I am sure many of you wondered if you were going to see a St. Patrick's Day show this year. Allow me to reply with a resounding Fuck yeah Bay-Bay ! Paddy Rock was founded 25 years ago, by John Bowles and was at that time solely Celtic Rock and Punk. It was about 13 years ago I took it over and ran with it for a good long time. Then around the time of Covid Celtic Music started to wane globally. If an effort to keep Paddy Rock alive and relevant I began to pick up and play more Punk, Street Punk and Oi! as there were many similarities between the scenes and the cultures, crossing over in many instances. And this is where we sit today, celebrating Irish music and culture for St. Patrick's Day with an added smattering of Punk, Street Punk and Oi!. The show is not the 4 or 6 hour epics like they used to be, but I am certain they will get you up off your arse and ready for the Holy Day!  Be safe and be smart!
Enjoy the show and thanks for listening.

Second Episode is done, that must be a record! But if I am being honest this show was so amazing I had to post it. Hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did. This Episode is chalked full of Oi! & Street Rock and Roll, some of old favourites and some killer new bangers. Turn this beast up loud, but I don't think you will have much control over that. Look for a new one coming in the next week If you enjoy if you can follow me on Spotify for Playlists of other shows, and as always listen live on Wednesday 7-9 pm EST at the link below.

First show of the year, would like to say I have a good excuse but I don't. I am lazy and I have been actually trying to get out a bit more. There have been so many good shows, and so many more coming. regardless with it being VD day I thought I would give you some additional motivation. So for your earhole I present Season 24, Episode 1 of the Paddy Rock Podcast. Figured with all the wild politics going on we needed  a voice of reason to say "It's Going to be Alright" - So with fingers crossed, I hope for the best, enjoy the show!  If you enjoy if you can follow me on Spotify for Playlists of other shows, and as always listen live on Wednesday the deets are below.

So when things get tough I try to lean on my people. But being that stranger in a strange land, aka an immigrant of sorts, there are not many to lean on. This is where music comes into play because it is always there. Sad, Angry, Tired, Happy no matter the emotion or occasion I have a song, or playlist to cover it! So when people fail us, music never does - This my friends is how we made it through. Made it through every shitty situation that didn't break us.  With our love of music. As usual I often loathe December, this year was no exception. Surprisingly though this year, I was the victim of my own mind. The anticipated doom and gloom never arrived and the holiday went off without a hitch, enjoyed it with my kids right up until New Years Eve.  But fuck it 2025 cannot possibly get any worse...  Can it?  Enjoy the show and thanks for listening.

Catching up on posting a few older episodes that I prettied up and never posted.  Laziness is a real thing as is being sad, but hopefully we are past the sad part ! This was my birthday episode and I refuse to age gracefully. The last 18 months have sought to crush me, but I will not bend or break. I will embrace the music and yesterday and today to push through. So there you have aging and raging a good mix or Celtic Punk, Punk Rock and Street Punk.  Cheers to another year !

Took a few days to post this episode but it was too good not to post. So much Oi! gets played so I thought it would be fun to take look at a different part of Skinhead Culture. So bust out your platforms and paisley and get ready to cla[p your hands and stamp your feet. This is Bovver Rock!

It's been a while what can I say?  I have always been about quality, but these days I guess I am giving less fucks about how good I sound. As long as I keep busting out killer tunes, what difference does it matter?  So I will try to post more, and try to hit some older shows too.  Yesterdays live show was a banger so I figured let's start off big.  In the show I also give you a sample of the Still Out of Order Fest part 2 happening in November in Australia.  Enjoy the show !!
