Paddy Rock Podcast: Season 22, Ep. 11 - A Fistfull of Nuthin’
Thursday Sep 14, 2023
Thursday Sep 14, 2023
Many of you know me personally, many do not... With that being said I tend to be a private person regardless. Well without being too specific I have been a little spotty lately due to life taking a left turn. My live shows have become hit or miss and my postings have become even more missed. I promise this is about to change. And for those of you who liked and love the Paddy Rock Roots show, that may be resurrected soon too. But for the meantime I do have a handful of older shows from this year I have yet to post up so I am about to. So as always turn it up loud and let the sweet sweet sounds of punk rock save your soul
Don't forget to listen to Paddy Rock live Thursdays from 7 - 9 om EST and check out my other show, Rocksteady Tonight Sundays from 6-8 pm on www.BootBoyRadio.net. Turn it loud and and thanks for listening !~ Phil (aka The Grinning Beggar).

Paddy Rock Podcast: Season 22, Ep. 10 - Street Level View
Monday May 22, 2023
Monday May 22, 2023
Never will I tell you I am tough as nails, I am not. But I did grow up with a street level view or the world. That view was not always pretty, pleasant and or PG. I spent my share of time poor, broken and beat up - But I always got back up! It was music that drove me onward. Today's show is filled with Celtic Punk, Street Punk and Oi! They all share that same working class mentality and that street level view. Never ever let anyone else dictate to you what is possible, or not. You never know unless you go for it.

Paddy Rock Podcast: St. Patrick’s Day 2023

Friday Mar 17, 2023
Here it is the official St. Patrick's Day Paddy Rockers. Truth be told I wasn't going to do one this year. Iam not trying to pander for sympathy, but on Feb 25 my mother passed from cancer. It's not been easy to deal with, and even harder being an only child doing it on your own. Though one thing about my mom was she was fiery! She'd never let me mope or feel sorry for myself. So while it was a struggle, here it is a tribute to my mom and a little show for St. Patrick's Day. Loaded full of standards and some new classics! I would add some widsom but I won;t, just enjoy the show with someone you love! Don forget to Listen live Thursday from 7 - 9 pm EST and check out my other show, Rocksteady Tonight Sunday from 6-8 pm at www.BootBoyRadio.net. Turn it up loud and and as always thanks for listening ~ Phil (aka The Grinning Beggar).

Friday Mar 17, 2023
Happy St. Patrick's Day Paddy Rockers. When I moved the site and archived all the shows some concerned listeners reached out and wanted to make sure the the St. Poguetrick's Day episode would be dusted off. Well what the Heck I can't fault good logic, a proper request or the Pogues so here it is! Sorry but I lost the playlist, but it's The Pogues, who the Hell needs one !?!?! Don forget to Listen live Thursday from 7 - 9 pm EST and check out my other show, Rocksteady Tonight Sunday from 6-8 pm at www.BootBoyRadio.net.

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
