc de surprises." ----- JOHN CREEDON - RTE RADIO 1 .. .. "That's it! I'm definitely goin' out tonight, and I'm goin' Jazzin' - that's for sure. Fantastic! - The sound of "The Swingin' Lovers" with front man Paddy Sherlock... Wow! - And suddenly that Friday feeling has spread across the land... " .. .... ----- JAZZ HOT MAGAZINE .. .. Colored by the charisma of Paddy Sherlock: natural-born comedian. He passes with royal ease from trombone (which he seems to make part of himself) to microphone. These guys should be prescribed to all depressives! ...... ----- RADIO FRANCE .. .. "The Swingin' Lovers shoot from the hip of 1930's jazz into the 21st century... They put the "HOT" back into the "Clubs de Paris"... and should not be missed by anyone looking for an eclectic mix of kick-ass jazz both past and present."
.. ----- BIBA MAGAZINE .. .. "The best Party album this month!"

  • Influences

    Influences include a multitude of 20th century American and European music. Sometimes reminiscent of Berlin 30's Cabaret, sometimes passing through Sinatra and Astaire. But think rather of Swing's shadow world, a world inhabited by hobo counter-culture, box-cars and the blues. The music as it was away from the glitzy world of Hollywood. 
 All brought up to date and re-invented 21st century style. 
 His show dances to the joys and toils of life somewhere between Louis Jordan and the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Dr. John, James Brown, a little Brecht & Weil, a pinch of Tom Waits and a big helping of New Orleans street bands funkin' it up with the hottest second line grooves you ever heard. From Bunk to Monk through Skunk, Junk, Punk and Funk... Anything goes!
