Paddy Rock Podcast: Season 23, Ep 04 - Back With a Bang
Thursday Sep 05, 2024
Thursday Sep 05, 2024
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 !!

Wednesday Mar 13, 2024
After last weeks failed 1st St. Patrick's Day Episode I owed it to everyone to put together a real banger. There are 2 key ingredients for this: #1. Listener Input #2. minimal Interruptions so this is is mostly requests and I only intro and outro the program. Talk about the best of both worlds. Have a Happy and safe St. Patrick's Day and remember despite all the hype and shenanigans around the day, it's ok not to drink!

Paddy Rock Podcast: Season 23, Ep 02 - 80's Rule !
Wednesday Feb 07, 2024
Wednesday Feb 07, 2024
Back in the 80's Punk, or Hardcore as it was known was still pretty new. If you recall all those 80's movies the villains were always punks! The scene was violent, and came from a class of people who needed to be hear. There was Reaganomics, Gorbachev and Nuclear War Drills and civil unrest everywhere. Funny the names have changed as have the faces but the songs and the messages are as relevant as always. Enjoy this walk through the past, the present and most likely the future and I will see you in the pit !

Paddy Rock Podcast: Season 23, Ep. 01 - 23 Years & Counting
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Here we are on the precipice of 2024, after the past year could things get worse? Maybe, but will they... doubtful. I have withstood the storm of life and remained steadfast. The focus has shifted a bit but the core has remained solid, which is great music for great people. When I took this show over it was to continue bringing music to the masses. At that time it was entirely Celtic Rock and Punk, but over the years it dwindled, though last year there were a significant amount of really good new releases. Thanks to the folks at LCP for their dedication and love of the scene, it helps fuel me at times as well. Anyway, this episode features quite a bit of Celtic music and a ton of Punk and Oi! This episode is certain to get you up and moving. Enjoy it and hang tight for the next episode, maybe later this week.

What you have here is the same as me saving Christmas. Like I said before, I didn't realize I had become a tradition for so many listeners. So at the 11th Hour I pulled another one and broke off what I think is a pretty fucking awesome Christmas show. Not going to make any bones about it 2023 sucked, the WORST year of my life. I lost my mom, my wife and my pop is in the hospital trying to keep both his legs. To say it's not been easy is an understatement, but somehow I made it out and I will be better for it in the end (I think). If I care share one thing with anyone who reads this, no matter how crap fucking shit things seem, just DO NOT quit on yourself. Things will get better! For the rest of you respect that Christmas can be tough for a lot of us, call of those close to you and make sure they are ok. Sometimes just one person caring makes all the difference. Enjoy the show and spread the love have a Merry Christmas and I will see you in 2024 for one spectacular fucking year, and hopefully more Celtic Punk !

Last week was Australian Band T-Shirt week and as such I celebrated it! There is little in terms of music that I enjoy more that Aussie jams! So after spinning some new tunes I opted to reach down under and cram your earholes full of Australian Audible Heaven. To say this show is a banger really doesn't do it justice so just enjoy the show and spread the love.

Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
Season 20, Episode #10 And you didn't have to wait months and months! I actually got a late start on today's show and was not even close to prepared, in fact I made this playlist while I was doing the show. Though within the first 7 minutes I had it done and we were kicking ass. Kicked in off with some Cock Sparrer, which set the tone for the rest of the show. Figured with Labour Day just passing, why not bust out a set on some Blue Collar Bangers and do an all Oi! Show.. So I did. Was a busy and evening, but the tunes are solid and are plentiful. Just remember because someone is a Skinhead doesn't automatically make them racist. Don't forget to drop by and visit our friends at Covert Vinyl Fire it up and as always thanks for listening ~ Phil (aka The Grinning Beggar).

Thought easing back into the saddle would be easy, but getting back into anything after a lay off is difficult. Driving, Relationships, The Gym and even Podcasting / Radio - You just forget how somethings work...! So, this episode was not without its struggles, now you have a shortened one. I recently became acquainted with Chad and Thora some local peeps busting their asses to make the local punk scene great again. Chad plays in a few bands (Blanks 77 and The Mesos) and they also host the Pretty Vacant Podcast. So in recognition of the great music they play and promote I have included some of the awesome local / regional tunes that have been and are coming to the area, in addition to a whole host of other great punk and Oi! Enjoy the show and spread the love.

About Paddy Rock
Paddy Rock was founded in March 2000. The surrogate child of cheap beer and great music, John Bowles should be recognized as the founder what may arguably the longest-running Celtic/Punk podcasts still in existence, and perhaps one of the longest-running podcasts in general still going strong!
About 2012, I came into the picture. Having been running my own show for a handful of years, I was offered an invitation to come into the fold of Paddy Rock. While Paddy Rock had previously been my "competition," it was also one of the main reasons I started my own podcast, and the gold standard I held myself to. It was an opportunity I could not pass up.
Shortly after I joined, John decided to step away from Paddy Rock to follow other passions in the form of One Kind Radio. This left me as the man behind the brand, and for a long while we prospered. I tried to diversify the brand, adding additional shows -- most notably Corey DesRoches, formerly of PE Irish Radio and Donny Zuzula of The Tosspints.
Unfortunately, over time, as all things do, this lost it's shine. Almost indicative of things to come. About 2019, our booming little niche of Celtic Punk & Rock was drying up. Fewer releases were coming my way, fewer shows were being done and interest was dropping quickly. Some stalwarts remained, such as Shite n Onions, and London Celtic Punks to promote, along with notable bands such as The Tossers, Mr. Irish Bastard, The Kilmaine Saints and The Go Set to name a few.
In late 2019, the decision was made. Paddy Rock had to change, or be lost... It was at this point I decided to adopt more Punk Rock and Oi music for the show. All these genres embrace the blue collar, working-class spirit, so it felt natural, worked well and made for really great programming. It was shortly after this decision was made I was offered the opportunity to bring Paddy Rock to Boot Boy Radio as a weekly show on their internet radio station, you can catch it live Thursdays 7-9 pm EST. Some but not all shows are what you will find here.
Paddy Rock was always about sharing really great music from bands that maybe did not have the reach. And it still is, and always will be. While we may not spin as much Celtic Punk and Rock as we once did, the spirit and heart of the music is still alive and always will be. Thank you for reading, thank you for listening and thank you for your years of support.
Slainte ~ Phil aka The Grinning Beggar
