"'Effortlessly accomplished, you can only imagine the heights this band will reach"

- Hotpress (13.07.07)

"'Absolutely stunning"

- Rory McConnell, Radio 1 (16.03.07)

"'Beautiful"

- Stephen McCauley - Electric Mainline (Radio Foyle / Ulster) (11.09.07)

"'assured and inventive...the mournful violins fit to accompany a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions, whilst Patrick McKeown’s voice quivers with emotion, instilling instant melodrama."

- Drowned In Sound (22.05.07)

"'Scene In the Park' registers as substantial, important music."

- AU magazine : Issue 32 (Dec '06)

"a group of supremely gifted musicians"

- www.culturenorthernireland.org (05.01.07)

"McKeown's ululating vocal is a marvel, dextrous and affecting... a true talent"

- BBC - Across The Line (28.11.06)

"A rare mix of the simple and the textured, the plainsong and the cathedral of sound"

- BBC - Across The Line (02.10.06)

"Diverse, freeform and imbued with a skewed romanticism, this is music you can quietly lose your heart to."

- AU Magazine: Issue 29 (Sept '06)

"extremely impressive, filled with personality and left turns

I'd advise anyone looking for something intimate yet different to check them out."

- www.fastfude.com

"from the heart would make any listener interested in hearing more"

- Irish Music Magazine

"Impressive!"

- Twenty4-Seven Magazine

"a refreshingly unique set of songs that suggest the arrival of an extremely exciting talent."

Paddy, Ruaidhri and John on NVTV (September 2007):

Paddy, Ruaidhri, John, Cvan Fyans and Rob Baker at the Common Grounds Cafe, Belfast (Feb 2007)

In short..

was solo, was in catoan, is solo again.

or, the longer version...

As a solo performer Paddy had songs aired internationally as well as on more local stations like Radio Ulster and Raidio Na Life. Paddy's page was featured on the MySpace homepage in 2006. He has played support for Starsailor and Leya, appeared in the Belfast Telegraph a number of times, The Irish News, GO Magazine, Twenty4-Seven, Bad Habit Mag, the BBC's ATL website, AU Magazine, and had a glowing article/interview on www.culturenorthernireland.org. Early in 2007 he garnered A&R interest from some of the major labels as well as being asked to perform support for the likes of Jack L and perform at the notable Out To Lunch Festival, which bring with them much publicity.

Paddy then formed, catoan. The band gained airplay on BBC Radio 1, Dublin's Phantom FM, Cork's 96-103FM, Radio Ulster, U105FM, and Radio Foyle, and recorded a sessions for most of these stations as well. They have appeared in the Belfast Telegraph, the Belfast Beat and the Big List, and had a very positive feature in Hotpress. The band played support for Kate Nash and Jack L as well as having played the prestigious IMRO Showcase Tour. One of Paddy's tracks, 'Stranger', was one of the selected tracks on the IMRO Showcase Tour's 'the very best rising Irish talent' CD that went out with the Irish Daily Star to its 500,000 readership around Ireland in April. Toward the end of last year the band were featured on Balcony TV, NVTV and 02 Making Waves, and embarked on their first Irish tour.

Their debut mini-album, "and will i" (all songs were written by Paddy), was release through Curious Incident Records late last year.

catoan decided to disband in January 2008.

Plato's science of musical proportion and Gurdjieff's cosmological science of octaves are used to illustrate how the music of the spheres" can only be revealed through choosing the right units of measure.
