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.
